USMC Eagle Industries Rhodesian Recon Vest
When the going gets tough, the Rhodesians know how to get it goin’
The Eagle Industries Rhodesian Reconnaissance Vest is a choice for those looking for a cost efficient and multi role MOLLE webbing platform. Unlike your standard tactical harness, this item allows for a single ceramic (or steel for those who are insane) plate to be carried in the frontal section of the vest… while there are rumors of a back panel, this mythical back panel is neither supplied or has been seen by Misty Mountain Supply. The Rhodesian Reconnaissance Vest is a prime example of the pinnacle of standalone tactical harness technology, worth every dollar. It will meet your needs for a low profile and simple rig with a variety of MOLLE attachment points and limited compatibility with ALICE clips if you are feeling like fielding a fusion of retro and modern kit. Adjustable straps, belts and clips are sporting across the Recon Vest to provide both sizing solutions for everyone, while also ensuring rapid removal and equipping of the vest in high stakes situations (or you are late to the innawoods LARP). Modularity goes further, to begin with, the padded shoulder straps allow for increased comfort while being sported in an “H” or ‘X” style on your back. Not to mention, the front plate carrier panel is able to fold down when empty, turning the Recon Vest into an improvised “TAP” vest. These Recon Vests are a solid choice for those looking to grab their first carrier and those who are veteran users and are looking for a cool new option, providing a solid baseline for a new kit build for all.
