Every operator needs this base system

I-O Tactical LB Vest
The Blackwater Gear I-O LB Vest is our base system for custom tailoring a kit for any operator. All Blackwater Gear pieces work together with this vest system, allowing infinite configurability.

This vest system includes:
• a zip front plate carrier

• two side panels

• a rear plate carrier.

• Zip front allows easy don and doff in high-risk situations or medical emergencies.

• Can be worn over soft body armor, Interceptor vests or over no body armor at all.

• Side panels can be independently added to fit any operator and to add mounting locations.

• Proven MOLLE/PAL systems cover the vest, assuring configurability and adjustability for every situation.

• Side straps and buckles allow easy width adjustment. Elastic stays secure loose strap ends, so they stay put.

• ITW Guilletex™ buckles allow quick adjustments and modifications as loads or positions change. Also promote a low infrared signature.

• Shoulder D-rings allow attachment of carabiners and other equipment.

• Holds standard SAPI-style plates.

• Internal pocket allows for secondary weapon carry.

• Emergency drag strap on rear panel aids in removal of operator during extreme situations.
