Whether
you are completely happy with your current static vest or not
is beside the point. Modular vests are the way forward .. or
are they ?
With
the ever growing range of Guarder kit I feel it might be wise
to clarify some of the names designated to the different Guarder
Vests. There seems to be a bit of confusion on the different Airsoft
forums I have been reading as to which is what when referred to
by the Guarder names.


The
Guarder MOD II Vest is a replica of the Us Army MOLLE II Issue
FLC (fighting load carrier) and is one of Guarder’s latest little
gems. The MOD I Vest is a copy of the Ranger RACK and the MOD
Armour is a replica of the INTERCEPTOR OTV. The Guarder MODULAR
vest is something totally different and is similar to the Omega
range of the BlackHawk Vests. Hope that clears things up a bit.






What
is MOLLE ? The
Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment known as MOLLE is
a modular load bearing system designed to enhance the survivability
and lethality of the modern Soldier and Marine. The MOLLE is a
completely modular system that is worn, rather than carried, and
which allows for tailorability for improved mission efficiency
without compromising mobility or readiness.



Molle I v/s Molle II ? The
bits that effect are us the FLC changes.
Fighting
Load Carrier (FLC): The FLC replaces the Load Bearing Vest of
the original MOLLE system. The FLC rides higher on the user abdomen
and allows for a better tailor-ability of pockets to the users
specific needs.

The
waist belt is adjusted by removing the vertical stiffened webbing
located on the back of the vest and adjusting as needed. The FLC
also features two very convenient map pouches on the inside of
the vest.
When
the load-bearing vest was part of the initial MOLLE issue in 1999,
it featured a complex socket system that connected the vest to
the pack and was designed to help distribute weight to a Soldier’s
hips. That vest was quickly scrapped, as was the socket system,
and a new load–bearing vest was issued with Molle 2. The redesigned
vest no longer attaches to the pack, but is still generally disliked
by the Marines in the field as they tend to attach their pouches
directly onto the body armour.


This
new vest sits higher on the user abdomen allowing room for the
fixed waistbelt of the Pack Frame. Webbing Channels located on
the vest allow for positioning of all MOLLE Compatible pockets,
to the wearer’s specific needs. The incorporated waistbelt
also allow for the positioning of all MOLLE pockets. Adjustments
are made by using the 2 vertical 1-½ inch webbing’s
on the back of the vest and the 1-inch webbing’s in the
chest area of the vest.
More
information about the changes can be found here.
Guarder
MOD II ? The
Guarder MOD II Vest is made of 100% DuPont Cordura(R) 1000 Denier
and features very highly quality side release buckles and snap
fasteners. The general build of this vest feels much better then
their original MOD I (The Rack replica..) vest, this is rather
odd as they are both made of the same material though this one
does feel a bit more stiffer and heavier when comparing the vests.


New
Guarder kit all nicely packaged with the cordura and Intrudershop
tags on the left.
On the right is the Guarder MOD II in one of the many different
set-up’s.
When
comparing the quality of the pouches side by side with Speciality
Defense (the company which makes the Issue MOLLE kit) Guarder’s
version does visually look and feel of a higher quality.
The
great thing about this vest like any MOLLE system is that it can
be configured how YOU like it, people with the generic vests often
find that they usually don’t have enough pockets or have too many.
If you feel that you will only be using a pistol on the day you
can simply rip off all other pouches leaving only a couple of
pistol pouches. This can also work for dedicated grenadiers, you
can customize this vest with only grenade pouches and hence creating
your very own grenadier vest. Once you have the pouches, “your
imagination is the only limit”.


Incase
you were wondering, the woodland pattern on guarder vests is very
accurate.
You can also get this and almost all other Guarder vests in Olive
Drab or black, incase you feel that the us woodland is not to
your taste.
