OTV Vest thoughts and advice please

[mcnab360]

Hey all

Im thinking of changing over to an OTV interceptor vest to make my USMC load out look more realistic. does anyone know which load outs the marines used on battle los angles?

Firstly has anyone had any experience with these? i what i mean is im a big lad and have a 48" chest and im wondering before i buy one would it fit lol

Also what should I have on it?

This is what i currently have
1 x double m4 mag pouch
1 x radio pouch
1 x camel back pouch
2 x utility pouches ( for my mars bars lol )

They don't use the OTV anymore, they replaced it with the MTV. I haven't used one personally but from what I've heard (and just looking at pics) it's overly bulky and 'meh' at best. You'd be better off with an SPC.

I've had one add addmitedly not a great but not bad ether.
I have a 44" chest and I found it small. It's also quite restrictive.
As others have said the OTV is barley used anymore , replaced with IOTV and MTV ( I think )

Do you mean for reference pics and stuff or to purchase? Cause I'm sure you know Z1s policy on linking to other retailers. If you do a google for 'Flyye' or 'Pantac' + the name of the vest you'll turn up a bunch of results. For ref pics check out MP.net

MTV


SPC

Cheers fella

Yes i did mean for reference. So i can work out which would be best for me really.

The mtv looks similer to the otv but nicer really do like the spc. Will do some fishing and find out prices me thinks.

Re: OTV Vest thoughts and advice please

i would recommend the flyye otv (outer tactical vest they call it ) , alot of marines demanded their otv's back because they hated the mtv
the flyee one is about 1500g so under half the weight of the ciras
