Delta Operator Assault Vest: Tactical Gear Ahead of Its Time?
Ойын-сауық
The Delta Operator Assault Vest is a vest that doesn't get much love in todays tactical gear climate. This chest rig was coming about in the twilight era of more modern gear, while General US forces were rocking Alice gear. This piece of kit in my opinion is pretty cool, and thus is worthy of a rabbit hole.

Blackhawk has never been the "best" thing on the market, but they sure as hell innovated with lots of stuff during the early days of the GWOT. It's easy to poo-poo now, with 20 years of hindsight, but it was way better than any equipment we were being issued at the time

Yeah, I used to buy a lot of their stuff until I found better equipment for the same price point. Still have my Raptor X3 backpack though... I just am, very careful, how much weight I put in it these days. Many of their designs, especially in hydration and backpacks, inspired A LOT that followed on. Something is to be said of that.

I have a similar early 2000's molle vest/rig.. Changed some of the pouches with slim (more) "modern" open top pouches with a bungee in the front, two rows of 3 mags and two old school vintage pouches marked " 2 x Diameco 5.56" inside. Its a funny piece of gear.. The configuration is quite slim even with 6, 30rd mags..

Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) is us militarys molle version of this. Super underrated piece of budget kit. Then they had TAP system which is also slept on.
Administrative Results... White-Collar Incomes... Whutevs... I'd love to see you review the IBV-88 rig. It was apparently U.S. "spec ops issue" for a long time, it was meant to replace ALICE gear (before MOLLE came on-line), and was worn by spec ops in the movie "Clear and Present Danger," 1994
I always wanted that vest when I was a kid. As the name implies, it was developed for Delta Force and those pouches were built to handle a wide range of magazines for when mission profile disallows the use of standard military issue. It's still a bad ass vest and is still made today. Id be able to paintball with that vest because of those magazine pouches. This is most likely the first good review I've seen on this vest.

Admin stay lurking the recesses of the Managerial mind - Truly an Executive Outcome
I had a somewhat similar set up during the first 8 years of GWOT that i used off and on. It was the Rhodesian style black hawk chest rig. The large mag pouches gave way to smaller ones because of speed and to make sure us bigger guys can get in and out of vehicles and through tiny door ways or hallways. I liked those larger mag pouches because you never knew if you needed to use that 4th pouch for a large water bottle or another radio.
I have some .44's, AZ local, with nothing better to do and would love to support the channel.
Get in boys. We’re going to Panama.
gear was just as ahead of its time as our very own talking chest rig armor combo
Born in 96? Everything I own is older than you. Much continued success to you, sir.
That vest was standard issue to Special Forces SFARTAETC students for use in CQB laye 90s early 2000s. I was issued one.
I've lately gotten into retro gear from the Cold War era and this video is exactly what I needed for the tism.
Back in the early 2000's I was playing airsoft. A few of the guys I was playing airsoft worked at DPMS, when it was in St Cloud MN. So our airsoft team had old school Blackhawk gear. Simply because one of the guys could get it for 30% off retail prices. If I remember correctly. One of the guys (Keith) got a black version of that vest
Now you need a web belt and a blackhawk drop leg holster to complete the package 👍🏼 I had this gear back in the 90’s
Love the channel name AdRez. Keep up the fantastic work brother.
AWS makes a product called the strike vest that was originally designed for delta, i believe its called the strike vest. Still in production today
These chest rigs and derivatives aren’t too bad. I ran a similar one in Auscam. Had two triple mags on each side and then the water bottles behind and 3 grenade pouches above the right mag pouches. That was my first vest for in vehicle use. Prior to that used an SADF M83 in Auscam, it didn’t last long, I ran out belt kit with an LBV for longer field trips and would carry as many mags as I could 12-18 if I really had too. It’s good to see how we’ve progressed from this and companies did see a need/want for upgraded gear which we now see as second class or only suitable for LARP and Airsoft but guys would trust this gear on a two way range.
I have that same vest. Well, it’s more recent, and black, and I’ve had it modified a little bit. (With pouches for .44 Magnum speedloaders. Yes, really.) It’s a shame Blackhawk quit making it a few years ago. Sometimes it’s nice to just be able to buy one piece of gear that’s ready to go out of the box.
Loving the 2nd channel content, perfect name change as well. Also, crazy that your second channel is at the same subs that your main channel was when I first found you.
Holy jeebus this makes me feel old. I remember ordering the Blackhawk catalog online back in the day. Good ole AOL dial up lol I bought the AR15 4 mag drop leg pouch and the drop leg holster for my USP. That stuff seemed so high tech and just looked cool. Expensive range day wear is all it was basically.
No camo like woodland camo ! I'm glad you gave respect to Black Hawk. I own some of their stuff and its made very well.
I'm hoping this leads to some Spy vs. Spy shenanigans somehow.
Sweet kit. I got really into tactical gear while I was working for the prison, after a coworker got a few of us into airsoft. Most of them didn't stick with it, I did but haven't hit a field in too long now. Had a friend from karaoke night who was USAF Security Forces, I got some cool gear from him. His Blackhawk vest was cool but it was one with attached pouches that didn't fit what I was running, so it got sold. The best stuff, man I got to tell you the full story on this sometime, was a box with everything but a uniform. KEVLAR INCLUDED. He was skinnier than I am so it's a little snug but I really don't wanna get rid of it.
Looks like the stargate vest
it doesn't matter what looks good or sounds good in kit. In the end it is shooter's preferance. As i was told by an old SF dude who now owns an excellent shop somewhere in NC that supplies Bragg commandos and LE: " everything ends up getting franke-mollied in the end". If H gear is going to benefit your shooting style and fits your body better then go with that works ! thank you for making this video.
Nice, the DOAV is technically an LBV, not a Chest Rig (as it is a Vest with backing capability, and not open backed harness only in semantics), but we won't hold it against you. Same era as and similar to the LBV-88, also a dope system that still works pretty darn well.

Can't go wrong with Old School Kit.
The front slot in the ammo pouch is for a "quick" mag and the retention strap is to hold down the other mags. Also you could stuff a mag and the front of the velcro flap into it so you had a quick reload available and the others are covered and secured. I was issued one and loved it at the time. It was always blackhawk and eagle making cool shit back then.
“Managerial Outcomes” *inhales* *exhales* What have you done Admin?
this was well before MOLLE / FLC... more early-mid 90s. Most were BlackHawk! production... I had one of the Eagle Industries produced versions which was more refined in its execution... the pockets were derived from the the SF30AK style chest rigs. Layout was heavily influenced by Arktis vest platforms from the 80s. EGL sends
Loving the 2nd channel content, perfect name change as well.
Wow. I'd forgotten these existed. I had a cheap knockoff of one of these that I airsofted in a long time ago. Three mag pouches on the left and utility pouches on the right. Replaced it with the now-discontinued Eagle AK chest rig that I still have and used in a Brutality match.
Ran the MOLLE version in ‘04. It absolutely works better without the pistol belt attached. Still got in a chest with some other old crap for my kids to look at. It was in interesting piece of kit at a time period when the learning curve was growing at extremely fast rate for textile manufacturing, sewing quality, and flat out what works and doesn’t.
Love the Maglight/foregrip combo. Very retro 👌If you can get your hands on an Armalite free float rail for a Kyle Lamb era car15 that’d make for a great review!
I like! Maybe it's because I'm a dinosaur from the web belt and suspenders era, but I like gear that is easy to put on, like a vest. I also wonder about going prone and low-crawling with all that gear in front. What would be wonderful about this rig would be if the pouches were removable; I would consider taking the front/center pouches and either removing them or moving them to the side/underarm positions, moving the utility pouches around to the rear. If the pouches are fixed, well, put lighter, more compressible things in them.
I love the older commercial Woodland stuff, especially vests. That strong yellow color is on most of it, though
Can't wait to see Kommando Store bring these back once this gets traction.
oh man I went through basic in a LBE my first rig was the LBV in Woodland then the Rack system from Tactical Tailor in 2004
LT Dangle from Reno 911! Thats what you've been reminding me of!
Jesus Christ, Admin, you’re making my 27-year-old ass feel old. Born in ‘95 and thought you had me by at least a couple years.

that mag lite is the retro vibe we needed
I bought one brand new from their catalog when I was with the 3d Batt in like 98 or 99 and NEVER got to use it really, and hell when you packed that thing out and put over my RBA then throw on a ruck, forget it. And you really couldn't jump with them either plus we got the RACKs like a week before the thing actually got to me so I sold it to a buddy of mine that was in the 82d. Best purchase I never got to use. RLTW!

I love how u attach Fleshlight to ur CAR-15
Looks like an Eagle Industries Tac V1 in Blood Diamond. Hard to say for sure, since there were so many knockoffs (like BlackHawk), but that would have been Gucci kit at the time.
We should do a team viewing of Blood Diamond
Nice little cameo by those bluebonnets.
I went to Basic in 1996, and deployed with this LBV as part of my gear in 99. Old? Okay Similac-breath, challenge accepted.
TIL Managerial Outcomes and I are the same age. Wild.
That 1st "I don't have a 44mag" sounded an awful lot like a *hint hint, stomp stomp* type statment
The real question is, how many bags of Harbro gummi bears will fit in the largest pouch .
If you get the NFM BEAR vest, it would compliment your M98 camo (norwegian camo). Much the same setup, the newer one has molle and bungie cord in the back. Keeps it snugg to the body, yet room to breath.
Love it! But I’m a Milsurp Junkie. You’re right about the balance being front forward. But attaching a Camelback-type Water Container would help.

Admin if you like this sort of rig you might consider looking at the agilite hi vest, it is a little hard to get in the us tho.
I love the gear aspect of the channel Can you do some Army surplus? I love the vintage stuff. Thanks!
That blood diamond vest could of been a tactical tailor variant
I'm using a Blackhawk vest in my shooting videos ...You need a water pouch in back to counter the weight. and outer belt for pistol holster. If you don't velcro the mags closed you will loose them getting up from a prone position.
Not ahead of its time. Just a well designed and thought out piece of kit that served its purpose well. I still have mine that was issued nearly 25 years ago. It’s been through hell, but I would still trust it to hold up in an emergency situation.
I used a similar vest starting out in airsoft back in the mid 2000s before switching to a pattern 83 battle jacket. Both were comfortable all day even though they were cheaper knockoffs. Both completely still viable though dated style
Showing the chest hairs the secret ingredient for the Larp gun channels? (Loving the videos)

If you want the one from blood diamond I think it's the blackhawk omega elite or the blackhawk olden vest. I don't think it had the cross draw holster if so its the cross draw vest. I'm a old guy so I remember these.
I had one of those... But I traded it away for some other stuff (a good Garmin eTrex Summit, which at the time was a slick piece of civilian GPS tech... OUCH I feel old now) in Korea back in '03. I liked it, but but not as much as some other stuff that I got later because I always needed to carry a large ALICE pack with radio equipment. Those buckles on the back, for my body type, were just horrible when combined with the ALICE pack. Probably could have been solved wearing a flack vest, or IBA (which was ALL in Iraq that year), but hey, we were in Korea (and ever wear that flak vest with a Large ALICE with 80 or so pounds of radios going up muddy Korean hills... Hats off to the Cold War, 'Nam [and era] and Korean War vets that did it). Now a days, when I don't need an ALICE pack all the time... It would be nice to have a vest like to just grab and go, there were great advantages to vests without all the MOLLE on them!
Nostalgia...sweet nostalgia....
Lol. Havent seen one of these in a long time. It always looked to me like the ammericanised version of the british vests the SAS and other british units were running back in the days. Looks dope.
When are you gonna have Bureaucratic Conclusions and Supervisory Aftermath on the channel??

how did you (guys) keep making great channel names?
Lol, Delta may have been issued these, but my regular ass leg served with guys who had these. We were just phasing out of Alice to Molle, so the older guys would run assault vest over body armor. Sadly were issued the ACU variant.
one of the big Pros if you hook it to your belt is: You don´t get choked by your vest if someone drags you useing the handle at the back of the vest.
