This video reviews the Spec-Ops Over-Armor Vest (OAV), also referred to as the "Zip-On LBE" by Nutnfancy. The reviewer highlights its excellent Multicam coloration, lightweight design, and expansive MOLLE platform. Key features praised include high-quality MOLLE webbing (Grid Lock system), a clean adjustment system, uncluttered weapon shoulders, a robust YKK zipper, velcro patch areas, and durable 1000 denier Cordura. The reviewer found the vest comfortable and durable, performing well in desert environments. Suggestions for improvement include mesh pockets on the shoulders for side-draw pistol mounting and a back mesh pocket for hydration and body armor, which would also aid in load balancing and ventilation. The reviewer notes its popularity with troops and the advantage of separating IBA from loadouts, allowing quick donning. While acknowledging potential breathability issues in hot climates and the higher price point (around $170, with a desire for a $90-$100 range), the reviewer ultimately deems it a winner and a permanent part of their loadout options, rating it an 8/10 as is and a potential 9/10 with suggested improvements.
