Swedish M90 Vest

[FALx2]

A guy in Sweden has a friend that is making these vests:

Check them out and leave feedback on what you think of the design. I thought it could incorporate a hydration system, dump magazine pouch, and plate carrier.

Nice looking gear.

Yeah, it is. Thanks for posting the picture. The stuff is also available with m/90 camouflage pattern pouches. I have a complete set of BDUs and they are well made and comfortable, with padded elbows built into the jackets.

Yeah, looks like good stuff.
I like that camo pattern too.
Where did you get your set of BDU's?

Here’s a picture I got a few months ago.

Looks like they don’t mess around, doggie and at least two machine guns.

That's a beautiful Shephard! The guns are ok. Nice pup!

I'll take their accessories including the Shepherd:) Kinda funny, because their camo blends in well while the dog and weapons stand out imediately. Maybe they need to make a camo vest for 4 legged partner?;)

The stuff Recon sells is not Swedish issue....

They do make the m/2000 combat wests for the military but they are not allowed to sell it to civilians....

Here is the real deal btw....

Best,
Anders

Oh yeah, civilians can't be trusted... I think they're just teasing us, to get the price up, what with bad Euro-Dollar conv'n rates and all... ;)

OK, OK, SO HOW MANY KRONERS, my Scandanavian friends? Lay it on us.

Hi Anders, your load bearing vest is very much like a modified British P-58 LB system, especially the kidney pouches. I like it. In case you are using a .308 caliber rifle, you can easily switch the mag pouches.

I guess the gas mask( respirator) is carried aroung the leg.

Probaply speaking out of my Ar**, but vest would cost about 2000 Kroner or $200 or so

Also I think M/2000 is more like Molle stuff, being modular and all

And if I´m not guessing wrong Anders has his stuff because he is part of the Heimvärnet ie. Nationalguard

They need to paint that dog green. Compared to the team the dog sticks out like a sore thumb.
