CMU-33 vest
I had a similar LBV and it didn’t take me long to sell it and build a Tactical Tailor chest rig with a 2 piece MAV. The MAV or 2 piece MAV give your more than enough room without having my upper torso covered in PALs webbing. I found my TT a little more cool AKA comfortable to wear than my old ACU LBV. If you want something you can open the 2 piece MAV gives you that. My chest rigs are also easier to put on and take off over my plate carrier than the LBV was.
I think I ended up using mine as a fishing vest for a while before I ended up selling it.
I’d ask the same question LSHD asked - why are chest rigs (Tactical Tailor, Velocity, Beez etc.) not doing for you what this LBV supposedly does? And I’ll make one additional comment:
Like a rail on an AR, just because you have room doesn’t mean you need to hang “accoutrements” off of it. ::
There’s a reason chest rigs have evolved from LBV’s into lightweight kit like BFG’s Ten Speed rig and rigs from the manufacturers I’ve mentioned. (And there’s more.)
LBV for a Fishing vest? Sure. Fighting rig? Pass.
Not sure where you are with your gear and whatnot, but here’s a damn good read specific to chest rigs by one of our SME’s. It’s where I started and definitely led me down the right path.
