Snaque -- get them to fix the cumberbund...
Damn I loved my RAV -- ended up having a custom cumberbund made up since the OEM on both my RAV's would sag bad. I ended up going to the CIRAS-M in '06 due to my stichbitch no longer being willing to do c-bund mod's.

What model do you have? the '05 model has snap keepers to stop the sagging and the '07 model has a front flap. No reported problems with either of those. You mus have an original model.

Yes both are earlier versions -- some buddies got the snap - and it cut off using the cumberbund for some applications

The '07 when back to the intial version with the drop flap which really closed off the c-bund as a storage holder.

Any thoughts to a more wrap around variant?
These are mods we had done to the 03-04 versions

So, what is the difference between the Paraclete RAV and The Diamond Back Tactical "Predator" vest?

[KevinB]

Other than the RAV is issued and the original, not much... I had my RAV side by side some guys Predators, and they seemed VERY similar.

I heard Denis Chalker was involved with the Original Design- Then he defected to go work with Diamond Back.

We have a new design that should be going in to T&E within the next month. It offers a lot more molle area and should support equipment well. Got some 7th Group guys that are going to put it to the test. Stand by.

Cool.

I could think of 2 more guys that would happily T&E one for you
Any Idea when they would in full production?
