The Special Operations Vest is based on our Helicopter Crew Vest with design features specific to the needs of Special Operations personnel. The vest is inflatable which is more comfortable to wear, has less bulk, and is easy to don. It has been designed to be comfortable while wearing a side arm and restraint straps in an aircraft cockpit. The flotation bladder is made of highly visible yellow fabric to facilitate sighting in the water.
