Also provided are two rings located on the front of the vest, between the lobes of the protective
container. These rings are meant to provide a suitable attachment point for reducing the
hanging weight of mask/helmet-mounted equipment (i.e. chemical protective canisters)
relieving stress to the neck.
The vest is donned and secured at the front with a large black nylon entry zipper and a waist
buckle. A snap tab is provided at the top, to retain the zipper slider tab and, to ensure that the
zipper remains secured in windblasts. The waist belt and side adjustment straps provide
adjustment.
A series of life preserver attachment loops, constructed of loops of sage green, fire retardant
Nomex
®
cord, are sewn into a folded nylon tape strip, which is secured down the front left and
front right chest area, and across the upper back, below the neck. These loops provide a
means for attachment of the life preserver protective container.
