DiGilio Posted September 2, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 2, 2009 Well, that isnt entirely correct. Along with no front lower pockets, the 1st patterns dont have the loop in collar to hang the vest and only one slot for a pen next to small upper left pocket. The pen slots also work very well with grenade spoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
