Some of you may know that I had recently sold off my Guarder SOG CQB vest in order to buy something a little different. Don't get me wrong, the Guarder vest was an amazing item and I would have gladly held on to it if I didn't have gear cravings again. (I tend to get those a lot 
)
After selling off the Guarder SOG I decided to either purchase a SOTECH Hellcat or a Tactical Tailor MAV. Both vests being modular offered excatly what I was after, but in the end I spotted an auction on ebay and won the TT MAV.
TT MAV information from http://www.lightfighter.com:
Just received the TT MAV in the mail today and so far I'm loving it. It's light, tough and the freedom of movement I have while wearing it is a BIG plus. While I did love my Guarder SOG vest, there were times where it all felt very restricting. (Then again I did carry everything but the kitchen sink on that thing) I haven't worn the TT MAV enough to post an extensive review of it, but right now the future looks bright.
I'll post more comments on the vest after some skirmish use.
For now, here are some pics:
*magazine flaps can be tucked into pouches then mags cinched tight
*closeup of cinched mag pouch
*Aww Jeah!
I'll post more pics tomorrow.

Tactical Tailor 2-Piece MAV
List Price: $175.00
The Tactical Tailor 2-Piece Modular Assault Vest is a complete chest mounted assault system. This vest comes complete with one PALS webbing lined vest body that has two fastex buckles in the center, two double magazine pockets for M4 mags, two triple magazine pockets for M4 mags, two large utility pockets, and two small utility pockets. Each of the pockets attaches with the included MALICE clips that weave through the PALS webbing to ensure a snug fit that will never sag, bounce, or fail due to corrosion or heavy use. Each pouch closes with Velcro and Fastex buckles, and the magazine pockets are cinched tight with elastic bands to prevent your magazines from rattling or falling out.
The unique design of the MAV allows you to mix and match the location of your pouches to meet your mission requirements or your personal preference. The MALICE clips and PALS webbing allow you to add and subtract the pouches and change their locations as many times as necessary. With each new mission you can reconfigure your gear to always be just what you need.
The Modular Assault Vest is constructed entirely of 1000 denier Cordura nylon for ruggedness and features heavy duty stitching and hardware throughout.
