I'm a big MGS fan and am trying to put together a simple pistol loadout using this: www.k1bond007.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-k1bond007/SolidSnake.jpg , vest that Snake is wearing. So far I've come across a few that are similar....but not quite the same...  There is a new version of the Ciras vest used in MGS4 that I've found on Evike.com, so I'm assuming that the load-outs used in the games are realistic enough to have been based on the real deal. Any help is awesome! |

It's not a vest, it's a one-piece suit (called a sneaking suit in the game) with suspenders, belt, and thigh rig setup.

In MGS4, Old Snake is wearing an RRV. Like you said, they sell the same vest setup, complete with pouches on a few sites.

I know in the game its called a sneaking suit, just wondered if there were individual parts that were similar in function to the vest part.
I'm looking for something that can hang the mags at an angle like in the picture, basically.

That would be load bearing suspenders, belt, and thigh rigs... again. Those mags are actually attached to the suspenders in a manner that would be similar to MOLLE.

While it does appear that there is some kind of suspenders, it also looks like the greenish part is part of that. That said, you won't find exactly that in the real world.
Look into an older LBV/LBE vest and you should get the mags at an angle.

Hmm.... so either a custom job or some kind of suspender get-up. Seems like it could be done relatively easy with some time and effort, and maybe a tailor I wish there was a way to get a one piece like that, but I'm sure it would be attached to a LARGE price tag anyways. |

It's really not all that different than a neoprene diving suit with a few mods.

That's not a bad point. Might actually be worth putting together just for the nostalgia aspect of it.....even if it might turn out kinda lame :-P

Yeah... Have fun running around in 90 degree heat with a full body suit of neoprene on.

I'd hope somebody would make fun of me for that ridiculousness. You're probably a good candidate for the job, Troub

Not too shabby. Post up some pics if you have them and you should bring it out to an event one of these days so Troub can make fun of both of us! ... Even though I decided against the portable sauna of a suit  However, I just picked up the "Metal Gear Ciras" vest on evike.com. I think I'll try a MGS4 load-out this time around. Seems like it should turn out pretty decent. |
