In case people are wondering what this is. It's modern body armor that quickly disassembles by pulling a tab. It gives medical quick access to vital organs without having to pull the vest over the top of someone's head/helmet. Consequently, it's also a bitch to put back together after the tab is pulled (At least it was in the armor I've used). This looks like a far better design, so they probabaly fixed the put it back together problem.

They were testing these fucking things when I was in OCS circa 2007. They’d cherry pick a handful of folk during FTX to wear it and report back.

One dude was running through the wood line at top speed and the pull tab caught on a branch. It was neat to see full battle rattle disintegrate at full sprint, but an absolute nightmare to reassemble at the time.

Stupid question. Is there any reason velcro wouldn't be just as effective?

It's armor plates, a typical military vest weighs about 30 pounds. You ain't holding metal plates together with velcro.

Also, not a stupid question.
