This is a replica by Flyye Industries of the Allied Industries MBSS that is part of the FSBE II, As far as I can tell this is a direct copy of the AI version.
This is my favourite vest that I have.
The idea of this vest is that it is primarily a plate carrier, SAPI plates can be worn front and back and normally a PACA soft armour vest is worn underneath.
There is an internal velcro pouch that I believe is for holding smaller plates. I have put in Kipmat that I've cut into the shape of a SAPI plate, I do need to get a set of the copy plastic ones that will make the vest alot more rigid.
If there is one downside of the vest it's that it has very little Molle real estate as there are no sides the the vest, the reason behind this is that the MBSS vest is designed for Boarding Direct Action type missions where mobility is paramount, However most Force Recon Marines use a Molle War Belt and Drop leg platform to mount any other mission required pouches.
The Flyye logo is even a rip off of the Eagle Industries logo, which I thought was quite funny.
