The Protec tactical duty vest has been developed to meet the needs of todays modern police force. Using a combination of lightweight breathable mesh and strong 1000D it offers the best of both worlds, long lasting toughness and lightweight comfort. The advantages of using a tactical vest over a traditional belt system are apparent the instant you put it on, taking your equipment from the belt, distributing the weight evenly across the body hugely reduces the strain on your lower back whilst out on patrol.
Due to huge demand this model is now produced with a chest mounted klickfast compatible dock for body worn CCTV and the addition of the Peter Jones detachable CS holder. This holder is now force issue and even mandatory in some UK police forces. Every Protec vest has been developed in the uk using valuable feedback from operational police officers and security staff, our ergonomic design ensures every piece of your equipment is right where you need it, when you need it most.

Really good, but let down by some minor annoyances
The good:
- Cuffs are secure and easy to draw
- Convenient glove pouch just below the cuffs
- Peter Jones CS/PAVA holders are fantastic and much easier to draw one-handed compared to the alternatives
- Loads of adjustment available for the baton pouch including a longer retaining flap which can be swapped out for the standard one
- Easy access to leg restraints
- 3 Klickfast compatible docks so you can have BWV, radio and another item such as a torch all chest mounted (these docks aren't actually Klickfast brand but seem just as well made)
- I got the blue police badges which are very reflective
- Zipped pockets have plenty of space
The bad:
- The retaining strap on the CS holder is made from what looks like rubberised plastic rather the (better imo) leather seen on other peter jones units
- Key clip loops are in awkward positions. The one on the right side is in the perfect place to foul the CS holder and cause issues with drawing and replacing. The one on the left side is difficult to reach with your right hand because the keys will be obstructed by the leg restraints. The right clip is not too much of an issue if you just keep your cuff key there as it will tuck into the handcuff pouch.
- The rear badge is sewn on unlike the front badge which is Velcro
- The epaulettes are not as shown in the picture, they are the style with the two horizontal loops, so users of slider epaulettes will need a blank "button style" epaulette as an adapter
- There are no dividers in the zipped pockets, so good luck if you keep pens in there
Overall, a good purchase. The issues in the "bad" section are more annoyances than anything else, and I would say the addition of the Peter Jones PAVA holder makes this the only sensible choice vest-wise aside from MOLLE.

Absolutely worth it
A brilliant tactical vest! Much better than standard issue kit. Would never go back to a belt again.
