ABSTRACT:
A load bearing vest for use by military and police personnel includes a right front panel, a left front panel and a rear panel, each being formed of a durable, abrasion resistant material. Right and left shoulder straps, also formed of durable abrasion resistant material, connect an upper portion of the rear panel with upper portions of the right front panel and left front panel respectively. Expandable right and left side panels formed of elastic material with a high strain capacity, connect the rear panel with the right front panel and the left front panel respectively below the shoulder strap to define right and left arm openings respectively therebetween. The side panels extend downward to the end of the front and rear panels. An expandable front closure connects the right front panel with the left front panel. A floating center panel is connected to the front closure in such a manner that the front closure remains elastically expandable independent of the floating panel.
