The “bib” can be hidden into a pocket on the body that is secured by velcro so this vest can be worn like a chest rig. A piece of velcro loop has been placed over the hook side so this pocket is always open, likely for a pistol or a knife holster.
Padded Battle Belt:
This belt was likely used afterwards when he was a tactical instructor since a shot timer was found inside the large “dump pouch”.
