I have a Marciras vest that I picked up from Dema a while back. I just won a custom vest on Facebook and wanted to see how much the one I have is worth. It's an OD Green MarCIRAS (Maritime Combat Integrated Releasable Armor System) vest.
In laymans terms, it a vest that has a pull tab up front that is attached to a cable which is fed to the back of the vest were everything is put together. Pull the tab and the whole vest falls off in pieces. It is very adjustable, from all the way down to it fit's my bean pole 15yr old daughter, to it fits me at 6" 280lbs. Vest would come as shown, minus the pistol mag pouches and the shotgun shell holders. I currently use this vest for 3gun and Defensive Carbine Club matches.
If you wanted, this vest will hold real or fake plates. I use it with real plates but will be keeping them. It will hold up to 10" x 12" large plates.
Here is the front of the vest:
Here is the back:
And the inside which has very breathable mesh:
Here are some pouches that would also come with it, but are not on the vest at the moment:
They are:
1. Internal comberbund. I didn't use it
2. Medical or general purpose pouch.
3. Radio Pouch
4. Double M4 pouch. Will hold 4 mags
5&6. RAP4 pod pouches (DPM)
7. Valken VTAC verticle tank pouch (Woodland)
For disclosure: The 2 RAP4 pouches used to be a 4 pod pouch. Dema seperated it and hand sowed them into 2 doubles.
So what would be the value of this setup?
