U.S. Govt. Issue Load Bearing Vest LBV II
The Tactical Load Bearing Vest is part of the 'Individual Integrated Fighting System (IIFS) and designed to carry (6) 30-round magazines for the M16 style rife along with two frag grenade pockets that are great for smaller items. A now vintage and harder to find item the old Gen II style Load Bearing Vest is also commonly known as the LBV88, ITLBV or TLBV. It is very well-made and constructed of a 7oz Cordura nylon fabric printed in the woodland camouflage pattern.
The idea of the LBV is all these pockets; great to use for any outdoor activity with plenty of uses. Made for comfort and a snug fit, the shoulder straps are beefy 1/2-inch foam padding. The vest closes in front with two chest straps using plastic quick release buckles making it easy to take off. There is also webbing, and two D-Rings sewn to the back of the vest to be used as equipment attachment points making it compatible with ALICE gear. Easy to fit with an Adjustable chest and waist strap with quick-release buckles. A cool tactical LBE vest with lots of uses that will soon be gone.

Condition Guide
Surplus is real military gear and the exact conditions may vary. We grade used military surplus to give you options and offer a more clear description. Military gear was built well and used by soldiers proving its tested quality. We hope you find that it serves you well.
Grade 1: Like New out of the factory case or may have only minor signs of use or storage marks.
Grade 2: What we call normal surplus. The gear is fully usable and shows normal signs of use but has a lot of life left. Some items may have stains, writing, color fading, repairs, and or surface rust on them. We found that up to a small 1/4” hole does not repair well and do not affect the gears performance.
Grade 3: This gear can still be used but had a rougher life. They show heavier stains, have more repairs than normal or may still have a small tear, or something missing but fully usable as is. This is great as extra gear or as a great budget item.
