Well, everyone, here's the announcement.
Practical Tactical is proud to offer the PT-03 MESA Assault Vest, a MOLLE-based version of the South African P-83 vest. The MESA will be manufactured by High Speed Gear, Inc., exclusively for Practical Tactical and we're starting production within the next few days.
The Introductory price for the vest is only $145.00, twenty dollars off the regular price of $165.00. Delivery is expected in 6-8 weeks, but might be slightly longer as the first dozen or so units are already spoken for.

The image on the site is the final prototype. There are very minor changes from that and the production model. The elastic will be OD on the Khaki and OD vests (instead of tan), and some other minor strap attachment adjustments to make...nothing noticeable from the photos, really.
Plenty of pictures on the site, including some of the vest loaded out and in the field and photos with a variety of camouflage patterns.

We will be producing pouches in the near future, but any MOLLE-compatible pouch from BHI, SDS, Paraclete, SOE, Eagle, etc., will work. In the meantime, I have plenty of BHI STRIKE pouches in both Olive Drab and Coyote available.
Thanks to those who provided suggestions and were part of the focus group. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Finally, for the first 15 people who pre-pay, I will include a Camelbak Storm hydration unit for an additional $25.00, a savings of nearly 35% off the MSRP and $10.00 below Practical Tactical's normal price.
This offer will be made on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the order in which I receive your email and/or phone call. This message is being posted to forums at as close to the same time as possible. Not responsible for lost emails, etc.
