Does anyone make anything like this or produce anything like this?

Eagle Industries made a vest they called the Sniper Vest (TAC-SVD) It was a modular type vest with four front panels that you could move around. I don't know if it's still being made. You should be able to check on they're site. I believe BlackHawk makes a sniper vest as well.
Don't know about Berengers (Beckett's) vest in the movie but would be curious to find out.
Hope this helps,
Don
Hi kodiakrush;
The vest used in Sniper is a one off made to order for Trigger50, he leased it and the g suit to the movie crew. The vest is a modified aircrewman's.
Vests my look hi speed but they are not flexible you live with what the designer sews on. This is one of the reasons you see so many of the things, LBE is much more flexible allowing you to change out pouches and place where you want them. A vest also places most items on the chest where they scoop up debris and crud when you crawl. Those that are modular are a little better but still scoop up junk, and the attachment methods vary from P Poor to mediocre.Most are better suited to urban SWAT use and CQB where you are moving and upright.
Take care...Jim

I know about that no one produces that confuguration but would anyone custume one for you?
Give the Tactical Tailor a call they may sew one up for you.
Take care...Jim

Does anyone have a picture of it?
Also was made on the old style aircrewman's vest not the current. The new one is solid not mesh.
