Categories: , Tag:

The Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) is the replacement to the older Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) fielded by the U.S. Army. This vest has seen several revisions over the years based on real-world combat feedback. It is compatible with the ESAPI (Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert) and ESBI Side-SAPI plates, as well as the Interceptor body armor’s groin protector.

The IOTV has been the standard issued vest to all U.S. Army soldiers since 2006 and can be fully configured from a basic vest to a full-up system with groin protection, lower back protection, deltoid protection, and neck-throat protection.

*Available for Commercial Law Enforcement Sales, Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) 500 units
