VESTS/BODY ARMOR
Releasable Assault Vests (RAV)
★
The original Releasable Assault Vest can be
removed instantly via a patented single-point
release feature. Vest includes full Molle-style grid
webbing, sewn-on drag strap, integrated drink tube,
communication channels, zip-off back panel and
full modular system of add-on pouches and
accessories. Complies with NIJ Standard-0101.04,
2005 interim requirements when with armor.
• 10” x 12” rifle plate pockets
• Built-in side plate pockets for 6” X 6” hard plates
• Hook and loop closure for access to internal
armor plate pockets and soft armor package
• Military specification materials
• Ballistic performance exceeds outer tactical vest
fragmentation standards
In May 2006 tactical
commander Chris Joyner,
a private security contractor
assigned to the U.S.
Embassy in Baghdad, was
riding in an armored vehicle
when an IED nearly ended
his life. The powerful blast
almost rolled the five-ton
vehicle.
The explosion broke his
cheekbones and dislocated
his jaw. A spray of molten
copper and shrapnel destroyed his right eye and
lacerated his face and body.
★
Although dazed and
disoriented, he never lost
consciousness. When a
medic tried to cut open his
MSA Paraclete RAV, Joyner
stopped him.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” he
cried, “just pull the cord!”
Cutting the tough, 1000denier nylon could take 10
minutes—time Joyner
didn’t have. The medic
grabbed the emergency
cord and pulled. In
seconds, the fully loaded
vest separated into five
components and was
out of the way.
“It saved my life,” Joyner
said of the RAV’s patented
cutaway system. In fact, he
was told that the 10 minutes
saved by the quick release
of his MSA Paraclete vest
were truly the difference
between his life and his
death. In September 2006,
he visited the MSA Paraclete
plant in North Carolina to
thank those who made
these vests.

From: a 24 th Infantry Soldier in Iraq
I just wanted to write you and let you
know that your RAV vest saved my life
last week. I am up here in Mosul and
we got caught in an ambush. I was hit
with a 7.62.x54 bullet in the very top
part of my SAPI plate. The round went
through my arm, through 2 full mags,
and finally stopped in the final liner
of my SAPI.
The reason that I say it saved my life
is that because of the RAV design,
the SAPI plate does not sag and it is
always in the proper place. With the
interceptor, if you wear it incorrectly
or the hook and pile is worn, the SAPI
plate sags and does not cover all of
the "vitals". Your RAV does not sag
and it is impossible for it to be worn
incorrectly.
