I love the concept of a load bearing vest with MOLLE pouches all over so I can customize a solution that maximizes mobility and suits my exact needs. Unfortunately one of the things I need is for my gear to be compatible with my volunteer work with a local SAR group. I'm lucky that most of my hiking gear fits the bill. Unfortunately anything tactical either comes in camo or desert, or black...police blue if you're lucky.

I recently learned about the RACK vest from Specialty Defense Systems. It would be perfect as it would allow me to wear a proper backpack at the same time as a customized yellow vest.

Does anybody know where you can buy MOLLE compatible gear which is made in 'safe' colors like orange, red, or (preferably) yellow? The only option I can think of is to go to Drop Zone Tactical as they make their gear right here in Edmonton...unfortunately that kind of quality is out of my price range...especially for a custom order.
