Here's my SAR vest, a Medical Trauma Vest manufactured by AWS, Inc., in Fayetteville, North Carolina.



It's a pretty decent vest being used on field training events and wilderness SAR missions/rescues for a couple of years. It's comfortable, easily adapts to bulky clothing by adjusting the draw strings, carries a fair amount of my essential SAR kit items in the pockets and "Made in the U.S.A." I wore it this past weekend during our two day wilderness survival and safety exercise. The large pocket flaps kept the contents dry even during the downpouring rains on Sat night into Sun morning.
