Hi Jim,

I thought I remembered something about that. Was this after the Bank of
America heist? Anyway, that stuff is horribly expensive!

Hehe... yeah, I haven't had my MULE that long but I do know that you want
max upper body mobility.

Gee, what do you mean by that? :-) Well, actually I don't have a US frag
vest at all and my wife just put me on a purchasing freeze. Hey, I can't
blame her after all the crap I bought this last month! So I'll save your
email and perhaps drop you a line sometime soon. Perhaps after the
pallet of rusting metal I just bought arrives!
Got a couple of Swiss, Bundeswehr, Bundesgrenzschutz (collectors item!),
and British vests lying around. I'd have more but even the frag vests
are kinda pricey. Passed up buying a Belgian vest. They are probably
the slickest thing I have ever seen, but $150 is a tad bit too much!
Sometimes I actually think before I buy :-)
Steve
