Load bearing vests have proven to be an efficient method of carrying your basic gear and have been used for years as aircrew survival vests and SWAT team assault vests. Designed by Robert Rutter for the SAR Outfitter, the SAR Outfitter Utility Vest offers extremely efficient gear organization and storage for any SAR mission. The vest is designed to carry essential equipment where it is both comfortable and easily accessible. It is an excellent platform for mounted searchers, on a ATV, mountain bike, or equestrian and its popularity with disaster K9 handlers is growing rapidly. Fully adjustable, one-size-fits-all design. After ten years in development and field-testing, the SAR Outfitter Utility Vest is in use by hundreds of SAR and EMS professionals including FEMA team K9 handlers. Now manufactured by CMC Rescue, the design has been optimized and the vest is destined to become even more popular.
