he one that does all three is the new personal
flotation vest. It comes in two sizes. NSN 4220-01-
454-6135 brings a small/medium and NSN 4220-01-
454-6136 brings a large/X-large.
The vest weighs 3 lbs and can be put on over
the Kevlar vest and load-bearing equipment.
Maintenance
Hose the vest down with fresh water after use, especially if it has been
exposed to salt water. Never use soap, detergent, or any chemicals like dry
cleaning solvent to clean it. Salt water and cleaners can damage the fabric.
Air dry the vest completely before storing it. This reduces the growth of mold
or fungus. Never put it in a dryer. Heat will shorten the vest’s life.
