GoneGone Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Is there any preference for being allowed to wear a black flack vest? I am sure I have seen clicks and photo's showing personal from ROTJ wearing under there armor
Scavenger Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The flak vest is black....are you asking if you can wear something besides black?
GoneGone Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 No matey I'm asking if wearing the flack vest is allowed? I see a lot of BS costumers not wearing a flack vest when at events but seeing screen shots from ROTJ and scouts wearing it
Retrofire Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Yes the vest is allowed and it is required per the Biker Scout CRL. Some scouts will forego wearing it at some events due to extreme heat or other environmental issues but it is a required piece of the costume and should be worn while in character. Hope that helps and have a great day! Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk 1
BikerScout007 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The flak vest is required for basic approval and to be worn at certain events. For instance, anything related to LFL. But as was stated above, some people remove theirs in extreme heat because removing the extra layer sometimes makes all the difference. I've marched in 100 degree heat with the vest on and I've been okay though. 3
GoneGone Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Many thanks for that advice guys, its always helpful to ask when unsure. 2

Griffin-X Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 The flak vest became a requirement in Nov 2011, along with the suede patches, butt flap, and elastic bands on the thighs. Prior to that, they were not required. You may be seeing scouts that were approved in early 2011 or prior to the CRL and basic approval requirement updates. Personally, wear all the right gear or you don't look the part. It'd be like Boba without his vest, no Bueno! 1
