The combined harness was originally developed by Survival Inc. as the Joint Services Aircrew Vest and Extraction System™ (JSAVES) for US Air Force helicopter pilots and crew. Some additional features and add on modules were added for civilian Special Ops needs. Comes with front attachment points which can be connected with a locking carabiner for extraction or rappel applications. A rear dorsal D ring is provided for helicopter spotter or gunner lanyard attachment or SPIE Lanyard attachment (Yates item 364-NFPA). There are also two rappel loops at waist level for use in helicopters that do not have skids for the operator to stand on. These loops can also be used to attach a gear bag during rappelling, hoisting or short-haul operations. Features quick connect / release Cobra buckles, leg loops that can be stowed in the concealed front pockets located on the bottom of the vest, and molded rubber drag handle on the sternum. Available in two sizes, small (24-36” waist) and standard (28-46” waist).
