All are issued kit and tough as nails, will most likely cost you less then 100$.
Meh. As an owner of a Vietnam Era CPLA SKS Chest Rig, I can say that even though it's awesome just because it's PLA Surplus, it's not that 'modifiable'.

Static pouches, barely any adjustment in the straps, not to mention an unconventional and, frankly, quite uncomfortable way of wearing it don't really make it a very good vest to begin with. The fabric is really sturdy, but with bamboo buttons and needing to tie two straps behind your back to put it on, I can't see it being practical in a modern field.

The other two are decce, but more modern stuff is better, IMHO.
