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.
All depends on what kind of kit you want to sport For a old highspeed, low drag chest rig, nothing beats a chicom. And the M83 was revolutionary for its time, and is still used all around the world!
