IN Predator, the Combat vests were foreign military!, so most tactical vests (other than the earliest SWAT stuff) was Military. Alot of the weird stuff, was actually Rhodesian or South African load bearing vests. There were NOT tons of commercial designers of tactical gear in the 1980s (relative to the large amount today).
