GearZoneProducts is your best bet for new stuff, but RAVs are $600+ new, without armor.

Grey Group should still have them as well as Op-Tac.

FWIW I think you want the pre-05 version (before they started adding snaps to combat cummerbund sag).

You are limited to eBay and forums...the model was completely replaced by the 05.

You might check your reference pictures though to make sure I am not talking out of my a$$ :D

EDIT: I just checked and didnt see a single 05, however in the pic of the SFSG guys standing in front of the USAF plane one of the guys has an 07 model.

Also not saying that they dont use 05..just that I havent seen any photos of it in use.

OPTactical has the Paraclete RBAV 05, but only in Medium, and only in Multicam. Its clearancing out to boot, and even at clearance its $530. Sorry, mate.

Nasty wrote:Does anyone know if there are any retailers left that still sell the Paraclete RAV, specifically the '05 and '07 versions in sage green. I want to make a UK SOF kit, but thus far I haven't been able to find anywhere that still sells the vest.

I suspect that they might be rare now as they might not be produced anymore, but it's worth a shot asking on here. Any help would be appreciated.


Cheers.
