No, they can't be opened and closed with one hand and theres no silencer on the velcro...unless the design has changed in the last year
Besides unless your an assault pioneer or operating largely out of a vehicle you don't need one.
Its a bit expensive for just doing guards in the glen."It is a general popular error to imagine that loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for it's welfare" Edmund Burke

If you want to buy private kit, get PLCE its cheaper than anything from protac or arktis and it will serve you better more often than a chest rig or assault vest."It is a general popular error to imagine that loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for it's welfare" Edmund Burke

Chest rigs are only suitable to certain operations. I on;ly use mine when I have to spend long times in vehicles as it means I have nothing between my back and the seat. It means I have to have a grab sack to hand to carry all those little home comforts. They are handy for short patrols also...but for guards eyc a second hand set of PLCE does the job nicely. Protacs rig is grossly over priced for what it is...shop around ...even with the sterling difference it may be worth your while importing.
Quantify assault vest versus webbing...Do you need a lot of ammunition capacity ..the you need the assault vest type....do you need minimal ammo storage ....equipment storage.....GPS...fist aid ...googles gloves etc.
As I said certain gear for certain jobs. Before you spend alot of cash...do you really need it or is it for show. Ithought my vest was a bit showy when I bought it but when I started to actually use it I found it was perfect for the task in hand....as did others when they saw how much kit I could have to hand with minimum inconvienence....Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

we have the allocated amount but most of it is secondhand and in a poor state of disrepair. hence why most people who are interested in taking the job seriously are buying webbing of their own.As usual the RDF have to make do with the cast offs off the PDF...insaying that most of my units rifles are brand new....so maybe things are changing .Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe
