Modular Search and Rescue Equipment Vest
Helikon-Tex® SAR Vest
A lightweight, breathable and highly modular equipment vest developed for search-and-rescue personnel, medical responders, first responders and emergency-support teams. Its mesh construction is extensively covered with MOLLE/PALS webbing, allowing medical, communications and mission equipment to be positioned according to the requirements of the operation. Large reflective elements improve responder visibility in darkness and poor weather conditions.
Full MOLLE/PALS Modularity
Allows medical pouches, radio equipment and mission-specific accessories to be positioned around the vest.
High-Visibility Elements
Reflective panels on the front and rear help improve recognition in darkness, rain, fog and low-visibility environments.
Rear Evacuation Handle
A reinforced rear handle provides an emergency point for assisting or extracting the wearer from a hazardous area.

Built Around the Responder’s Equipment
Rescue teams require rapid access to medical supplies, communication devices, identification equipment and essential tools. The SAR Vest uses a broad MOLLE/PALS surface so that the layout can be adapted to the individual responder, assignment or organizational protocol.
The lightweight polyester mesh forms the structural base of the vest. This open construction improves ventilation while helping distribute mounted equipment around the upper body.
Adjustable shoulder sections and side straps accommodate different body types, uniforms and seasonal clothing layers. The vest is offered in two broad size ranges to simplify organizational procurement and team outfitting.
Configurable Medical Loadout Arrange first-aid supplies, trauma equipment and administrative pouches according to the mission.
Balanced Equipment Distribution Front, side and rear mounting areas help distribute equipment across the vest instead of concentrating it in one bag.
Layer-Compatible Fit Adjustable shoulders and side straps accommodate uniforms, protective clothing and cold-weather layers.
Professional Hardware YKK® zippers and Woojin components support dependable professional use.
Operational Features
Reflective Front and Rear Panels
Large reflective areas help personnel remain identifiable when operating around roads, vehicles, forests or disaster zones.
Emergency Extraction Handle
The rear transport handle can assist teammates with emergency movement of the wearer when immediate extraction is necessary.
Medical Tape Attachment
A dedicated front attachment point allows a roll of medical tape to remain visible and quickly accessible.
Dual Access Zippers
Two long front zippers positioned beside the main closure provide access to clothing or pockets worn beneath the vest.
Adjustable Shoulders
Hook-and-loop shoulder adjustment helps regulate vest height and accommodate different upper-body proportions.
Adjustable Side Straps
Side adjustment provides a secure fit over light uniforms, outerwear or additional protective clothing.
Direct Access Without Removing the Vest
The central zipper provides conventional entry and removal. Two additional vertical zippers on the front allow the wearer to access selected pockets or clothing layers positioned beneath the SAR Vest.
- Central full-length front closure
- Two additional vertical access zippers
- Access to compatible uniform pockets beneath the vest
- Reduced need to remove mounted equipment
- Useful during extended rescue deployments
- Supports layered cold-weather clothing
Equipment placement should be tested before operational use to ensure that mounted pouches do not interfere with the access zippers, main closure or evacuation handle.
