    SSD,

    I like the historical note about what the armor was named after… please keep doing this! There’s such a strong tendency with military gear and other military things to reference gear/units/operations of the past; I love learning all those little tidbits!

    Also, this post reminded me of a quite enjoyable WWII thriller featuring a Hornet Moth.. which is pretty much a Tiger Moth with an enclosed cockpit.

    Really like the adjustable size/retention on the pouches, looks simple but effective.
