Solution for dead space "Bear II vest"

A couple of "Contact Front" members came up with a solution to existing problem found on the Belgian issue "Bear II vest". The space in front of the zipper uses up 2 Molle channels. These channels could be used to put othet pouches like a flashlight pouch or even a triple magazine pouch. Nevertheless it still remains a zippered vest with the begative side that you can't put it on over your head like a CIRAS type plate carrier. You need to use the zipper toput in on.
It was a challenge to find a solution but we came up with a adapter in two parts which attaches on both sides of the zipper and when closed with velcro, overlaps the zipper.

I allready did some tests on the range and it seems that a full loaded triple magazien pouch (about 2,25kg) is a bit to heavy for the velcro. We are looking to solve this problem asap.
