Cut away vest with multiple release modes

摘要

A cut away vest featuring a first panel connected at a bottom portion to a rear or second panel by a belt. The belt engages the front panel at first ends and engages an attachment point on the rear or second panel at two second ends. A pair of shoulder straps communicate between the first and second panels. A first flexible member such as a cable is translatable to release the second ends of the belt from the second panel. A, second cable may be translated to release the shoulder straps sequentially from the first panel. The cables may be translated concurrently when engaged to a single handle or independently when having two separate handles.
