Hi guys. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what sort of chest protection is being worn in this video --> http://www.overlay.tv/overlay/1524 (it's an interview of Prince Harry).

I'm putting together a video listing the sorts of equipment i can see in the video of him in Afghanistan. I've been learning a bit as I go and it's interesting, but I can't find the answer for this one. I think it is called Osprey but can't find a good enough picture.

Thanks if you can help me out!

Here's a link that provides this info. along with other information about his assignment.

The Prince’s combat gear

FRONT

Pistol Browning 9mm automatic, magazine holds 13 rounds

Notebook Sandproof and waterproof. For taking down grid references and notes from briefings

Torch Lightweight. For reading maps and battle orders by night

BACK

Body armour Osprey vest protects from bullets and shrapnel

Badge Eagle crest presented to Harry by Estonian troops

Kukri knife Parting gift from Gurkhas when he left a forward operation base

Its almost too bad that we know so much about him. Like any man in harms way, I am not sure if I want so much detail about my armor and stuff in the paper etc.
