The entire top edge of the front panel has one long zippered pouch that includes internal pockets for administrative items. All pouches that are affixed to the vest feature Large grommets for drainage.
I bought this for my 15 motnh deployment to Iraq. As an infantryman in a stryker unit space is limited as this was just what I needed to carry mission essential items in a small amount of space. It held up through all the crap I put it through and the only wear has been a rip in the webbing on the back panel.
