Has anyone ever noticed the variations between the mens AP vests?

I purchased one from an Oakley rep who said it was a early production run, the other was purchased at a Vault.

I was surprised to see how much they varied (after sitting on both of them for a few years)

Yes, there are several differences between the originals and the second release (2007-ish?). I did a whole set of pics years ago, but they're probably long gone by now. The most visible differences are the chest Velcro badge (or lack thereof) and the hardware (silver and heavier on the original run vs. grey and lighter on the 2nd run). Obviously there's more, but those are the ones that always stick in my mind.

Love the vests. Still can't believe I missed out on them.

I'm surprised on how much the early model varied from the final production model.

In the documentation Dann linked to it refers to a shock cord in the rear, that cord is not present on the prototype I got from the rep.
