Are external vests an option for you, @BehindBlueI's?

I and others have had great luck with cornstarch baby powder. Supposed to be nine times more absorbent than mineral based talc, and with no allergy issues.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I work down in south Louisiana so y’all can all image how hot it is here. I’ve been been wearing an Academy brand (BCG) loose fit tech shirt under my armor. We have to wear our armor under our uniform shirts, and our uniforms are polyester and dark blue. It’s not comfortable at all in the summer.
Has anyone tried the inserts that go under the armor that allows air to flow through?
I resemble that statement.
At least more than I like to admit.
As others have mentioned, it fits your vest exactly the same as under your shirt. It's just an over-shirt. It's a great benefit for those of us in middle age. The ability to pop it off when report writing is worth it, alone. I'm going to explore attaching some of the items on my vest, like my radio, to it to get some weight off my belt. A couple buddies of mine have nothing on their belts except pistol and taser.
I've recently tried wearing "tactical" suspenders under my vest carrier to take some of the weight off. It works pretty well, and guys who have sciatica have mentioned it really helps.
Ours aren't the "tac vest" kind, they are vests that look like the uniform. You still have to wear all your stuff on your belt.
I did find a Under Armor Heat Gear shirt on clearance at Marshall's and wore it today with a liberal coating of Gold Bond. No itching, so that was a plus.
