Due to their age and unissued condition the nylon may feel slightly "sticky" inside the pouches but this will decrease with usage.
These vests are New/Unissued but have been sitting in storage for 20 years. Due to the prolonged time in storage, the PU coating on the nylon may be sticky, or starting to degrade (the severity varies from vest to vest). This does not affect the structural integrity of the vest in any way. There are various methods for stopping the stickiness, cleaning the fabric, or reapplying a new coating to the material. Please do your own research.
