First I'd read Ken Hackathorn on the topic in the IDPA journal.
First I'd read Ken Hackathorn on the topic in the IDPA journal. One strong suggestion is that a convenient dump pouch matters. He discusses brands and models and prices - things may have changed since the particular columns I have in mind but it is a perrenial topic.
Myself I bought half a dozen 5-11 vests in a discontinued pattern from LA Police Gear but all of the usual suspects sell vests that can be used. Filson is probably the most expensive vest I have and likely not what most folks would call reasonable - I wouldn't myself; it was a present.
