Pro Defense has a good selection of 5.11 gear.

Cabelas (not withstanding what you said about mail order) has the photgraphers/safari vest which tends to be a good "summer" idpa / concealed carry vest as it is lighter than the 5.11 stuff.

Donna Vandermolen (CompVest on this forum) makes a custom vest for IDPA that alot of the guys around here use and that would probably be the best fit of them all, as I believe she can tailor it to your measurements.

FWIW: they have the 5.11 camo vest on closeout for @ $16.99 (desert camo only) at http://www.lapolicegear.com look in the "closeouts" section.

Hope that helps,

Dave
