For teams that require 360-degree pouch attachment capability, the CAV can be upgraded by purchasing the optional outer cummerbund kit that includes an outer cummerbund with modular webbing and a split modular webbing platform required to secure the outer cummerbund to the vest while also providing the ability for left- or right-handed doffing.
Other accessories for the CAV include a ballistic collar and throat protector, ballistic shoulders, a pair of ballistic upper arm (bicep) protectors, and a standard ballistic groin protector or an enhanced, diamond-shaped groin protector for greater femoral artery protection.
