I've been looking into purchasing the TAC V1 MOLLE vest from Eagle Industries. It can be found here:

My question involves the color of the vest. I'm looking to purchase gear that is coyote tan like the military issue equipment. However, Eagle lists their vest as being sold in Khaki. Does anyone know how close their Khaki is to the military issue coyote tan? If it is a different shade, is it lighter or darker?

Thanks!

Khaki is the same Desert Tan used by the US Army. The USMC uses Coyote Brown, which is an entirely different color. Coyote Brown is quite a bit darker and more "earthy" than "sandy".
