Those little net pockets should have little gel bags in them. The gel was frozen and then the bags were slipped into the net compartments. You also got issued a collared T shirt with zip neck to go with it. I would say 99% of the gel packs were dumped because when they had thawed out, they would start to hear up and make things worse. I think I still have the shirt somewhere.

Thanks for the info. As my interest in collection pretty much ends at 1991 I wasnt exactly sure what this vest was and in the past have only ever seen the covers sold,when I saw this complete I couldnt resist. Somebody has mentioned Kestrel? or something but all I have seen doing a quick Google search have a suede patch to one of the shoulders??
