      Looking at the breakdown video from Uniform History, their vest is more complicated than that. And I think the suspenders seen are closer to the ALICE pack straps.

    The lore of the Half Life series. All three protagonists of the first game had their own respective protective armor. Freeman with the HEV suit, Calhoun with his security guard vest, and Shepherd with the PCV armor. What mattered most was being protected against what they all saw happened that day at Black Mesa. Nostalgia. 👌😎

      The HEV is not even made for combat, and also it does have a helmet as you can see dead scientist wearing it on xen, the only reason why gordon doesn't wear a helmet because its was intentional by valve so you can see his i.e. the box art

      Both are good for their users. The HEV is good for Black Mesa since it's a full body suit and it probably has full nuclear, biological, and chemical protection while also probably amplifying a less physically capable scientist's strength and the PCV is good for the HECU because it's lighter, more easily removable, and probably a lot more mass-producible.
