Abstract: A hanger for supporting and drying a flak vest, the hanger including an upper support, a lower support, and a vertical support connected therebetween. The upper support includes a cross-member portion and a hook portion extending upwardly therefrom. The vertical support includes an upper end connected to the cross-member, opposite the hook portion. The vertical support extends downwardly to an adjustable collar portion, and further downwardly terminating in a lower end. The lower end of the vertical support couples to the lower support at a base portion thereof. Retainers extend upwardly from the base portion on opposite sides of the vertical support so as to define retaining channels between the retainers and vertical support.
