First order accessory...what is it?

[Andrewdaandroid]

 

I was watching The force awakens as I was working on my armor and i noticed a few of these guys in the first scene. They are wearing something strapped to the front of their armor with a harness in the back. it looks like it covers over the whole front with the either a different and separate armor over the original or extra pouches like a molle vest of sorts. I tried looking it up trying to find another reference for it but i cant find it.. I  am just curious about it, but does anyone know what it is and have a better picture of it?
