"Works great, customizable with plenty of storage. Offers great protection from bbs. Only cons are it's a little bulky and doesn't breathe very well.
by Will T. on 10/07/2023
"Great for large and small waists. Easily adjustable straps help with a better fit. My favorite chest rig for the money. Only cons are it is a little heavy loaded up with metal mags and a water bladder. Gets hot wearing it, but offers more protection for airsofting. Also works great with a battle belt underneath or conected.

"Awesome chest rig, feels like really nice quality, and like other reviews have mentioned friendly to bigger guys. 6'1 300lbs. But also has more room if it needs to be adjusted further. Ended up having to tighten the straps when I got it.
Fully recommend

"This is a great price for a chest rig. The entire thing is coupled with an admin pouch, three M4 pouches and two accessory pouches. The build quality is pretty decent, and it even has an included hydration carrier! (Doesn't come with a bladder) I would say this is one of the better cheaper alternatives to a rig that comes with this many pouches already. Has great camo selection, and holds up very nicely. Would recommend.

Pros:
Multiple pouches included, hydration carrier included, pretty good build quality.

Cons:
Shoulder straps are somewhat stiff, need to break in.

"I will say, I'm a really skinny dude: 158lbs and 6 feet tall and this seems like it's built for a bigger guy even when tightened down but I'm new to these rigs and I'm probably missing a strap that I can tighten further. It's got the hydration pack built in, doesn't feel bulky on me and I was able to mount my sling, camel pack, and all my mags, accessories without any issues. Definitely a good bang for the buck and shouldn't be overlooked.

"This chest rig appears to be nearly identical to those used in the film Lone Survivor. While not entirely identical to chest rigs used by Seal Team 10 in real life, it is very close to one worn by Mathew Axelson. it is based on the RRV.
The vest is sturdily constructed, I've had mine for about five years in 2019 and it shows very minimal signs of wear, mostly around the elastic components. It holds six STANAGs easily, although I recommend rearranging the MOLLE straps as the pouches are not securely attached from the factory and like to fall off if not attached properly. Unfortunately the side pouches (based on Eagle Industries' USMC canteen pouch) do not hold 1qt canteens, although there is plenty of room on the MOLLE panel if they are removed. I used the space for an IFAK and radio equipment. The hydration carrier does inhibit the lower strap from tightening completely but is easily removed.

"I've had this rig for about a year now, and have been through enough games with it to give a review for it: (Summary is at the bottom if you wouldn't like to read a paragraph lol)

It's a good rig for the money. Comes with a triple set of m4 double stack pouches, two accessory pouches, an admin pouch, and a hydration carrier, which are all removable. I don't find the material concerning at all, like other rigs I've used in the past, it's very well constructed. I'm 5'10 and 200 lbs, and it fits perfectly. It won't flop around if it's correctly adjusted, just in case anyone is worried about that happening. I did not like the amount of adjusting I personally had to do to make it fit just right though. But, it's very good once it's fully adjusted to your comfort. It does everything I'd need it to. MOLLE on it is definitely convenient. This is THE rig for new players because it's got everything you're gonna need to hold accessories and ammo in your first few matches. Then you can even move the pouches around if you want to, cause MOLLE lol. I've used this in both CQB and outdoor, it's good for both. It's a light enough rig to do that "rapid assault" style gameplay, and it's also good for any type of player really. It's a very breathable rig, in the back anyway. I do plan to attach bigger m4 pouches to fit a wider variety of different platforms, because these pouches that the rig come with are good, but are very tight if not using m4 mags. Each pouch can hold two m4 mags. Do not push them beyond that. Example: don't try to cram two mags any bigger than m4 mags in one pouch. Overall, if you're in the market for a durable, yet affordable rig, take a look into this one.

To sum it up:

Pros:
-Great material
-Great for beginners due to pouches it comes with. No need to buy more unless you want a different setup of course. Or a different gun platform other than an m4/m16
-MOLLE
-Doesn't flop around lol
-Lightweight for any play style
-All-Purpose: great for field or indoor gameplay

Cons:
-Pouches it comes with are good, wish they were a little bigger though. Or came with optional bigger pouches.
-Not very breathable in the front unless you find a way to tuck in admin pouch.
-It took me quite some time to adjust to my comfort. Not a big issue, it's not hard, just took a lot of time for me for some reason.

Overall, good for the money, I looked around for other rigs that were cheaper, but honestly this one might be the best for its price range. If you feel like you can afford a plate carrier that's $150, then go for it. I would if I could lol. But I like this more because it's lightweight, breathable overall, and not bulky like some plate carriers are. Get this if you want an affordable, durable chest rig.

"I received this chest rig a few days ago and so far I love it. The only con I could possibly give it is it has a ton of straps and takes a while to adjust for the first time. It is very comfortable though once adjusted. Love the hydration carrier on the back for long games in the heat and love that it can be taken off if not needed or wanted. I can easily fit 6 m4 mags in the pouches. Even my p mags fit well and they are kinda big. Depending on the size of your mag it may be really tight at first but give time for elastic to break in. Wish it included a dump pouch but there is plenty of room to add one if you want. Its a great product for a great price.
by Clint N. on 01/14/2016
"I have been using this chest rig for around a year now and must say it does everything i need it to. Although it did not come with a dump pouch like i wish it did, it had perfect space for one either on the side or back. The only thing that people must realize is that the two straps cross, which actually makes it tighter and more comfortable, however i was not aware of this when i bought it. so 10/10 for everything, just realize its not a classic plate carrier.
by David W. on 10/16/2015
"Looks and feels like a good quality addition to my stack. Rugged and very well stitched. I watched a youtube review on this and was tempted to get it. Found a great deal on Evike and the product was delivered right on time. Able to tuck the mag covers and double stack my PMags. I will drop the side bags and add my pistol mags as well as my IFAK. The fit is great. Minor adjustments and very stable. I will be recommending this one out. As far as a tactical plate carrier for a real battle it does lack but this is where we learn to adapt and overcome. Great for hunting Hogs and Yotes. Plenty of Molle to work with...

"i like this chest rig a lot. i took the back off it and left the straps so i could tighten it more. overall a good chest rig.
by Wade L. on 03/10/2015
"Just received this chest rig the other day, wouldn't necessarily wear it to a full length mil sim game but it seems like it would be good for a short pick up game.

Pros
fits me (i'm extremely skinny)
easy to adjust
plenty of molle
not too heavy (pro for me)

Cons
can be kind of uncomfortable if you have to cross the straps
hydration pouch tends to bounce against your back if you're skinny, but you can just take it off

all in all, a decent chest rig if you're planning on playing shorter (5-30 min) games but I would invest in a plate carrier if you plan on playing any longer than that
by Zach A. on 12/25/2014
"I really like this chest rig, it was a tiny bit too big on me just because I'm really thin , everything works great I recommend it
by John R. on 12/01/2020
"Overall this is a good deal, and I would recommend it.

Pros:
* The rig itself provides a lot of value for the price.
* The magazine pouches do fit a single ak74 magazine.
* The rig itself seems relatively sturdy.
* The pouches that it comes with work well.

Cons:
* Part of the rig was frayed out of the box, but nothing so severe that it can't be fixed with a flame or heatgun.

"I just received this rig it all around is great and very adjustable and comfortable however criticisms are that the straps can easily become a mess and there are so many that it can get con fusing but that’s not a big deal secondly the double stack mag pouches are slightly stiff/undersized and barely fit the second mag but they can be broken in if u force the mags in let them sit and wallah perfect
