Matrix Special Force Cross Draw Tactical Vest w/ Built In Holster & Mag Pouches (Color: Desert)

"Pros:
*Looks awesome
*Fits my Ak mags
*Includes 2 extra mag pouches (at least mine did)
*Fits my pistol

Cons:
*Once I opened my box containing my vest I noticed a very strong odor coming from the sniper shoulder. It smells exactly like a sharpy and it has not gone away. :(

"the vest itself is great the only con is the MARPAT isn't the best. my only other complaint it the zipper dosent last that long.

"Upper pouches fit 40mm and flash grenades perfect.
Holds two mags per pouch with little trouble once its broken in. I use paracord mag-pulls to make it easier to pull from the pouch. The radio pouch is too small for the larger size FRS radios. Plenty of room for adjustment.
Camo matches standard military woodland BDUs.
I think it is a good vest for the field missions but is too bulky for CQB.

"okay, im about 6 foot and 270 and this vest fits me with room to spare. for smaller guys i wouldnt recommend it because it will be to big and baggy. if you have a little girth like myself it will fit perfectly. for 40 dollars you cant go wrong. the thing i like most about it is the options. you can have up to 6 m4/m16 style mag pouches that fit two each (thats 12 mags) or 4 m4 mag pouches and the cross draw holster. also it comes with extra pistol mag pouches that can be attached to the belt. you can add dump pouches ect. to the belt and or whatever else you want. the back molly style but im not sure if it is molly compatible. the ID pouch is pretty large, you could fit wallets, batteries extra bb's and what not. the radio/phone pouch is pretty useful in woodland games and the adjustment straps are VERY adjustable. the black looks very sharp as well.

now for the things i dont like.....
the belt is a pain to adjust. the vest is settles a little higher than i like it too but if your below 6 foot or just not a complainer like me there will be no issue with that. the pistol holster sags off the vest because i have a heavy pistol. its kinda annoying.

pros.
options, lots of em
40$
good looking
fits good for bigger guys like myself
lots of color options

cons
pistol holster kinda sags
fits on tall guys a little to high up
belt is a pain to adjust

this vest is also used in a lot of movies and TV shows such as flashpoint.


p.s. if your above 300 lbs i would suggest getting this but replacing the belt with something else because the belt does not adjust as much as the side straps do.

"Great vest for the price!

Pros:
-lightweight
-durable
-great looking
-mag pouches hold 2 MP5 clips each (6 total)
-cross draw is in the perfect place
-holds 7 pistol mags (3 chest, 1 holster, 2 belt and 1 in the gun)

Cons:
-when pistol/holster is pressed against me, the magazine falls out of the gun (KJW KP05 1911)

I need to find a way to modify the holster so this doesn't happen, but other than that it's great!

"This vest is good for beginners and hardcore players all alike. Its nice because if you don't like the M.O.L.L.E. systems them you don't have to mess with it. the vest fits big and tiny people very easily. Its especially good because you can either fit 12 m4 mags if you cram them in by double stacking them, or if you remove one of the magazine pockets you can have 6 m4 mags and a pistol. you can also have 4 pistol mags on this vest, and the shotgun shell holder can be used to hold shells or Co2 cartridges. the inner pocket can hold you little things like tools or maps. The walkie talkie holder can hold almost all basic size walkie talkies.

Pros;
Inner pockets
Lot of magazine potential
Comfy
Light weight
Nice Tactical belt
Sniper pad helps.... ALOT
Fully adjustable
Fits all sizes
good zipper (Not cruddy kind that breaks easily)
inner mesh to make vest breathable

Cons;
Inner mesh easily rips
Pistil holster isn't big enough for KJW m911

"This is Great Vest for $40. The belt is big and hard but can be adjusted to fit anyone smaller than the max length. All the Pouches are great, the holster works like it should. Shoulder pad it for rightys only, but is comfortable.
Only problem so far is the shoulders are not adjustable, so they come a little above my shoulders. Nothing can be moved around except the two pistol pouches on the belt can be moved. Mine did come with shotgun shell holders that were colours that matched the ACU. It can also be adjusted around the middle. It is very breathable and pretty light. I would recommend this vest for people who want to look cool, hold mags/clips and many other airsoft stuff, but dont want to spend 100s of dollars. THIS IS A GREAT BUY!

"this is a pretty good vest for the price it has 4 mag pouches and you can out 2 more on if you take the holster off and put on the 2 other mag pouches that come with the vest and it doesnt have those huge straps on the back of the vest like it shows in the picture insted it has MOLLE

pros:
lots of velcro to put on patches
MOLLE
the vest comes with a shotgun shell holder

cons:
belt is a pain to loosen
belt's strap clip thing that puts both sides together is reallly cheap

overall this is an ok vest and the compass holder doubles and a place to but a little waterbottle of bbs

"I haven't gotten the chance to use it yet, but so far my opinion is that it's pretty awesome. Fully adjustable. And I'm a big guy with broad shoulders. And oddly enough I got both versions in one and I got extra mag pouches, the "sniper pad", radio pouch, the shotgun shell holders it says it doesn't come with, and oddly enough they put the pistol holster on the back. Is that new or am I just lucky?

"i really like this vest i have just started airsoft this summer but this vest it great. i started with back yard fire fights and it deffintly beats only taking what you can fit in your pockets. although i had one constant problem the pistol holster keeps falling off and i almost lost my kjw glock 23 with both mags deep in the woods. but luckly my freinds helped me find it but i do not recoment puting heavy pistols in the holster other than that it held my m4 mags and my shotgun shells and i still have extra room

pros: cheap easy to ajust and alot of room

cons: cant put heavy pistols in the holster

"Alright piece of kit. My only complaint is that the pouches were too damn small to fit G36 mags. Had to slice off the elastic to get them to fit. Otherwise, a good alternative for those who don't want to spend the money on a molle vest and pouches.

Although, I wouldn't recommend this if you're interested in mil-sim or field games. 3 mag pouches just aren't enough. There's another similar vest here that has 6 mag pouches. I would recommend that and buying a stand-alone drop-leg holster for more hardcore players.

"really great vest. if you have the money BUY IT.

pros:
cant feel any bbs coming at you


cons:
a ton of mag pouches (just use some for speed loaders and flashlights)

"This is a nice beginners or spare vest for a friend. It is a great option when it is hot outside due to the mesh construction. Can be adjusted for girth and is secure when set up properly. Although there are a ton of this type of vest out there from different stores I would make sure you get the one you want. Some have more / better pouches then others although they look almost the same.

"ok, I just got this and its awesome! although the deluxe pouches cannot fit my sig 552's mag, its is still a good vest. the padded shoulders are good fr sniping, and it doesnt raddle around when you run.

"Great vest can be sized down to pretty small. I'm 5.3 and 100lbs and it fits me pretty good one down fall though is if your small the vest fits really wide. Otherwise has pretty much every pouch, pocket, and holster a beginner or pro would need.

Pros.
Awesome color
Fits pretty small people and big people
Lots of space
Holds mp5 mags
Has a Velcro spot for patches
Belt can be adjusted

Cons.
Fits wide on small people
A lil heavie
Pistol holster wobbles alot!!!
