"I haven't actually taken this out in the field yet, but I used it today for the first time, it fits 6 of my AK mags nicely in it, some force is required to get them inside as they are a slight bit too big but they sure as hell wont fall out whilst running around.
I love the pouch on the inside, will mean I wont have to use an admin pouch at all.
I also love the fact that you can remove all the flaps for the pistol mag holders, as I don't actually use a pistol yet.
Also, this vest will fit pretty much anyone of any size, I'm not exactly a skinny guy and this thing can easily fit around two of me.

"This chest rig did not disappoint me at all, when I first opened it I admit i think it was meant for big people but it can easily be adjusted for someone that is smaller. I'm 5'7 140 pounds and I got this to fit PERFECTLY.
Pros
-Very flexible and comfortable
-Extremely adjustable for big and small people
-Has velcro at the end of the straps so you can roll up the extra and keep everything from hanging all over the place
-Has 6 M4 magazine pouches that keeps your mags nice and snug, you don't even need to use the secure band unless you are sprinting (Can also hold mp5 magazines but I recommend putting two in each slot to be more secure.)
-Can hold a pistol on both sides, also has a secure band so it makes a decent holster(Maybe not for a revolver but for pistols such as Glocks and M9 Berettas.)
-Nice big pouch right in the middle that is secured by velcro all along the top so nothing can fall out.
-6 Pistol magazines (I felt this was unnecessary, but sure why not. The more the better?)
Cons
-To be honest I haven't really had any cons, this chest rig is really great for the price and I'd pick it over a vest any day.
-I guess one con can be the magazine pouches are all integrated meaning you can't take them off and add your own pouches. (It does have molle straps on both sides if you want to add a real holster or additional customizations.)
Honestly if there was a con I would definitely speak up, but this chest rig is just awesome, grab it you won't be disappointed.

"Great rig, sturdy, very adjustable.
Pros:
Holds A LOT of stuff
Looks great
Durable
Can take more MOLLE pouches
Cons:
The MOLLE pouches that come with the rig are already sown on, so you can't remove them or customize them
A pain to get on

"This vest is great and really comfortable to wear in an airsoft war. Its simple, yet for me it performs the best out of any vest i have ever used. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great chest rig.
PS. I have an ak and my mags fit and hold perfectly in the pouches.

"Wow, what a great piece of tactical gear, Condor has done it yet again. This chest rig has everything you need to be out on the field without going overboard, some say simplest is best and it's hard to disagree once you strap on this rig. Very light weight, comfortable, durable, and economical, of course it doesn't offer much protection since your whole body is exposed but combined witha sturdy bdu and you'll be fine. I highly recommend this chest rig to players who like to run a lot or not care for lugging around too much weight and great for an lmg loadout.

"I am not the fast mover on my team, I am actually the exact opposite. However, I bought this chest rig for my local indoor field, and let me tell you it is a fantastic rig. It is nice having the six M4 mag pouches, but 6 pistol mag pouches is a little bit of overkill for me. I use a KWA M9 PTP, and the mags are pretty expensive, but if you use a pistol with cheap mags, well good for you.
There is a little bit of space on the side, which I use for a map pouch and the Condor sidekick pouch (which is a fantastic piece of kit) and it is a great combo. I keep a pocket knife on a strap and a dump pouch on the back belt. The rig is fantastically comfortable and is great with the x strap and small belt, but cannot help you for protection (obviously).
Let's do the pros and cons now:
PROS:
Small and slim
Six M4 and pistol mag pouches
A good amount of extra molle straps
Padded shoulders
Nice coyote color
Very breathable
High quality material
CONS:
It could be a little taller
Less pistol mag pouches, maybe a suppressor or flashlight pouch
And that's about it. It may obviously be different for you, but these are mine. For only 25, definantly buy it. Do it. Now. Right. Now. Unless you use an M249....

"This vest served me well for over a year, and is now showing some significant signs of wear, but is still fully functional.
Overall I like this vest but it should be noted that when fully laden it is very bulky and sags forwards, but is still very comfortable to wear, mags can be a bit tricky to re-insert so a dump pouch is mandatory.
I use a chest holster and this vest easily supports it and only one primary mag is more difficult to get at.

"It's a decent chest rig for the price, it does its job. However, there's a huge dealbreaker for me. The thing can't be tightened enough for it to stay on you securely. It just hangs there like a fat gut. I don't know why I might be missing something.

"I bought this vest second-hand from another local airsofter awhile ago because I was looking for a lighter platform than a plate carrier. At first, I liked the 6 pistol mag pouches on the front, but they very quickly got in the way and were really annoying for me... so I took a seam ripper and just took them off. Now it works beautifully (I can go prone easier without the pistol pouches) and looks a whole lot more streamlined. Anyways...
PROS:
- Holds 6 rifle mags easily (AK, M4, probably even G36 if you really stuffed them in)
- MOLLE space on the sides for extra pouches
- Nice spacious admin/map pouch behind mags
- Condor's modular circle-joint straps for arm movement
- Very lightweight
- Very forgiving for big people (I'm 6-foot-2 and almost 280lbs...)
CONS:
- 6 pistol/tool pouches on front stick out way too far
- Kinda hard to remove without undoing the joint buckles
- Needs modifications to make it work (personal opinion)
Overall, I'd give a solid 8.5/10. Definitely a couple issues on Condor's part, but nothing Evike can really do. Either way, it's still a great product from a great-ish company.

"I bought this rig a year or two ago, works great. No rips, nothing. I use my M4 and USP mags in it perfectly.
Pros:
Lightweight
All in one.
Some MOLLE webbing on the sides.
Cons:
Not really customizable.
Hard to go prone with rig full.
When running if not strapped correctly, the rig will sway and running your strides.

"This is the first vest I've ever bought for Airsoft. I like the vest a lot, it fits both my AK mags and my M4 mags just fine. I would recommend this to any new Airsoft player with a budget, but there are better vests you can buy with more money.

"I've switched over to chest rigs away from plate carriers due to the desire to remain agile, nimble, and cooler. Plate carriers tend to make me too hot especially in the summer.
The pouches are fixed and not adjustable but they are layed out the way I like them so it fits me well. The padded straps are comfortable. My only nit-pick is there is no dump pouch that Condor has included on some of their other chest rigs. I had to pick up a separate dump pouch.

"This rig functions great, but I hate the size and adjustability.
Pros:
I like how many pistol pouches it had. You could run two pistols as both your primary and your secondary with how many pistol mags you fit in here.
If you flip the big Velcro flap for the double pistol mag pouch inside out, and fix it in place with the kangaroo bungee, you can use patches.
The rifle mag pouches were great because they fit any type of magazine. From the Stanag pattern to the Bakelite to the banana mags, these kangaroo pouches can do it all.
The general purpose Velcro pouch could fit a pistol. So if you like having your side arm on your chest, this is the one for you.
Some extra molle space on the sides for extra accessories.
Cons:
I absolutely HATE how it only fits fat people. You need to be a giant dude in order for this rig to feel good on you. If you’re scrawny like me, don’t get this. The adjustment system on this rig is impossible to figure out and I don’t have the patience to mess with it. Seriously if you’re not wide enough the weight of what you’re storing in the rig will cause it to slice down into your pelvis. It feels like your pelvis is being stabbed or crushed, unbearable. I love everything else about it, I just wish it wasn’t exclusively for fat people.

"I bought this vest a while back and it works well but i have a few gripes with it. When it is fully loaded if you lay in the prone your body arcs upward because there is so much gear stacked on top of each other. after only minutes of getting it out of the box the pals webbing on the shoulder came unsewn. Also, if you are a slimmer fit like i am the straps dig into your neck and when the vest is completely tightened, its still loose on me so i have to wear a soft armor
Pros

many mag pouches
hidden admin panel and 2 extra mag pouches (velcro on sides)
takes a beating in the feild
Cons
weak stitching in places (re enforce it)
arched body in prone position
doesnt fit smaller framed people
mesh on straps scratches neck raw
