"Just got this in the mail the other day and I have to say I'm impressed. I did a little adjusting and it fit around my body like a glove. The utility pouch it comes with is a little cheap though. Otherwise a must have!

"For the price, not bad.
The Velcro is pretty bad and fell apart quickly but everything else is great.

"nice but if you are on the bigger side I'd go with something else
I'm on the bigger side had to work on the vest for a few days to make it fit
nice package tho

"This vest is great! Quality made, awesome camo style, but very rigid being brand new. You'll definitely have to break it in. You might need to adjust the position of the pouches and admin pouch so you can extract your mags well enough to clear the admin pouch.

I had hoped though that it was a bit more adjustable being a 2XL size guy. So now I definitely have to be fit for it to fit, haha.

"Love the rig, only problem with it is size.
I'm 5' 11" over weight (230lbs) using airsoft as exercise, the rig doesn't fit very well, likely due to me being over weight.
It would fit just about anyone smaller than me quite well. The adjustment straps work well just come up a little sort for someone my size.
comes with all the pouches as shown, build quality seems to be adequate, and yes you can put plates in, front and rear, NO side plate mounts.

"Pros:durable, plenty of space on both the front and back, some pouches included, and its price makes this vest a steal

Cons: while the waist is adjustable its only able to be done so much, and for bigger individuals such as myself it just won't cut it how it comes Don't fret though as its easily fixed with velcro patches purchased from any walmart/craft store and alittle sewing or fabric glue, aswell the pouches don't securely hold ak mags as it was listed on the description when I made the purchase but with alittle work I've figured out how to fit them in and still be able to pull them easily

All in all its a great purchase but if you are bigger id be prepared to make some after market adjustments to the vest to ensure a proper snug fit that isn't crushing or uncomfortable

"Fits well (6’3” 170lbs) everything is great except the wire that runs near the shoulders keeps coming out

"BLUF: It's an okay vest if you're just starting out.
Includes: Plate carrier, triple M4 mag pouch, admin pouch, general-purpose utility pouch. I've had this for like, four years, and its held up well. It is very large for a plate carrier; I'm 5' 10" and it comes down to my waist, making it impossible to wear a battle belt in conjunction with it.

Pros:
-Cheap
-Comes with pouches
-Has plate pouches on the inside
-Tough
-Quick-release system

Cons:
-Hot
-Kinda hard get on and off without unbuckling the side and undoing the velcro
-Ridiculously hard to fit six mags in, the pictures are a complete lie
-The mag pouches ride up into the admin panel
-No MOLLE on the cummerbund

Overall, it's a decent vest for a first time player, but I'd suggest getting a Condor vest or chest rig instead

"to start off it is a good vest for biginners it looks small on my older bother who is taller than me by 1 1\2 ft I am 13 and it is a nice vest for me
by Kenichiro L. on 06/26/2020
"It’s not the best vest in the world. If your a beginner it’s pretty okay but I recommend saving a little bit more to get a chest rig and a real plate carrier. But it’s worth it if you just want to do pick up games
by sean j. on 05/03/2018
"A great vest for the money! Friend and I got these for some big games coming up and..wow! For $50 we wernt expecting much but we got a really quality vest. Would highly recommend. Only issue is some of the molle webbing is small, like it was stitched to close or something. Not not a major issue.

Pros:
good quality
Comes with pouches
Cool pattern
Very affordable.
Fit great (im 5'11" and 145 pounds)
Plenty of molle space (Front and back)

Cons:
Some molle to small
Plate it comes with is very hard to get to with QR wiring

Overall I highly recommend and will be using this vest often.

"For the price this is a good deal if you run a m4 or any gun that take the same mags. I would only suggest this to beginners who are looking for their first vest because it will break down after a lot of use. If you are looking for a vest with high durability over a long period of time (excess of 4-6 months) I would suggest on looking for another vest, but like I said if you are a beginner and aren't looking to drop hundreds on a chest rig this is a good option.
by Lance H. on 12/28/2017
"I have no problems with the build quality, but the one size fits all mindset is false on this product. Standing at 5'11 165lbs as a genourous estimate, this carrier runs tight on the shoulders and barely fits comfortably. The pouches do their job and are a little smaller than I imagined, but that aside they fit what they said they would so I have no complaints about them. Lastly this vest is fairly loud with all the Velcro keeping it together, so that can be a negative of you need to be stealthy.
PROS
Solid build quality
Has all the pouches specified
Mock plates included

CONS
Loud velcro
Tight fit on shoulders
Pretty toasty even just standing around in it for just a couple of minutes

I would recommend this vest to people of smaller statures

"I run this vest in my NATO kit and its absolutely amazing for the price. Its lightweight, I'm pretty sure you can run plates and stops BBs pretty well. It holds 3 m4 magazines and I plan to attach 3 more pouches to the back of it.

Pros:
Lightweight
Can possibly run plates
Added Triple M4 Mag pouch
Cheap
Effective

Cons:
Molle can be a bit annoying when you are trying to move or add things to the plate carrier at times

"Well, what can I say?

It may not be the most comfortable thing I've ever worn, but it does exactly what a vest is supposed to do, without any difficulties. And that is, give you space to store all your mags, and stuff.

There is only one comment I have on this product. It smells like a god-damn chemical tanker.

I'm not shure why, but the entire vest reeks of something like petrol, so badly, that just smelling it alone makes me feel nauseous. I hoped that the smell would eventually wear off after a few games with it, but nope, it still smells like gas...

The vest also has a few design flaws when it comes to the webbing, but the only problem that causes is that it makes it a little trickier to attach stuff to the vest. But, you don't actually notice any of that, in game, once you've got it all together...
