"Best Vest you can buy. Just got mine today. While it does weight a bit much. Has enough pouches for 4 m4 mags and 2 pistol mags. 2 pouches on each side that can either be used for more mags or i have found that the left side can be used for a holster. The built in sling is perfect as it doesn't irritate the neck after hours of play and virtually makes your gun nonexistent. Well worth the $320 i bought mine in multicam so it was about $30 more but overall get this, you wont regret it. Also i recommend getting a battle-belt to go with this vest as there is no real room for a drop pouch and any other accessories one may need.

"Paul, because it cost the same or more to make this vest than an Xbox?
Also, its more healthy to play airsoft than Xbox. The Xbox cannot hold magazines, does not come with sling for your rifle and will break if it gets shot by an airsoft gun...
The Xbox also does not come in tan, so it won't match your BDU. And you need to have a TV and a lot of other stuff to make it work....

"Pretty good vest, a bit bulky and heavy but gets the job done. Also kinda expensive but overall great purchase and would recommend to a beginner.

"first off you get what you pay for and this product is amazing but the reason why i rated this 4 out of 5 stars is only because of one thing which is the side. I am 5 foot 10 inches and 125lbs. and i have this vest to as tight as it could be and it is huge on me and it shakes around too much. So if you are around my size and looking at this vest i would go with either a jpc or condor gunner plate carrier.

"All I've got to say is... wow. I've had this vest for well over 5 months now, and it's never failed me. It's big, it's bulky, but look at all that MOLLE. This plate carrier is very comfortable all-in-all. If you want to go for a USMC look, buy this Plate Carrier. Just as a side-note: If you are looking for something lightweight, extremely mobile in cqb, and all around high-speed low drag, I would not recommend this. there are some velcro straps here and there which kindof get in the way, but they don't make the plate carrier uncomfortable at all.
Pros:
MOLLE FOR DAYS
MOLLE FOR DAYS
Extremely versatile
comes with all the pouches you'd ever need for it
durable material
comfortable
Cons:
Hard to remove (no way to quick remove as far as I'm concerned)
adjusting isn't the easiest thing in the world
some annoying pieces somewhat loose
sling isn't the most useful even when it's placed in the correct position

"This vest is made by Phantom Gear which means great quality, good double stitching and the 9 accessory pouches make this a great basic CIRAS replica. The foam plates are built in for stiffness, the Molle webbing is solid, and the bungie sling is a great addition can spread out the weight of even heavy AKs. I've played for a year in it now and it does keep you warm for night games but it still hot to use during the day. The lumbar and vest itself can be adjusted in the back panel with straps with alice holes. Just test it out and adjust as needed and then throw a zip tie through the holes and your solid. The Weigh sits on the middle and keeps your shoulders from being fatigued. Fells lighter but just as bulky as a real CIRAS vest, this is not good for high speed load outs but for longer games and operations. It's not very easy to crouch in or bend over. Can take high powered shots from say a sniper rifle but you won't be able to feel lower fps guns hit thevest sometimes sobe aware if your hits. Coversalot of your body from shots very well, double stack M4 pouches hold a single AK mag pretty well and even Condor Shotgun Holder in a single M4 pouch too.. I've added a shotgun scabbard on the back as a backup and you hardly feel it there the weigh it very even. All in all it's a great rig, I don't regret it a single day but I do wish the price was lower or itcame with a pouch that could hold a propane tank or motorola radio easier.
Pros
-Lots of Molle
-Even Weight distribution
-Lots of Pouches
- Padded
-Sling
-Adjustable
-Great lumbar support
-Durable
- Great replica CIRAS
-Good M4 pouches
Cons
-Heavy
-Bulky
-Sometimes too thick to feel hits
-A bit of a hassle to adjust, but good when it's set with a Zip tie
-Steel cable quick release doesn't do anything
-Would like better pouches like the description above said they would pack with it.
All inall a great vest if you can afford it. I'm 5'10" at 240lbs. and with a 40 inch chest and this was REALLY Loose so maybe try a Medium if your smaller.

"This vest is great in terms of MOLLE space and comfort. However, unless you are a large person (250+), get the medium size. I learned that the hard way; it runs slightly large in the back.
Also, it DOES NOT MATCH standard US ARMY ACU patterns; this vest is a few shades darker. Not a huge gripe, but kind of the reason I wanted it in ACU.
