Matrix USMC Style C.I.R.A.S. Type Force Recon Tactical Vest (Color: Black)

"Best vest I've ever warn. Wore it in a huge game, and with a couple extra pouches, I was the running depot for most of my crew. After that, wasn't hard to rig it up for close quarters. Only thing I recommend is purchasing a good dump pouch and probably investing in one of the phantom ciras slings. The one I bought even came with dummy plates (cheap foam plates), so if you're worried about the sting of being hit, you probably won't feel it if it hits anywhere on the chest or back.

"I used this vest for the first time this weekend to a fallout op as a wastlender and it performed amazingly!
This is by far the best vest I've ever used. For the all the pouches on it and it only cost $99. This is the vest! I was worried at first it wouldn't fit me (Im 200 pound and 6 foot 2), but that was not a problem at all. If you are looking for a medium weight, easy wear, versatile vest, i can't stress enough, THIS IS YOUR VEST!

"this vest is great and i love it its just as good as the 200 dollar one that evike carries but cheaper, i have put a shotgun scrabbard and a radio pouch on mine. is is very complicated to adjust,there is a snap on the back you undo,then lift the flap on the back, and you adjust it there also on the sides there is the elastic and the molle is seperated. i tied both sides together with zipties and it fits me very snug. overall very nice vest

"Got this vest for Christmas of 2011 and it is really nice the ACU color is kinda darker than the pic but i liked that more the MOLLE is attached pretty loose so you have to take it off and re-do it and the pouches take some breaking in they are supposed to fit 2 mags but they only fit 1 unless you cut of the bunge straps going around it then you can fir 2 without any problem and the slide out really nice but not so easy they will fall out while you are running and the vest is VERY hard to adjust so there is an opening on the back to a cord so pull that and loop it to fit the height and the waist is adjustable so you may have to do that here are pro's nad con's

Pro's

Nice quality
durable
molle
adjustable
darker color (pro for me)
detachable you can re-arange things

con's

hard to adjust
molle is loose requires time to fix
mag holders are tight so you have to modify to fit more mags


but i do recommend

"I just got this vest today and I love it. It came with everything it said it would come with and I added a hydration pack and it fits great and looks amazing. I also added a one-point sling and a couple of patches. It has room for all of those things and it look great. The only thing i am disappointed with is that I have no idea how to adjust it. I am going to look on youtube, though. I'm sure it's on there. So overall, I give this vest a 5 out of 5.
By the way, I might do a review once I use it in a battle.
GET THIS VEST!

"By far the best vest I've owned for the price. Looks awesome, very customizable, you can make this vest into the exact out load you need.

I don't recommend this for 5'4 sized people around 140lbs may not be snug enough.

It is difficult to adjust to your body, however if you use a shoelace to put in the loop where the straps go/quick release wire, you can pull the looped string through each of the straps holes, and bam, super easier.


If your on a budget and want something cool, this if for you.

Stitching may not be the best on the inside mesh, easily rips, oops.

"This vest is absolutely amazing. It carries anything I could ever think of. You can do as much rearranging as you want (which I did) and the vest doesn't lose any integrity. I switched out the mag pouches that it comes with (with the stupid flaps) for some double-stacked kangaroo pouches and I added a dump pouch and the Condor Modular MOLLE ready Pistol Holster. The plate armor is removable but I usually leave it in unless it gets outrageously hot.

Note: If you get this vest make sure that it comes with every pouch listed above. Mine did not come with the utility/medical pouch.

BEST VEST I'VE EVER OWNED and I have owned a lot!!!
Absolutely, without a doubt, worth the money!!!

"amazing vest!! so much bang for your buck with this, material is great quality no defects fits great im 6' 3" 180 pounds, the adjustment system is sweet too

"Just got this vest today and I all I can say, it's amazing!!! It fits perfectly with a little adjusting, and is very comfortable. It has lots of mag pouches which I love since I'm using mid cap mags and my mags fit in it perfectly. One thing it does weigh a bit but I don't care about that but for those who don't like heavy vests might want to get something else. But this vest is amazing and I highly recommend it!!!

"This vest is amazing! If you are looking for as close to a military issue ciras vest this is it. Its fully adjustable not too heavy and has TEN mag pouches! While i have not used it in combat yet I have tried it on and filled the vest with my regular loadout and it handled it like a champ. So for any of you out there that are serious about copying a military loadout or even need a strong durable vest than this is it... spend the extra cash its worth it.

"this vest is amazing i got it 4 days ago and i love it its comfortable not very restricting and has a lot of storage for extra mags and whatever else you may need. I highly recommend this vest. 5 stars

"So far the best vest I've ever owned. It doesn't get any more authentic than this. It's also the heaviest vest I've ever owned, but it's not too heavy. It took me a while to figure out how to do the adjustments though, because there was no manual for it or anything. But once I figured it out it was easy and beyond perfect.
I would like to recommend an instruction video on how to find the straps and make adjustments. Webmasters?
I recommend this to anyone who wants the real authentic feel and look. Why buy a 40-dollar vest that might rip after a few months or you might even outgrow? Buy this and it will last you forever (figuratively speaking)

"this is a great vest, but it didn't come with the same pouches as shown. Im not mad, it'll still work just fine, on a positive note, fully adjustable and comfy. Im a bigger guy and it fits me well. 6' 1" 220lbs oh came with a single dual pistol mag holder, a ton of M4 pouches, and a camel back type deal. all in all totally worth it.

"This vest is awesome. It comes with most of what is in the pictures. It was only missing the back utility pouch, but the problem was quickly remedied by Evike.com's customer service.

Overall the vest is well built and sturdy, and that in itself is worth $100 right there, and the pouches were also nice. I can get 10 mags on my vest, and when I add my leg rig, I can add another 6. There is ample room, specially on the back. On the front there isn't as many options because of the quick-release velcro, but it is still fine, it came the way it needed to be set up, like the pics on the website, and all I had to do was re-weave them so they were secure.

The vest has excellent stitching, and well constructed, but does get a little hot compared to my previous vest, a mesh cross-draw, but I was willing to sacrifice a little comfort and weight to get a well put together, sturdy, modular vest.

The thing that sold me on this vest first is that it came with pouches, which in woodland camo are hard to find nowadays, seeing as its all going digital, but I would seriously recommend getting this if you have disposable income, or really need a new vest like I did.
