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

"While browsing the Evike Vest and Armor section I quickly came across the "Deluxe Spec. Force Cross Draw Tactical Vest w/ Built In Holster & Mag Pouches (OD)" for $39.99 and instantly decided to buy it. It is as described on the website, it included everything they said, and as warned about on the website, how it exactly looked varied from the pictures shown on the page. But it was no big deal, the vest was just a lighter shade of what was originally shown and the "Padded Sniper Shoulder Vest" was not black like in the picture, but the same color as the vest. I had read that the vest kind of ran big, but that was a benefit for me being that I'm a heavy large framed 5'11, 235lbs. male. The vest is very comfortable and does not ride up or move around while you crouch or turn, it's comfortable and in no way or form does it comprise your mobility . The only issue with the vest was that it smelled like gasoline or something when i got it. It might have just been the one vest I got but the smell was so strong "like give you a headache strong". So after I washed it and the smell remained I took it to my cleaners where It was explained that it might had been stored away for a long time and that's why it had smelled that way, which may had been the case. But overall this is a great vest, i would recommend it to anyone and for $39.00 it's a steal

"Very nice Tac vest. mag pouches are perfect.
Pros:
Fits very nicely
breathable
make you look awesome

Cons:
Pistol holster droops off when you have a pistol in it and is very clumbsy
i lost a pistol that fell out of the mag pouch

very nice vest 5/5

"Nice vest. Mine came with 6 M4 mag pouches and a holster on the back at shoulder level. I took off 3 mag pouches (theyre connected in 3's) and put the holster on. I have a heavy pistol, one with metal slide. It fit snugly in the holster, i wasnt afraid of it falling out, but when i was running, the holster detached itself from the vest, cause it was only attached by velcro, and the vibration of me running shook it off. No big deal, i put some ACU tape on it and it dosen't even get the slightest bit loose.
I'm trying to think of something wrong with the vest.....
1. Well, the mag pouches don't fit all mags well. if you got an MP5, this definatley isn't the vest for you.
2. Also, this is basically a righty vest only. If you are left handed, the stock will be coming into contact with the radio pouch. Most people are right handed, so this isn't a big problem.

I'm 13, so iadjusted this vest to fit me perfect. For the money, great vest. Popular too, lots of people use this. You can tell, this vest gots 24 reviews.

"Great vest, none better for the price.

Pouches are well constructed and layout is very well thought out.

Highly recommended.

"This vest is beast I got it and will wear it just for fun. The pistol always dosn't fit mine is to small for the holster

PROS
looks cool
price
holds 4 mags
holds 3 gas pistol
there is a knife loop on the inside mag pouch

Cons
.......... none

"I just received this from Evike and i really like it. It is a larger tac vest but it still fits my sides well, shoulders are a bit loose but not a big deal there. The mag pouches work great and you can put extended pistol mags into your M4 pouches if you have them. It is well ventilated and has alot of pouches which is nice. I got the "sniper shoulder" version with the radio pouch and its pretty nice.

Pros:
Very light
Cool (temp and looks wise)
TONS OF POUCHES!
snug fit
adjustable
place for hydration pack

Cons:
THEY DIDNT GIVE ME A HOLSTER!!!! (being shipped atm)
bit loose on shoulders but no biggy there.

All in all id say for a beginning or medium level airsofter this would be a great buy. =)

"Just: "Awesome vest!!!"
Remove pistol holster and install extra set of mag pouches, now I can carry six hi-cap ak47 mags with ease (yeah!!!).
Also five CO2 12 grams canisters, flex unjaming rod, extra battery, tools for in-field repairs, radio, "dead" rag, woodland camo camelback and dump pouch, speed loader for pistol..........

"I cannot find a better vest for the same price. It's simple, but elegant. Great for starters or people on a low budget! Looks and feels awesome, but you might to add more pouches if you carry midcaps. Also the holster seems to be universal (not entirely sure, but it fits my Walther P99 Blowback), but is only attached by a Velcro back and two thin straps. Also it is a bit hard to draw your secondary weapon quickly because it has a buckle to hold the gun in place.

Pros:
-Great look and feel
-Amazing price
-Pouches included (6 Main mag, 6 secondary mag, 1 radio, 1 multi-purpose, 5 co2/shell holder, Holster)

Cons:
-Hard to fit certain mags in pouches
-The holster is not as secure as a thigh holster
-The buckle on the holster makes it hard to draw secondary quickly

Bottom Line: "Knock out" vest with a "knock out" price!

"This is a great vest. Its light, plenty of pockets to put mags and speed loaders in.

"this vest is really good for light weight style airsoft.

Pros, light weight
you can cut off the elastic on the mag pouches so they can carry 2 mags per pouch
a lot of pouches-pockets

Cons,you cant take off mag pouches
pistol holster can come off easily (happened to me in a war)
that's it
all around a good starter vest.

"This vest is great! I'm pretty small so I was worried it wouldn't fit me but it fit me really well! You can adjust it from really really small, all the way so it would fit someone who is 7 feet tall. It's really light too. Mine came with 4 mag pouches on the front and the pistol holster on the back? but you can switch out 2 mag pouches and put the pistol holster there because there's velcro and you secure it with straps.

Overall this vest is great for your first vest and its a great price! I defiantly recommend this !

Pros:

-Light Weight
-Very Adjustable
-Comfortable
-Low Price


Cons:

-Mag pouch can't quite fit 2 SIG 552 mags

"This vest is amazing! I use it when im sniping. it holds everything ,even ny secondary gun. i love it! :D

"I absolutely love this vest. A few things you should know is that while it says it only has three rifle mag pouches, there is a fourth pouch on the left side that is the same size. I use it for my grenade. Also if you have a G36 mag, or something similar in shape, the pouch can only take one. However, I am sure two M4 mags will fit easily. The radio pouch is great, will fit any comunications set you may have. The pistol holster is nice, the only problem being that while running around it is easy to hit the mag release button accidentally. Overall, a great vest.

"MAN do I love this! I got this a while ago and I've used it ever since even for about a 30 minute war, IT ROCKS!!!

PROS...

- Looks cool

- Can fit MANY magazines EVEN AK47/74 magazines which is a plus for me!

- Good woodland camo

- Pistol pouch can fit many pistols

- Mine came with a shotgun shell holder. I'm not sure is yours will because it doesn't have one in the picture but if I didn't alter any order things on this item yours will too!

CONS...

- The little grommet that holds the pistol pouch back-pack looking clip can fall/break off the pouch

- Can get heavy with most/all pouches filled

"In some small instances, it isn't what you see is what you get. But don't let that discourage you. Know if you're a fairly small person, it only adjusts so small lol. Overall I like it and it comes with way more pouches than shown in the picture. Coloration is dead on except for a few things. I'd recommend it if you're in the market for a affordable, quick buy to up your tactical appearance.
