"This is one awsome vest. im 5'7 and weigh 160 lbs and this thing fits me well. for my height it just reaches my waist. the holster fits a few of my guns and the material will suppress most of the force from a bb (if you worry about that). there is a pocket for stuff you might want to fit in there in the inside of the vest, and you can fit a sword or shotgun on the back without a scabbard.

"Just got this thing yesterday. First impression was "wow, decent look." The belt buckle is sturdy, 3 lock connector, not just the standard 2 clip like most. Mine came with a velcro shell loop, but I think I'm gonna see about buying some patches. The mag pouches are kinda slim, but they are extremely deep. I took one of the mags for my ruger p345 and it still had 3 inches of space at the top. The belt was kinda difficult to adjust to my size, almost had to completely remove it. However, this thing looks awesome. There are a decent amount of pouches, but only if you're gonna be running hi-cap mags. The holster concerns me slightly. Held in place by 1 strap, and velcro. The velcro is heavy duty stuff, but still leaves me a bit worried.
Pros:
Decent amount of pouches for hi-cap mags
Good look, and sturdy feel
Fairly easy to adjust to most sizes
Cons:
Not enough pouches if running low-caps
Pouches are slim and deep
Holster is attached by velcro
All around, it's a great vest to start out with, but be ready to invest in another one if you start using low or mid-cap mags.

"I just recieved this vest today and I am extremly impressed. Its very durable, the zipper works great and has plenty of room for magazines. You could probably insert two magazines for each pouch on the vest. A little small, so I would suggest wearing a few extra layers to make it fit snug. I would also suggest buying extra magazine pouches if one wishes to remove the holster.(Does not come with extra)
Overall, its a very good vest. I highly recommend it to any tactical player or squad.

"This vest is the best thing you can get for this price point. I got the black version, and it came with the left rifle shoulder pad. It fits me perfectly, and just for laughs i tried to ajust into my girlfriend and my son, it was a perfect fit after ajusting everything. Only thing i didn't like was that it comes randomly with the left radio pouch or shoulder pad. Also not that im NOT using this for airsoft, but rather for hunting, so i can store all my pellets/gear, and therefore it dosen't take as much abuse. So, final conclusions:
PROS:
-One size fits all.
-Eazy to organize gear, even if not using mags in the mag pouches.
-Cheap.
-Lots of pockets.
-Well distributed weight.
CONS:
-Takes a while to ajust, and patience.
-I think the belt is useless, but thats just me.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Cant really rate it for airsoft, but for hunting is really good, and it lasts. If you have 40 bucks and is in lack for a way to gather up gear go for it.

"Me and my freind bought two of these, one came with the radio pouch, the other came with the left shoulder pad. All around they are great vests but i do have one problem...
the one that came with the left shoulder pad has very small rifle mag pouches, i cant seem to fit anything but an mp5 mag in there... is this normal with this version?
pros:
-lightweight
-durable
-lots of pouches
-looks awsome
-great protection
cons:
-pouches arent removable
-small pouches on one version?

"Im a big boy about 6'3" and 320lbs.
This vest does not fit me stock but i shall mearly replace the adjustment straps in the back with longer ones, and vwalla a vest that fits a bigboy.
So over all tho i have not tested the vest to it's full capablities it's very nice and for the price you cant go wrong. I give it a 5 for price tho i havent even tested it completly but nice fit and holds a 1911 very well.

"i got this vest about 3 months ago and its great. its a little big i wish there were smaller sizes. the mag pouches DO fit ak mags and they are adjustable to fit. if you have a heavyer pistol the holster sometimes slouches.
the tac belt is great and the whole thing looks BEAST
Pros
great look
lots of pouches
big mag pouches
allows upgradeability
Cons
little too big
holster kind of hangs with heavy pistol

"this is a must buy for the price, its durable and has plenty of pouches for mags, a radio, bbs, speed loaders, and whatever you want to put in it.
pros.
durable
lots of pouches
has a holster
completely adjustable
shotgun shell holders
and has a belt that you can put even more pouches on.
cons.
if your a little small (like me) you might have to get used to it being a little loos (not a problem)
over all 5/5

"THIS IS AN AWESOME VEST! 6 MAG pouches, 3 pistol mag pouches, (50%chance of) Radio Pouch, Multipurpose pouch, Pistol quick draw and some other attachable/detachable pouch that I have no idea what It is for! xD
It's a good fit, and it does help take hits from highpowered guns as well. :)
This color, ACU is a bit misleading though. In the picture it is green, but I ordered this color and recieved grey/tan digital. Like a Digital Desert or something???
I'd get Digital Woodland if I could get a different color!

"This is a very good vest for its price almost a steal however you need to stretch the mag pouches a bit before use. And the pistol mag holders are a little small so im not sure how it will work other than that its great! and also its 6 dollars cheaper her as compared to airsoftgi and they actually get their orders on time and right. ive been waiting for and order for about 2 and half weeks (ground) but still...

"I own a copy of it but pretty similar. BTW mine is made from fidragon......made in china.....
pros:
anyways a really comportable vest
holds all my AK mags nicely (BTW to pocket ur AK mags properly, make em face away from you)
easier to pull out my sidearm than to reach into a leg holster
lots of Molle in the back...not sure what to put in there except another radio pouch...
high quality zipper and clip
4 mag pockets/pouches
4 pistol/small utility pouches(including the pouch on the holster)
and a medium sized chest pouch with velcro to attach flashy patches on it.
and adjustable straps
cons:
(this is my fidragon version so keep in mind of the cons)
low quality holster, the strap to keep my sidearm broke...the clip was cheap plastic so in one cold day, it broke....., now i use velcro for my holster strap
49.00$ i got it and i found better vests like this one made by Condor (not the fi dragon copy)
hard to adjust belt
kind of large vest when i first got it since a year ago and 2 months but now i can fit it perfectly
overall the fidragon copy is a 6/10
this one, the veteran Condor version 9/10
both are great vests, makes anyone look like a REAL B.A in the field....well that how the other airsofters in my field thought....
i recommend this!
