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

"An awesome vest, especially for the price. It can hold just about anything you would need. It has a holster, radio/walkie-talkie pouch, 6 pouches for pistol mags or a speedloader on the belt,holster, and 3 under the radio puch, 4 AEG pouches, a sniper shoulder pad, two big pockets on the inside, and some velcro to put a patch on. It fits just about everybody. I see a lot of people wearing these at the airsoft field I go to. (Poco Loco, in New Hanover Pennsylvania)

BUY THIS!

"For 40$, this is an excellent buy. The vest fits comfortably and seems to be rather durable. I've been using it for months now, and it works perfectly. My only complaint is that I have a CYMA CM122 full metal pistol, that weighs about 2-3 pounds, and I was forced to move the holster to my belt, as it could not stay in place on the Velcro with the straps.
Honestly, the only complaint I have about this vest is that the holster is not very good. It's made of a light material, and it won't accept pistols with attachments, as well as large pistols have a bit of trouble getting quickly put back in. However, I went to wal-mart and got a 5$ holster that I put on the belt, and it works just fine.
The pockets are good, and M4 mags fit perfectly in the pouches. There's plenty of holding space for anything on it as it comes, and the Velcro makes it easily modifiable.
For 40$, it is a very good buy, and you probably won't find anything better.

"Hey for the guy that totally nocked down this vest. I was in The marines, and attacthed to a recon team. Everything that this vest is designed for has special purpose. Before you knock things you dont understand, instead check those large loops in the back, they are designed for your buddies to drag our ass out of a firefight in case you take a round. The pistol location is designed for ultra fast drawability because well REAL M4 weapon systems dont hold 400 bb's they are real rounds buddy. and are freakin heavy when your carrying 10 mags, food and water for 3 days, comm gear, and whatever medical supplies and any personal things you may want to bring.

That is why they have the MOLLE water system, or the cammel back i highly advice getting on because you just have like a giant water balloon on your back and a straw lol. it comes in handy so dont waste your time with b.s. like canteens' plus if the pocket is not designed to carry what your trying to shove and force into it, then take a wise stab in the dark. It's not meant or designed for that feature. this vest is designed for fast in and out strike teams, if your looking to take a whole damn camping pack with you to the battlefeild then enjoy dying. Swift, Tactical choices make the day and keep you and your fire team alive. other than that i enjoyed reading your review because i like pro and con reviews, and i bought it : ) lol

"This vest is AMAZAZING!!!!! its very durable and has tons of pockets for all your gizmoes and gadgets. most of the pouches can me taken off and switched around or replaced with other things that stick to Velcro. relatively light, but some of the mag pouches on the side might be kind of hard to get to. definitely will want a dump pouch with this thing cause those side pouches will be annoying if your trying to put your empty mags in there when reloading. definitely advise getting this vest especially if it's your first one.


5/5 definitely

"this is an amazing vest for the price im small and it fits me perfectlly.
the mag holer are big and you wont lose your mag
its easy to run with and suprisingly its camoflauged
it fits the side arm but the side arm shakes a little

"i got this vest but i havnt been able to use it in a battle yet. So far its great for the money. Right now i only have a sniper rifle and a co2 m9 and it can hold almost anything. I know ak47 mags can fit in it but im wondering if you can fit g36 magazines in it because i want to buy one for christmas and if they can fit im getting one. I got the version of the vest that comes with the two padded shoulders and i wanted the one that comes with the radio pouch. O well its a fun vest and makes you feel like a pro 5/5

"This vest looks awesome and fits me well too. I am 5,4 and 115 pounds and this vest fits me perfectly. when it arrived to my house it had the two belt pistol mag pouches on the back of the vest along with the holster but you can easily unhook them off of the MOLLE webbing and put them where they were in the picture. it also has two rifle mag pouches where the holster should go.

"I am really suprised with the quality of this vest. While it is a mesh vest, it feels very solid and uses thick fabric where it counts (mag pouches, belt, holster). The vest I received came with two M-4 magazine pouches that you can put in place of the holster in case you need more ammo or don't carry a side arm. I also received two extra pistol magazine pouches that were velcroed to the back of the vest. The only downsides of this vest are the cheap clip on the belt, and the fact that your gun will be jelous of how much time you spend with your vest once you get it. Six stars!

"i love this vest everytime i wear it everyones like ah hell we got a comando :)

Pros
extremely comftorable
fits well and im a plus size guy
paded sniper should works great
easy to turn the pistol mag holsters on the back to hold my shotgun behind them
most of the pouches are velcro and removeable
alot of mag pouches
easly to put on and take off
lightweight
i couldnt feel a 580+ fps gun hiting my back :) (triburst shotgun)

Cons
took a week later then it shouldve to get here
black is easy to spot in woodland games(if you play there)
side pouches can be anoying to get the mags into

"This vest is fantastic for beginners as well as advanced players. Whether you are looking to add it to a full set of gear or zip it over a long sleeve T-shirt, this vest will get the job done. This is a somewhat lengthy review, but it covers many details, so I hope it's helpful!

One of it's best qualities of the vest is the overall versatility. The pistol mag pouches also work great for flashlights and speed loaders. The mag pouches are capable of comfortably holding both M4 and AK style magazines, which is helpful since many vests are usually specific for one or the other. The cross draw holster is well made and comfortably holds many different pistol types (I tried out a few different styles and weights). With heavier guns, I will say that the velcro gets a workout. However, there are areas on the vest to secure it in place tightly, so it is a minor thing. On the back, a hydration pack is a great option for those who want water on them at all times. A shotgun scabbard or weapon catch for quick access to your sidearm are also good choices!

After purchasing the vest, I became aware of the velcro areas all over. This is fantastic for customizing the vest to your liking. If you already have a good holster that you are fond of, the vest comes with extra mag pouches that you can velcro on in place of the cross draw holster. Don't have worry about wasting space with this bad boy. You'll be able to find room for everything! (Please note that this vest is made by a few different manufacturers...I don't know if these qualities hold fast to all the different brands.)

It helps to be a bit on the bigger side if you like a tight fitting vest. At 5'7 and 160 lbs, I have the straps as tight as they can go and it is still a tad bit big on me, but this is a minor setback. It is also helpful to do some moving around in it before a skirmish to break it in. The mag pouches and the padded rifle shoulder on the right are a bit stiff and can make movement a bit difficult at first. Once this is out of the way, you should have no problems. The mesh netting is also amazing for air movement, so don't worry about over heating. I played in this vest for six hours straight and after a while it's like it becomes a part of you!

That about wraps it up for this one. Overall, I don't think you can get much better with a very versatile vest for only $40! If you like to be quick on your feet and need a place for your mags or extra gear, you can't go wrong with this one!

"Great vest. adjustable in every which way (yes the belt is adjustable... takes some work thats all). lots of pouches, came with 2 rifle mag puches where the pistol holster is in the pic (holster was straped to back so you can change things out/ around to better suit you) also had two extra pistol pouches strapped to the back. all in all 5 stars!

"THIS VEST IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!! 1,000,000 stars rating!!! BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY and i cant say it any more.......BUY IT!!!!!! I have had this vest for 5 years and finely after taking a million shots to the chest the zipper chipped and now i have to buy a new one. Can you guess what chest rig im going to buy?

______________THIS VEST IS WHAT IM GOING TO BUY AGAIN____________________

Pros:
-Cheaper than ASGI, Shorty, Hobbytron, and Airgun depot by at least 15 dollars
-Great for people who are big/medium/small
-DURABLE TO THE MAX
-Holds enough hicaps to never run out of a whole day of air soft
-3 speed loader holders
-map/twinky holder
-Able to attach camel back(GET ON ITS SO NICE ATO TAKE A DRINK OF WATER IN BATTLE)

Con:
-my zipper broke :(

"For the price it is great. The mag pouches even fit my AUG mags which are really big. The only con is that the shoulders are not very adjustable. I got the one without the radio pouch, which is no big deal because it makes up for it in other ways.

"This vest is super awesome. it has everything you may need whether your a pistol user, rifle user, or you use everything from assault rifle, pistol and shotgun at the same time. there are some molle loops on the back which is good for a hydration device, butt back, or shotgun/rifle scabbard. the pistol mag pouches are too small for MK23s or deagles, but the ones on the holster and the belt fit them fine. A nice additon is the handle at the top of the vest so medics can drag you easy-peasy. The vest is very breathable, as it is made of a strong mesh type stuff, which is great fro summer. This vest is not good if you are unusually small or big but in between you can adjust it every whch way. the only complaint i have is that some of the nylon straps that keep the holster in (look at the picture) frayed after a while, but if that happens just cover the end of the strip in duct tape!

"All I have to say is this is a awesome product i ever got in my life. also its cheap. I'm 5'11ft, 205lb and very slim. it fit perfect.

pro:
light
fit good
alot of stuff to put on
protect you good

con: I need my g36c with it. :(
