"Very useful vest with all the useful pouches. Love the built in admin pouch with Velcro. It is very patch ready. THe shoulder pad has velcro on it too! The magazine pouches can hold plenty of magazines. Love the grenade strap. The shoulder pad is removable if you don't like it, but it looks like a samurai armor.

"I think the shoulder are lame, but for those who play FEAR...looks like Replica armor, just need a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and a camo uniform to complete your FEAR look

"Best vest out there. Its a Great vest and is very light weight. The pouches are perfect and very useful. The different detachable parts are ideal for what you want and how your playing. I would recommend this vest even to a hardcore airsoft player.

"Only complaint is the hole for your head to go through. Around my head measurement is 24” and I could barely fit my head through. Made a slight adjustment to the head hole and it fits great.

"Nice quality. I bought this for myself and could not fit my normal sized adult head through it. Gave it to my 10 y/o daughter. There needs to be a way to open up the head opening to get your head in and out.

"This vest is honestly pretty good, the neck protectors are adjustable and can be moved to the wearers comfort, but can fall off if you dont secure the velcro neck gaurd propperly.

If you buy the vest keep in mind that you will sweat rather noticeably, try and keep on the move or in a cooler environment while wearing.

It can hold a single g3a3 magazine in each of the front pouches, and the hydration pack insert is very useful, and there is a good amount of room to put things like patches on the chest and shoulder pads; which can be removed.

over all 8/10 pretty good to start off with but with its limited space for extra mags and how warm you will get are noticeable

"I've Had This vest for a little over two years now, And i must say It's lasted the test of time.
It's Always been a staple of my loadout, but it's lifetime in my loadout is coming to an end, and I felt obligated to reccomend this to any who read this. I'm 5'11, 245 Lbs, And it's always been comfy Despite my stomach size. The Mag pouches get the job done, and depending on how you use them, you can hold at most 6 STANAG Magazines. The admin pouch comes with three pockets, 1 smaller open pocket in front, one velcro-closed pocket in the middle, And one Open pocket in the back. While it's meant to hold a 40mm grenade shell, I always used the elastic strap to hold a speed loader for on-field refills. While the back is meant for a Camelbak bladder, I always had a foam insert i custom cut to help dull back-shots. There is foam padding in the front, But the rear is only fabric, so I advise you to do the same. The Arm covers, In my opinion, Are useless and will only restrict your movement. The neck protector comes off, But only the front portion. the rear is stitched int, so you have to cut it off if you want only a vest. There's not much else to say, other than I can't help but appreciate It.

"This vest is very very awesome! I've had this vest for 5 months and I love this vest to death but it does come with some cons however...
Pros:
Very nice fitting
Very protective
Neck guard is a huge plus
Good for keeping warm in cold weather and staying cool in warm weather

Cons:
Neck guard if you have a mask instead of a standard helmet and goggles (Cant look down, but it is removable)
Buckles are fragile (One broke yesterday and im very sad it happened, looking to see if they can be replaced)
The pistol mag pouch on the chest is very loose, put a pistol mag into it and test it out before going onto the field and losing a mag like me...
The shoulder guards buckle on and they look like flaps, they dont wrap around arm

I still love this vest to bits and I highly recommend it to a friend, just be a little gentle with the buckles! I wish I could rate this 4.5 stars!

"This is an okay vest. The main reason that I bought this is that it could hold 6 AK magazines. It cannot do this however so I was extremely disappointed. Other than that it is okay. It works well with with m4 mags however so thats great. It is good as long as you don't use an AK so. Yeah.

"I got this vest a while ago and could make a few games with it. This vest is very nice, but is not flawless.

Pros :
- Well padded. Protects well. Excellent for users who doesn't like pain!
- Built rather small. I feel a bit loose in it while only wearing a T-shirt (I weigh 140 pounds). I think wearing a bit more thick clothes would do the trick.
- Velcro patches are a nice addition.

Cons :
- I could hardly fit 2 PMAGs in a single pouch. They aren't easy to fit in AND to take out. I wonder how they perform with ranger plates though.
- You cannot configure it the way you want. You can't add or remove pouches. It has enough room for smaller fights, but you are limited in what you can carry.
- A bit expensive, but if you compare it to a chest rig, which you have to buy pouches, this vest has the advantage for its protection ability.

I'd recommend this vest for CQBs because you're not affected by its capacity limit and its excellent protection. I'd also recommend this for smaller people.

"I really like this vest, but it does have it's cons and pros:

Pros:
Tan
-Light desert tan, to bright for the woods
Installed pouches and lots of velcro
40mm grenade bandolier style pouch (also fits bayonets)
Lot's of protection
-IT ALSO COMES WITH GROIN PAD. You can flip if inside the vest if you want it too, it stays with velcro. Non removable though, but it's no trouble when you conceal it inside the vest
-The front neck brace piece is also removable
Hydration carrier in the back (I use it as a backpack sometimes)
Easy adjustment
-BEST FOR NOT-VERY-TALL PEOPLE if you want to you use the groin pad
Worth more than what your buying it for
-The vest+pouches would normally cost around $100
Very nice feel
-Feel cushiony on the inside, very thick armor
-Soft armor=more flexibility, easier on your back
SUPER lightweight
-My baby brother weighs more!

Cons:
I wish there were more pouches and MOLLE weavings for more customization
The rifle pouches on the bottom aren't too universal
-Difficult to pull out a magazine if you dual stack it, best to use only one magazine in each pouch.
-Magpul's/magazine assists won't fit if you put two magazines
