Matrix S.D.E.U. Ultra Light Weight Airsoft Tactical Vest (Color: Tan)

"This vest is rugged, reliable, and aggressive-looking. The whole platform is incredibly lightweight, has excellent padding where it counts and is well-constructed. However, it's very difficult for a person with a larger frame to secure the velcro attachments on the sides; I've solved this problem. I have sewn on large loop velcro panels to the sides of the vest, filling in the open spaces where velcro was not originally placed, allowing the vest to be secured in place on a larger, taller individual. The fasteners on the upper arm pads were more like lanyard clips than buckle snaps, this was a little disappointing but still very workable. I removed the clips and looped the webbing through the vest's shoulder D-rings, eliminating potential damage to the clips (which are currently being recycled into light-load lanyards).

A word on functionality... I paired this vest off with a Condor H-harness with rigger's belt and MOLLE platform, it sits comfortably above the whole affair and the rigs do not interfere with one another, however, the groin panel cannot be deployed in this configuration. Since the vest's front pouches only hold a total of three magazines, the Condor rig with its increased storage is the perfect complement to it. The entire vest rig is quite intimidating when first encountered; some players will be awestruck, others will be startled. Used correctly, it is a very streamlined system, providing storage and hydration, and a fair shake of badass factor thrown in.

4/5 awarded, only because it's a liiiittle on the small side.

PROS:

Lightweight, breathable, full range of motion
Velcro panels for ID and morale patches
Built-in admin panel, built-in hydration carrier
Built-in groin protection panel
Intimidation factor: Resembles heavy level-III armor

CONS:

Requires modification for larger builds
Arm pad clips seem quite fragile
Tactical spork sold separately (dejected facial expression)

"This is an awesome plate carier. when using it in an airsoft war although it got a little hot with my bdu on it worked amazingly. I am short like 5'4 so it fits me perfect but if your tall it might be a bit short. i love it but now that i have it it would be nice to have molle. I use a p90 as a secondary for my super long dmr masada and the mags dont fit in the vest. its really not a big deal though because i just got a drop leg molle rig and put a p90 mag pouch and a flashbang pouch(it doesnt hold those either) you also need a dump pouch. my bdu has huge drawstring cargo pouches so i use those but most people cant. you could just attach it to the bottom strap on the stretch part or mount it on a belt so over all if you can think outside the box and use a gun that is 5.56 as a primary this vest will serve you well.
Pros
Full protection
holds 6 m4 mags
40mm grenade loop
hadration pouch and hose loop
does not limit range of motion

Cons
no molle
thats it!

"It is very nice for medium range skirmish and indoor. The arm pads seems alittle out of place, the three pouches can fit many type of magazines and the neck guard and the groin guards are great for CQB

pros
looks nice
comfortable
high level protections
well made Velcro easy to adjust
nice pouches
extra location apparently for a grenade

cons
no camoflauge AT ALL
weak materials so it can rip from high powered guns or during close range

"I just got this vest today and I love it! It is very lightweight and the pouches seem well made, but the crotch protector sits a little high.

pros:
lightweight
well made
comfortable
matches ok with ACU colored clothing (OD version)
some parts removable
velcro parts allow for larger people

cons:
crotch protector is high (could be because I'm 6'2")
shoulder pads hurt after a while
neck protector gets annoying while prone

Overall good vest. I recommend for shorter people (like 5'5"-5'9"). 4 out of 5 because crotch protector (but thats just my case).

"This vest is good but maybe slightly over priced, The shoulder pads are not designed very well and after playing can move around making arm movement cumbersome. The look is a deff. A+ giving off a "negotiator" or "Juggernaut" look. Very lightweight and really form fits the body making it very comfortable.

Note: there are not a lot of ways to expand this to hold extra mags or gear what you see is pretty much what you get.

"this vest is would be perfect if they made it in MARPAT or Desert MARPAT cause in these colors you stick out like a sore thumb. but overall this vist ROCKS!

PROS:
nice and snug (on me at least)
great for CQB
neck/shoulder pads are removable
built-in hydration carrier (saves you money)
great price for a vest like this

CONS:
crappy fabric colors to chose from. no camo! bad for outdoors!

"YES! This is the vest I have been waiting for! It looks amazing! Holds AK mags pretty snug and GUESS WHAT!!! No plastic teeth like on my other vest for people to shoot off easily! It's a really good vest!

Pros:
-No plastic teeth to get easily shot off and unable to zip after that!
-Velcro so it's pretty adjustable to your weight class
-Fits my AK mags like a charm
-Looks awesome
-I can put my team patch right on my arm and it look actually pretty cool

Cons:
-Well about the only thing I can think of is that for some people this vest MIGHT be too small...I say might because I don't know exactly it could fit just fine..

Great Vest buy it!

"I just got this vest and I love the intimidation factor of it. The only thing that is wrong with it is that I'm 6'2" and it is a little short but the picture doesnt show the crotch protector that is hidden inside the vest. With this down it fits me fine. All in all a good buy for anyone that wants to have the "badass" look on the batlefield or if you just want to carry alot of ammo and take alot of punishment

"nahh im 5' and it fits me pretty well. it doesnt come with the patch or a crotch protector but is very lightweight and its great that it comes with a neck guard

"this is a great vest over all its light and comfy. the reason that i gave it a 4/5 is because that the flag shown in the picture is not included. I also recommend that you go buy one of those "Matrix Velcro U.S. Flag Patch" or the vest looks very ugly without it

"This vest is perfect for someone who has an M-4 or an AK with a 203. The vest can hold extra grenades and your extra clips so its perfect!!

"it gets pretty small.
mines too small for me like the first guy said its not made for tall people. it is very very bulky and sometimes restricts my movements.
im not a fat person so its kinda loose on me. its a great vest i get what they were going for when making it but its just not for me.....or tall people.

"just wondering, how small can it get? because I'm not a very big person
