Matrix Modular MOLLE Chest Rig / Plate Carrier w/ Integrated Mag Pouches (Color: Black)

"I purchased this vest as a budget loadout build from a local brick and mortar and couldnt be happier. One thing I should address. Well two technically. With respect to sizing: One, this is a plate carrier. Two, it has built in hydration bladder support. Taking these into account, yes this vest will bounce without plates and a full bladder. That extra space (on an average 6' less than 200lb. person) is to account for these things. Quality wise, my only concern is to how long the plastic d-rings will support my m4 on a y harness after long hours of highly active play. Would have prefered sewn in bungee restraints over velcro for the mags, but as a DMR build, I dont intend to let many people close enough for noise to be a major concern. Overall MORE than a value at this price.

"Amazing Vest, tons of customizability, and you don't need to buy mag pouches because the vest comes with them normally. My only complaint is that it is a bit big on me, but then again i had a slender build so take that at a grain of salt. Otherwise great vest!

"I got this vest about 6 months ago, it has gone into countless battles, and it has never failed me. This vest is very reliable, also it is cheap.

pros:
-cheap
-lots of molle space
-built-in mag pouches fits perfectly (at least it does on me)
-all kinds of "secret pouches" throughout

cons:
-mag pouches are not the best
-smells funky

Overall, it is a great vest, GET IT

"This vest i completely versatile in that it can adjust to your weight and height pretty well. It has adjustable straps around the waist and on the shoulder letting you adjust the height and circumference of the vest. The magazine pouches are too versatile, being that they can fit tall magazines such as mp7 mp5 or p90 mags. On the inside of the pouch they can fit wide magazines such as m4/m16 or g36s mags. There is a lot of molle on this vest. The entire back is covered with molle, the front has molle above and below the magazine pouches. Right above the magazines is a compartment for mainly anything. I use it as a dump pouch, but it can't fit too much, maybe 2 m4 mags and a thunder b.

Overall it is a comfortable vest ideal for cqb. I do not regret my purchase for this vest. I transitioned from one of those crappy utg vests to this one and i am pleased with the fact that nothing is unstable on this thing. On that vest i would just have stuff fall off it and nothing would hold properly. Everything is nice and tight on this vest however. Another thing i really like about this vest is the fact that i don't have to play around with it while pulling/placing a mag. If you do use a wider magazine like a g36 mag, you may have some slight trouble pulling/placing a magazine into the pouch, but no worries it will just take you a little longer to reload, all you might have to do is look down at your pouch while reloading.

"This vest is pretty great for the price. I don't really like the mag pouches, specifically the retention system, but it's probably not necessary anyway. I'm pretty skinny and it's only a little loose so that is good. If this is your price limit it's great vest but you might consider something more high quality.

"Pro-
1.lightweight
2. Built in mag holders
3. Integrated bladder pouch
4.cheap

Con-
1. Very loose
2. No room for plates

Over all great buy

"I guess i should be the first one to review this... This vest fit my low budget needs perfectly. I wanted a customizable vest but didn't have to buy mag pouches. I am 5,8 125lbs (i am the son reviewing this) and it wobbles like crazy if u don't put plates in. i stuffed 3 pieces of cardboard up front and 4 in the back and it still jumps around. Don't get me wrong, i love this rig but there are some design flaws. First off, one of the buttons popped off one of the straps. Also, its not easily adjusted. it took me months to fix. I guess i'll move into the standard pros and cons.
Pros : budget-friendly
Decent Material
no need to buy mag pouches
nice color
Cons : bounces around
weak buttons
hard to tighten
And that concludes it. I love this vest but i think it needs a slight update
