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

"Super solid vest, good for the price, is a little small so if you are a big person may be difficult to put on, comes with a crotch protector but if you are over like 6 feet tall doesn’t go down far enough, but not to the point where it looks super awkward. Also comes with those arm protectors which are nice, the neck protector isn’t super comfy but you can just take it off if you don’t want it, obviously a more heavy duty vest so will get hot on summer days, overall super nice and not too expensive for what your getting.

"I've had this vest for years now, and I love it. It really completes my heavy support/ Machine Gunner kit. It really softens the blow from BBs, but you can still hear them hit you. Perfect for anyone wanting to feel like a juggernaut without getting a huge suit of armor.

"for the price this is outstanding compared to everything else in the 80 dollar range

"Freakin amazin quality! I’m very very happy of my purchase!

"I cannot express how much I love this vest. It's comfortable (with exceptions), looks awesome, is super practical and tactical, and super mobile. The pouches are definitely not double M4 pouches, but they can fit my Odin Innovations M12 speed loader with a little effort. At first the vest felt like it sat too high (5'9", 145lbs), but I'm pretty sure that's on purpose since crouching and twisting isn't hard whatsoever. It doesn't affect my mobility at all and weighs very little. Everything I didn't mention works as expected.

My only complaints are it can get pretty hot and sweaty (especially with the shoulder/arm pads on) and my big head had a hard time fitting in and out of it. I slightly remedied the hot/sweaty issue by not tightening the vest (not the inner Velcro) so it's snug and leaving a little breathing room. The only way I could fix the narrow neck was by cutting two, two-inch slits on either side of the neck protector's Velcro attachment. Otherwise, this vest is amazing.

As a side note, the padding of the vest is more than enough to completely remove any sting from airsoft pellets, but they impact loud enough for you to easily hear them.

I would definitely recommend this vest if you wanted something a little unique looking or don't want a standard plate carrier or chest rig. Only wish it came in a camo of some sort and had MOLLE on the back.

"Oh man! Where to begin! I bought this vest last month, am yet to field it, but holy cow is this thing comfortable! I initially bought it cause I thought it looked cool, with the arm guards and stuff, but man: this thing rocks! It will also double well for a Solid Snake cosplay in the future. Enough chit-chat though!
• Pros
+ Lightweight
+ 3 pouches for M4 mags (haven’t gotten my ak yet, so can’t tell if they’ll fit in there)
+ Arm Guards are easy to adjust (looks badass)
+ Has TWO sets of adjustable Velcro for your torso (one cummerbund starting from the back, and the outside/front to side set.)
+ comes with a removable throat protector (removed it anyway)
+ hugs you tight (keeps you pretty warm actually)
+ Velcro points EVERYWHERE (On both sides of your collar. On your chest, and on the arm guards. Allowing you to put patches wherever your little heart desires.)
+ empty back pouch (can put something thin, or even a camelbak in it)
+ functional drag handle on the back (haven’t tested it, hopefully it’s durable enough if someone were to drag me during a milsim game.)

• Cons
- part of the rear collar is crimped, probably just UPS’ fault (probably got creased during shipping)
- Description says you can fit 6 mags. Not true. But do you really need more than 3 mags? (Currently using a GBB M4, so I can only fit 3 mags in each pouch anyway.
- So popular, it’s out of stock all the time! (Not really a con)

Conclusion? GET ONE OF THESE! They're always out of stock because of how awesome it is!
Pros outweigh the cons!
GET ONE!

"Great vest! Looks great, fits well, and the shoulders have kept the bb welts at bay! the only con I have for it is that I'm tall (around 6'2) and the vest is a bit short, but not laughably short. All the pouches are perfect, and kept the mags for my rifle locked in tight, but not so tight I couldn't get them back (FAL magazines). The hydration pouch was very handy as well. Overall I love the vest and would definitely buy it again!

"I was going to buy this vest online but I was sceptical about its size. I heard in other videos that the vest was really small and you had to be careful on height and weight. Since I live near the evike warehouse I decided to go down and try the vest on myself. I am 5'7" and 130 pounds, I'm not a small guy but I'm not that big either and the vest felt snug on me. The vests length went down to half my stomach. If you are taller than 5,9" 5,"10 you probably will find the vest small.But the small size makes the vest really snug and makes it so it doesn't wiggle around when you're running. This vest is made for smaller people so if you're a bigger guy looking at this vest I would recommend something else.

"One of the best airsoft vests I've ever owned. Very lightweight and versatile with great coverage. Also it has storage literally everywhere it's amazing hands down

"Bladder pouch in the back is great, neck guard is helpful. Also has optional crotch protector and detachable shoulder pads. Awesome vest.

"This vest is moist and flavorful. five stars!

PROS:
-makes you look fantastically bad-a
-carries everything you need in an average game
-I can see it fitting on almost anyone

CONS:
-As soon as you put it on you are wearing a miniature oven and your the turkey
-straps are tricky to figure out and are difficult to put on by your self
-neck piece kinda uncomfortable

small side note when you put this on don't put it on as tight as you can this is a vest not a corset. put it on loosely so you can still move and breathe comfortably. all in all great job Evike. I am one heak of a satisfied customer

"Very well built vest that has lots of Velcro for adjustments ( fit my 13 year old and fits me ) overall very good vest it will be my go to vest

Pros - Hydration Bladder
Holds many mags
Adjustable as to what you want on and off ( neck and arm guards etc. )
For the size its very light
Has room for grenades and other pouches

Cons - Lack of pistol holster ( no big deal )
No other cons

"After using this vest for a couple months, I must say this is by far the best vest I've ever had.
The vest itself fits very snug and secure, or at least for me (5'10", 130 lbs) and the "shoulder" (more like bicep) pads are a nice addition and really give this vest a unique and intimidating look. The chin/neck guard also definitely add to the appearance factor, and are quite functional and have quite literally saved my neck on more than one occasion. The mag pouches are a little tight but have fit every M4 and AK mag that I've run across. They're also useful for holding other things, like flashlights, extra batteries, etc.
The vest itself is very sturdy and is surprisingly quite agile and doesn't impact movement, and can actually be very quiet if the bicep-pads are removed. The hydration pouch on the back is a nice touch, and can squeeze in a smaller HPA tank, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Overall, this is a very functional and well-built vest, and is definitely worth the money.
