Matrix Delta Force Style Body Armor Shell Vest (Color: Olive Drab)

"I am a skinny little guy but I got this as my first airsoft vest and I am soooooooo happy with it. I have only played one game with it but it works like a charm. It’s very durable considering how cheap it is and looks good on ACU ABU and OCP military uniforms. 9.9999999/10 great buy!

"This is a nice vest I got is 2 weeks ago and it has done good at feilds. 10/10

"befoe we start, i have a 1991 Gulf War kit, so consider the gear n everything before reading the rest.


amazing plate carrier

pros:
slim
works great with ALICE gear
comes with an American flag patch
perfect for that old school delta kit
perfect for that Battle of Mog kit (Blackhawk Down)
fits real plates well and comfortably
no molle

cons:
head hole adjustment is a little complicated and takes a bit to adjust

"I am very satisfied with this mask. As a skinner guy at 5' 10", this vest fits mostly comfortably and wraps around my body well, protecting majority of my body while giving me the mobility to comfortably rush on the airsoft field. This vest serves its function, taking out any feeling of being shot at point-blank on the vest. The velcro also has enough space to hold about 3-4 other patches as well.

That being said, there is not much downside to this vest. For one, it is difficult to undo and redo the shoulder strappings to separate both parts of the vest. Should one decide that they want to keep them together, he or she might find it a bit difficult to slip their head in and out of the head hole. The only other "issue I might have is that it is slightly uncomfortable to sit down with this vest on.

Despite its negatives, I would highly recommend this vest to casual players, as it has mobility and absorbs the shock of about any airsoft gun.

"For somebody who's Asian and 5,3 this didn't really fit my body well. Maybe if you're ~5-5 or something since this is very tall. Otherwise it's a good product!

"Review: Matrix Delta Force Style Body Armor Shell Vest w/ US Flag Patch

All I have to say about this vest is WOW. I got this vest to build a Mexican military loadout, and to see how durable the vest is I threw in my AR500 plates in to see how long it would last, and so far after a good three months with the plates in the vest me wearing it with them in, running jumping, the velcro did not give up and held them in tight and both plates weigh in at eleven pounds each. So far it's lasted and is still going strong I will say wearing this vest for a long time will make anyone sweat, and depending on how tight one wears the vest it can get uncomfortable. and last but not least it comes with a 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" American Flag.

Pros:
light
velcro
comes in Black, OD, Tan,
can be used for a Black Hawk Down loadout, PMC, Police loadout.
can hold steel plates.
Comes with a velcro American Flag.

Cons:
can be tight on certain body builds
uncomfortable when worn for a long time
No MOLLE. ( their is an upgrade vest on Evike for around $50 that does have MOLLE.)
can get hot during the day (especially the black vest.)

"Got this vest in the mail yesterday and it is well worth 28 bucks! The vest is fully adjustable and comes with a American flag patch and a lancer tactical patch. This vest is made by lancer tactical. It comes with two plates one in the front is a little smaller than the back.
Pros
Adjustable
Well built
A lot of Velcro room for patches
2 patches included
Cons
No MOLLE
Plates included are a hard foam and very flimsy
That is it overall I give this vest 5 stars I bought a 3 m4 mag insert which works very well with the vest. Would suggest you buy it. Great beginner vest or a great lightweight vest for more skilled players.

"So i'm 5,2 and finding a vest is realy hard enough. This body armor shell vest however, does manage to do it's job however, it's a really tight fit on the head area which hurts sometimes when you put it on. And as well as it went down all the way my stomach region so yeah I assume it's because body armor?

Overall, this product is very firm and not so flexible. This is a good vest if you're playing gamemodes such as like protect the VIP but I do not reccomend if you're a run and gun type of person. Very constricting and tight.

"I just got this vest today. I do like the feel but the only down thing about it is, I was told that it would come with the dummy plates but it just came with foam cut outs. Lets see its makes it to my loadout gear or my backup. Thanks evike:)

P.S. Mine came with the flag. lil long for my taste but it will work.

"There are no reviews for this product, so I thought I would type one up. First off, it's a great value coming in under $30. With that in mind, don't expect a lot, but for it's purpose, it's a pretty good product. I use it in conjunction with a Condor MCR4 chest rig and looks and functions pretty nice.

PROS

*GOOD CONSTRUCTION-SOME LOOSE THREADS, BUT THE MATERIAL IS TOUGH AND ISN'T SHINY LIKE OTHER BODY ARMOR SHELLS.

*PROTECTS WELL- IT'S MADE OF DENSE NYLON AND IT COMES WITH PLATES-ONE SOFTER INTEGRATED ONE IN THE FRONT AND A HARDER REMOVABLE FOAM ONE IN THE BACK.

*GREAT VALUE AT UNDER $30

*EASY ADJUSTMENT VIA VELCRO-NICE CLOSE FIT FOR ME(I'M 5'5" AND UNDER 130 POUNDS)

*FAIRLY LIGHTWEIGHT

CONS

*DOES NOT BREATHE WELL-NOT MUCH VENTILATION SO IT COULD GET HOT

*A LITTLE BULKY/BOXY IN THE SHOULDERS-SOME OPERATOR CUTS WOULD APPRECIATED TO BETTER SHOULDER MY RIFLE

*NO US FLAG PATCH IS INCLUDED WITH THE DEFCON VERSION

OVERALL IT'S A NICE VEST AT A GREAT VALUE. NOTE: THE VEST MAY NOT ACCOMMODATE LARGER FRAMES.

"I bought this a number of years ago and it has suited me fine. It comes with two hard foam inserts as "plates" which I removed for a closer fit. The Velcro on the front is very useful for attaching patches obviously, but also for any Velcro-backed pouches. Hard to find nowadays with MOLLE being so big. One issue I found is the lack of Velcro on the back panel. I bought adhesive-backed Velcro that I placed on the there for other pouches and patches. Over-all a great product. I gave it 4/5 stars because though it is good, it is of lower quality due to it's airsoft use.

"I bought this because I was interested in a soft armor carrier and couldn't find any reviews mentioning whether it could take soft armor.

The good news, is that the it is set up so that you can pull the foam and replace with soft armor, I am not sure what size would fit I have large BALCS soft armor and it does not fit, but medium might.

"i got this vest and fielded it twice now. i have to say for the price you can't go wrong necessarily. This body vest (cause its not a plate carrier, i will get to it later) fits in most 2 strap chest rigs with ease, so if you have a chest rig and you want a cheap chest protector by all means yes. THIS IS NOT A PLATE CARRIER, the vest has 2 insert areas where you can put dummy pads, but between the fabric of the vest is a hard (in respect to fabrics of course) plate that does not like to form to the body. I have tried to loosen it, tried water cause why not, and even just wearing it excessively. After a while it got slightly better but its still an issue if you want a nice fitting vest. The next issue is putting on the vest, as you can see there is a neck hole with shoulder straps. Those shoulder straps un-velcro and then opens up the hole more to fit your hat holder (head) through. This is perhaps the most poorly designed system i have seen in a long while.Finally there is the flag patch. The patch that is illustrated on the web sight is not what i got, but instead i have a nearly 3 times the size flag that are the colors of a nice mapley bacon... won't lie it's pretty cool.
Pro:
protects chest
fits chest rigs
BACON FLAG
plenty of velcro space on the chest
durable enough
cheap
Cons:
uncomfortable
no mollie (cause you could always need some)
not easy to put on
