Bravo Tactical Gear Special Force Body Armor (Color: Ranger Grey)

"I have both the Grey and Tan models, the tan color is pretty ugly and looks just like a ace bandage wrapped around your chest IMO. I have had the tan vest longer and used it more and recently got the grey model. The grey looks more realistic and practical to use on the field. It blends better with buildings and even woodland than the bright tan model. They have held up well after over two years use from the tan model. Good for younger airsofters who don't wear plate carrier to keep scares off chest from cqb shots or even snipers who want a vest to reduce chest scars. Material quality is excellent and I regularly receive compliments on my vest. This item isn't a MAP item so you can get the 25% off code to work!

"If you have been contemplating getting this, go for it. I greatly enjoyed wearing it today, and it got lots of compliments. I wore my normal Fereday chest rig (Rhodesian-look it up) over it with no trouble. It is light enough that it adds very little to you load, but works wonders for CQB.

I'm 6'2", 211#, and average build, fwiw. It is just a notch higher above my navel (not naval) than I would prefer, but alles klar. Once it breaks in it's gonna be even better. The color and material has less luster than in the pic, and all that velcro makes a billboard for moral patches.

"This is great body armor if you are going for a SWAT or contractor look. The materials are rugged and won't fail on you. The elastic adjustment tabs make the armor extremely adjustable, and the side tabs are attached to side panels which add more protection. It also is a good thickness and fits under regular sized vest or chest rig. The interior is mesh padding and is light and breathable.

The sizing is great, I'm 5 foot 7 and it fits over my BDUs perfectly. Bigger people beware, it might sit a little high on you.

The "armor plates" inside the shell and side tabs (there are plastic plates inside the side tabs also) are flexible enough to be very comfortable, but are rigid enough to support the shell and hold its overall shape. Just make sure that the front is facing the front, because they are kinda easy to confuse and it is painful on your neck to wear backwards.

The only drawback is that the color is a light grey, and while it isn't unattractive it would look much better of it were a dark grey or black.

An amazing buy, very sturdy and comfortable. 9/10 stars for the light grey color

"Great vest. Does it everything it's supposed to do. Got mine for $5 off somebody. Get a MOLLE belt and a harness if you want a light weight loud out without taking much pain. Admit it you don't want to get shot without a vest

Pros: Great for those tactical looks
Offers good protection

Cons: No MOLLE

"4.8/5.0
Fits great under my gen 4 chest rig. I'm a slender guy ( 5' 9" @ 150 lb)and the only uncomfortable thing about it is the sides overlap. Which is kinda good because my kidneys are protected really well.

Pros
-Super soft.
-Light.
-Shot it at 15 ft with a 530 fps dm rifle and didnt leave a mark.
-Double stitching.
-plate customization(you can add or remove plates to increase bulkieness).


Cons
-Not TAN (more of a cream color...stands out in dark)
- Inside is white.

p.s. idk if bulkieness is a word but you know what i mean.

"I'm amazed by this thing. As someone who's shopping for both Airsoft gear AND movie props, this thing takes the cake, well worth the $40! With protection on the front, back, and sides, it's lightweight and flexible, easily concealed under clothing, and it can absorb just enough of the impact from a BB to where it won't sting, but to where you'll feel it, no doubt about it. While it doesn't have any MOLLE webbing on it, it does fit right underneath a chest rig beautifully (which is how I use it), so now you can have protection AND practicality. One thing that should be taken into account is that it won't fit very well on more "horizontally-challenged" people, so I'd say if your waist size is above mens' 40, look elsewhere.

PROS:
- Lightweight
- Fits almost all sizes
- Very comfortable
- Absorbs JUST enough BB impact
- Plates are removable.
- Uses all 9x12" plates
- Cheap!

CONS:
- No MOLLE webbing
- Not for the fat

NOTE: I noticed Mitchell had problems with shoulder movement, but I've had no such issues. For the broad-shouldered, this vest will work perfectly.

"so i love this thing. I got it for my PMC look, and its amazing. Right out of the package is wearable. There are two kinds of armor inserts in it. There are front and back soft inserts that take up the entire vest, then there are 9x12" "plates". The vest gets really warm with the soft inserts in, so i suggest taking them out, but leaving the "plates" in. Doing that also makes the vest less bulky, and I live in Southern California, so its already pretty warm down here. The "plates" are just a few millimeters of foam, but they do provide protection.
When the soft inserts are in, you will still feel the shot, but it wont sting, you just feel the force of it. With just the stock "plates" in, you feel it much better, but it still doesn't sting. They are also removable, so if you want to take out the protection entirely for just a look or something, or you can put better, harder plates in.
Its fully adjustable, so the vest wont move around during a game. It covers pretty much everything from your collar bone to the end of your ribs, so there is an area of a few inches that is exposed above your waist. That difference in coverage may change due to the wearer, because I'm over 6 foot, so it may cover your entire torso, or close to it on a shorter person.

also, there is no ballistic protection with this vest, even if you do put a legit plate in, it wont stop a bullet.

pros: It looks really cool
- fully adjustable
- Velcro strip on the chest for patches (i have my secret squirrel path there)
- you can still feel the shots
- soft inserts and "plates" are removable.
- Can take any 9x12" plate
- The Velcro is really strong, so it holds the vest in place

cons:
- gets warm with soft inserts
- kinda limits MY shoulder movement, but that may just be for me, due to my smaller shoulders
- soft inserts can sit a bit oddly in the vest, especially around the top of your shoulders and can get uncomfortable or just annoying. I would suggest taking them out and leaving the "plates".

"Great vest, it offers a lot of protection. It sits kind of high on the torso though. So if you get hit just below the bellybutton you'll feel it. That's not really a problem though. With the velcro straps you can get it as tight as you want it though, which I think is nice. Definitely a good buy for just $40.

"Awesome vest. Great for a prop or if you feel you need the extra protection in a game. Very comfortable and fits perfect.

"Owned mine for a few months now, used it 5 times three times in a CQB building, twice woodland pickup games. It fits nicely but it's really unpractical to use with anything that doesn't have a High Cap mag. I haven't found any way to put on some real magazine pouches other than to hang them from the stretchy material the side tighteners are made from, and that caused them to fray after about 20 minutes of running and even "stalking" targets.

Looks great, has excellent mobility, but I really wish their was MOLLE weave on the front so we at least had the option to use it in a functional mid cap setup. Hard to hear the hits if your hearing is a little impaired like mine.

Best for any player who prefers to use a High Cap mag most of the time, shotgun users, or handgun marksman's.

"Liked this vest alot works really well to it's a little small on me but I'm about 6'5 and 245 so that was to be expected still worked very well till I sold it awesome vest though and if your not my size buy this vest for $40 you can't go wrong
