14 Customer Reviews

"My boyfriend and I were looking for matching vests for our Umbrella Corps cosplay. He's actually very into airsoft, so his was more needed as an upgrade to his older one. He couldn't be happier. His comments:

Pros- Secure, snug fit, it feels like your wearing something worth while. The mag pouches hold two M4 hicaps a piece, so field reloading is set, the medic pouch holds an lot, and a balanced. It's easily adjustable as well. Solid stitching, and the map pouch has an extra slide in non closable pouch that's perfect for your phone. The rear MOLLE is great, as well as the removable front to expose a clear MOLLE setup. The massive rear hydration pocket is great, I can run two separate bladders. One water, the other a sports drink for longer playing.

Cons- The only issue, the same as everyone else... The pistol holster is in a terrible position. I use it as my last resort weapon and just use a drop thigh rig.

All in all, people have commented on our vests, as they are patched up, and great fitting. They are a great price for what you're getting.

"This vest is awesome! It comes with everything u need and is capable of changing all out to make your own custom load out. Velcro for the win!!! The side pouch can fit a whole can of 2000 bbs. The only con is the pistol holster has a pretty far reach. I would definetly reccomend this vest.

"This vest is awesome!! I got it a few days ago, and it was well worth the money. The vest is adjustable, which is great since I'm tall, and also, it fits rather snugly if you adjust it right. The holster is decent but takes some effort to get to. Overall. 5 out of 5. Great product.

"I just got it today "YES" And im happy with this vest this is my frist vest and it will be my last it fits great and dosent have weight too it. And if you got an ak the clips they do fit in the pouches. Two mags fix in the pouches so thats 6 mags. The pouche on the right holds two mag also so you can have 8 mags. Plus if you got a p90 buy their p90 upgread (box mag) and then you dont have to get p90 clips. it eazy too get out you pistol out of the holster. All in all i give it a 5 out of 5! THANKS EVIKE.COM

"Just got the vest as a new one for getting back into airsoft its lightweight and comfortable with a nice design but the i am 5 foot 9in and 130lb the vest needed to be pretty much maxed out on pulling the straps to adjust size so have straps flopping and where the pistol goes and pouch on sides were so far back I can't really reach them. So if you are around that size best to find a different one

"The construction of this vest is excellent and it fits me very well with plenty of room for adjustment (i'm very skinny but 5' 10"). The mag holders are great, a little stiff at first. The pistol mag holders actually hold my USP mags super well which has been hard to find in other vests.

My main issue with this vest is the cross draw holster. I think its pretty much impossible for me to actually draw my sidearm from it. its just at an impractical angle to reach. The sides of the vest can also come up pretty far, almost in your armpits depending on how you have yours setup. This also causes some issues with the cross draw. Its a shame because its a very nice, secure holster too.

It is a very well made vest, just a shame that the sidearm holster doesn't detach separately from the rest of the variable front.

I was able to get a grenade pouch between the mags and utility pouch for my tornado which is a great plus.

Id love to see different front plates sold with other options on them.

"I just recieved this vest today and so far I like it. I will probably give it another review once it's been "field tested". This is what I have seen so far:

Pros:
-Light weight
-Customizable
-Built-in admin pouch with 40MM granade holder
-Comes with pouches
-Price

Cons:
-Does not take plates
-Pistol holster hard to reach
-It's kinda short on me, but I'm 6'1" 185 lbs.

Overall great deal for the price.

"I just got this vest today and after looking at it for 2 seconds I could tell that it was of very high quality.

The magazine pouches feel real nice and it is very comfortable. The only problem I have with the vest is

with the cross draw holster. It is a really far reach and it is tough to get your pistol quickly.

If you have short arms and are looking to utilize the cross draw holster, do not get this vest!

"This vest is OKAY but not great. I'm 5'9" and 200 lbs. and it felt pretty constricting even after adjusting. It feels heavy after a while and I get really hot in it too. The pistol holster is no good. Its hard to reach and my pistol fell out during a fight and I never found it, there goes 100 bucks. It provides great ballistic protection though. I had a BB grenade explode right next to me and I felt nothing.

Pros:
Great protection.
Integrated mag holsters and pouch.

Cons:
Pistol holster is no good and cannot be removed.
TOO HOT!
Made for slim people only.

"first off i liked the vest lots but i found that the holster hard to reach and Im 5'7 and have long arms. Another thing is the molle on the velcro is ugly personal preference but just saying. Also the mag pouches are kind of big Im talking about the flaps covering the mags they scratch my neck when I open them. When I bought this it was a bad idea.
