"Very decent for the price. RPK mags fit very good in the pouches. Even for younger players, this still fits pretty good. I'm very happy with this purchase.

"Bought with condor hydration pack and just hangs off the back no stress or constant banging of bladder. Rig has a lot of great room in the pockets two one AK mag to two. I threw in some m4 mags that are a tool set and speed loader both fit snug together. Side pockets are wonderful and fist size so grenades to anything spare will fit well. Top pocket can fit a pistol or two.. quick lengthy yet very cool design. Overall very comfortable and fits my skinny body well

"It's a comfortable and solid rig.
I wear it every Saturday and give it a rough time.
Pros:
-Loads of capacity without being clunky
-1 year so far and no issues
-buttons as backup for when the velcro finally fails
-not uncomfortable
Con:
-no back protection - During milsims, I will throw a backpack on over it. It's not comfortable with backpack but it works

"This is an amazing chest rig, I use the black version. No problem’s whatsoever. You can snuggily fit 3 m4 mags and comfortably fit 2 m4 mags. Used this in over 10 full day games, works great, comfortable and is not loose when properly fitted.
Overall, I’m very happy with the product. For $28 what more could you ask? It’s an incredible price for an incredible product.

"Let me start out by saying this a decent product for the money you're spending. I bought the black version, came exactly as pictured (without the lancer tactical logo). This thing is sturdy, fielded it at 2 skirmish games so far, I did beat this thing up pretty good and it's held together (crawled on forest floor, snagged by trees, mud covered). All in all a steady rig that keeps it simple.
Pros
+Can hold up to 12 AK Mags (pouches on the side can hold 2 each for an added 4 in total)
+Can squeeze another ak mag in the pockets to make the pouches a triple stack if you need to
+Can triple stack M4 mags ( 18 mag capacity)
+Straps are adjustable ( big guy, 5,10 260 Ibs fits great)
+Pouches have large velcro and two button tabs to keep pouches in place
Cons
-Comes with a foam insert almost like a mock plate to retain it's shape along the chest, ends up getting in the way. To remove it you just have to open the pocket behind the mag pouches, cut a hole in the inner liner, cut the foam in half and pull it through the open hole.
-Paint chips off the buttons fairly easily (not even a con really)
-atraps for the buckles on the side pouches can come out if enough force is applied, fixed with tape around the end of the buckle strap
Overall review: Good little chest rig, fits all sizes, works beyond it's stated capacity. A good buy!

"These chest rigs are simply fantastic for the money, and they're one of the most versatile setups out there when it comes to fitting magazines. This is great if you're like me and collect lots of different guns so you have tons of magazine styles to worry about carrying.
Not only will these easily fit 2 full size AK mags per pouch as claimed, but will handle pretty much anything else you can throw at them too. For instance you can actually fit an RPK length mag along with a regular AK mag(2 RPK mags is a bit too much though) in each pouch and still get a good amount of hook and loop so its secure. You can fit 2 P90 mags in each pouch as well, also with enough overlap to feel secure. I suspect each pouch could easily handle a Bizon mag based on the dimensions though I don't have one yet to confirm this. UMP mags might even work too.
Any .308 sized mags like M14, SCAR, or even SR25 are not a problem. 4 full size MP5 mags will fit per pouch and you can even get the snap closed. And it goes without saying these will hold any AR mags you care to try, including extended mags. Standard water bottles fit beautifully in each pouch as well. If there's any downside it's that the pouches are so deep you kinda have to fish out mags if they're shorter. For instance Dragunov mags fit just fine but only fill about half the pouch.
As for comfort, there's a wide range of adjustment so you can get the weight sitting right where you want it. The should straps are nice and slim so they stay of the way while shouldering a rifle. And when you attach it to a belt especially it feels really secure and comfortable. I use it with the "Condor Tactical Pistol Belt w/ Mag Pouches" which compliments it well, and can also be found here on Evike.
Quality seems more than good enough for the price and should last for quite a few games.
Don't hesitate, just buy it.

"Pretty solid rig. Durable, plenty of storage room for mags or otherwise. It's a little small for me, but I'm also a taller person (and the straps are adjustable, so it's not a huge issue). Perfectly suitable as a beginner or casual rig, a solid 8/10 from me.

"Good quality and an ok fit. I would recommend this.

"NOTE: I am not a Professional.
I'm a "Newb" to airsoft, just started about a month ago. I didn't want to invest to much, because my field only holds airsoft once a month, and I don't plan to go to every event I could possibly go to/be active in it as much as many youtubers.
But onto my opinion. Being that this is my first chest rig -
It's not bad.
-AK Mag's fit perfect. Two "admin" pouches.
-Velcro can get dirty but it has Metal buttons to clip if that becomes the case.
-Clips are plastic, but what do you expect. Haven't had any break but, it's a possibility.
-Easy to adjust fit and has elastic bands to hold slack.
It's not meant to be top of the line- but It's good and holds up to the job.

"I got this for my tan load out for my Rpk stlye play. I got this because it was affordable and did the job I wanted it to do. After getting it from the mail I was SUPRISED! It was not bad cheap material like what the picture is showing. It looked like a lot more than what I paid for.
Overall: this is great but has minor issues like the straps in the back sometimes hurt your neck. And of course your back hurts at the end of the day with being front heavy all day unless you wear a backpack.
4/5 stars

"This is an OK chest-rig. Ive used mainly as loaner gear for if a friend or family wants to tag along. Ive also used it a handful of times myself for those days I dont feel like dressing up in my PC and such.
Pros:
-Good chest-rig especially for the price
-It'll last you a long time
-perfect for beginner players that are on a budget
-Holds lots of mags (Can hold 8 ak mags or 12 m4 mags comfortably)
-Light weight and comfortable
-Adjustable so fits most
Cons:
-Stitching started to get un-done the handful of times I've used it
-Really hate it when companies slap their name on merchandise you're buying. It's like free advertisement. Ive removed the logo since I got it.
-Straps can become a tad bit uncomfortable after long periods of wearing it

"Good enough for the quick Russian Adidas loadout I bought it for. Unfortunately, mine came missing a strap. Just plastic buckles connected to... nothing. Can't be bothered to ask for a refund or defect - which I'm sure Lancer/Evike would honor - as I can just fix it myself without all the hassle. Not shocked that quality control is poor for such a cheap item, but I own two Lancer Tactical JPCs and they're fantastic. Also, I guess lucky me, because at the cost of a missing waist strap, mine doesn't have the Lancer Tactical logo on any of the mag pouches. In fact, there are no brandings anywhere. At all. Not even a tag of any kind. Huh.
Pros: It's cheap, it'll hold eight AK mags plus some more stuff in the decently-sized side compartments, and if you don't need that many mags, you can use the empty mag pouches to hold water bottles.
Cons: Missing components, doesn't look like it'll last long, but again, it was only $20.
Meh. Hasn't hurt my opinion of Lancer Tactical gear, but I'll definitely be shying away from this really cheap stuff from now on.
