"Just got this vest and it is great. Im a pretty big guy and it fits me no problem. The only thing i was suprised about is that the vest is a little shorter than i thought it would be. Other than that, this vest is awesome.

"This vest is amazing a little big but it wont bother you the only thing you you need is pouches.
by Brandon M. on 05/20/2008
"This is currently the vest that I use now and it is a little slender on me since i am 5'8 and 110 pounds. Two things I like about this vest is that it has a built in hydration pouch and the vest is able to carry 6 m4/m16 mags.

"AMAZING for larger players, but not for medium players and smaller. I bought this rig in hopes of playing this as my primary setup. However, upon arrival, I found out that at even the VERY smallest size, it had an inside circumference of 41 inches. I'm 6' 0" and I weight 175lbs, at my stomach I have a circumference of 35 inches, that translates to where I can comfortably fit both of my fists side-by-side and it would only then "fit."

Pros:
Seems durable and of good quality.
TONS OF MOLLE
Amazing rig for larger players

Cons:
It will be FAR too large for smaller to average players.
Pull-handle Velcro is kind of awkwardly mounted with it's folds (Velcro needs to be on opposite side of handle.

"Ok,so I got this chest rig just to get me into the game.The mag pouches are huge and can fit just about any type of magazine.At the moment I have a AUG and the pouches are so deep its a struggle to reload.If you have a m14 or similar size mag it will fit but again it will sit so low it wont touch the bungees.I suggest putting something at the bottom to fill the space so your mags make contact with the bungee cords,I ripped a cord out during my latest match struggling to get my deep seated mag out. Thats my biggest gripe with this rig,I will probably get something else to replace it since I got this just to get my foot in the door. It is otherwise fine and the hydration pouch can fit a 3 liter bladder but you need a way to insulate because you will make it warm.

"Overall a great chest rig, but be wary of the size, i'm quite skinny so it fits very loosely around me and there's no way to make it any smaller than medium. Still fits well enough fortunately.

"Good vest for a starter. It does have a few issues however. I am 6' at 235lbs.

Good:
No issues with durability after a few months of weekend use every weekend. Condor usually is plenty for airsoft use and this is no different. Looks good and performs well. The hydration carrier is large enough for my 3L bladder.

Bad:
The main issue I have that I would consider bad is the size of the mag pouches. I assume condor wanted to try to accommodate various size magazines however in doing so they have made them very deep. I run hexmag m4 mags and when seated to the bottom of the pouch they do not stick up out of the pouch at all. Will need a spacer to push the magazines high enough.

Indifferent:
This isn't a bad or good just what it is for the vest. At its smallest this vest fits me comfortably. The shoulder straps actually don't get quite tight enough to really make this sit at my chest but just under. So if you're a smaller guy then I would look elsewhere for a vest. If you can try it on first that's always the best way to buy LBE.

"The chest rig to start with is an amazing setup and nicely built.. That being said based on the sizing listed M-XL and from what reviews I read here and other sites, do NOT get this item if you are average build. I'm 6ft 165lbs average body size not skinny but not big. The shoulder straps fit snug and it's comfortable. Yet, this chest rig is extremely loose on my mid section fully strapped down. If not for the shoulder and chest being somewhat snug I would venture to say this item is definitely large-XL, more so XL. I highly recommend this item, just put a pillow between your stomach and chest rig!

Pros-
Awesome setup and well put together
Hydration bladder storage
Multi ammo holsters

Cons-
Very loose for my personal taste, which I wouldn't want my harness flopping around during battle!

Good luck!

"Light, strong, sturdy. A year ago these words and Condor wouldnt have been used in the same sentence without copious amounts of sarcasm. That said the oft scorned Condor has, in recent times really begun to step up their game, of course there are still detractors and those that simply wont give them another look now, but I must admit, I have been surprised by this rigs performance.

The construction is above the old average by a good margin, the stitching is thick and typically double stitched to boot, there are a few places where it isnt but those arent the highest load bearing areas. The material itself is a bit stiff initially but breaks in relatively quickly and loosens to a much more comfortable wear. The built in hydration pouch fits a 2 liter bladder with ease, you may even be able to fit a 2.5 in there but I dont have one to check this. There are enough adjustments to get it into a good fit save for a few problem areas I will address in detail by themselves. The shoulder straps have a decent amount of padding in them and havent flattened out yet, even under the rather hefty weight of my magazine heavy RPK loadout and offer ample room to route a comm system or simply hang a radio. The D rings on each strap are also good for keeping the hydration hose from trying to strangle you.

Now, the bad stuff, and by stuff I mean inconvenient.

First off, the lack of belt loops is pretty upsetting, it wouldnt have been that big og a deal to add them but, oh well. Its not a huge upset.

Secondly, the fitting adjustments, while mostly adequate, leave room for improvement in some areas. Primarily, I could not get the vest to set high enough using the shoulder strap adjustments. It wasnt horrid, but when kneeling my AK pouches would sometimes hit it and get shoved up, pushing the admin pouch up into my neck. Speaking of admin pouch, the adjustment straps that keep it fight against you only have two settings, loose and retard strength hug. There is no in between.

Finally, and the least of an issue to me really is that the build in M4 magazine pouches are rather hard to use, especially inserting a magazine into it as is actually just deep enough that you have to dig into the pouch to grasp it to pull it free, ranger plates or magpuls do make this a non issue however. The only other issue with these pouches is that when you have magazines in them, you can feel them on your stomach. I carry between three and six M4 magazines for my team mates and they can occasionally get uncomfortable, especially if you are prone for a long period.

So, pros and Cons.

Pros:
Pretty solid construction overall.
Double stitching where it needs it but not everywhere.
Drag handle actually capable of dragging without breaking(Even my 200+ butt.)
Decent adjustability.
Good material.
Relatively large hydro pouch built in.
Light and breathes easily.

Cons:
Built in mag pouches can be hard to use.
Some adjustment areas could be better.
Lack of belt loops.
No plate pouches(?)

All in all, this is a fair item for a pretty fair price. Its nice and light, pretty well build but not without its troubles.

"Really nice rig that has quite a few features. The mag pouches built in work well but i cut off the bungee straps because it was hard to insert mags. The chest piece is removable and has velcro to keep it closed. Getting the vest on and off isnt quick but it works. I haven't used the hydration carrier yet but it seems it is built well and has drainage grommets in the bottem. For those who say that its too big and cant be adjusted use the velcro attached to the adjustment straps and loop it through the molle on the side. And for the chest part i made it so the straps are crossed and snap on the opposite button. Im 5'6 and have a small figure but this vest fits great. All around a good vest for the money and if desired you can attach more pouches via the molle

"this vest is perfect for me when i'm wearing all my gear. that being said, all my gear includes a thick winter camo coat that i can wear underneath, so not so good during the warmer months, since it is kinda large on me, even with all the cinches tied down as tight as possible. size aside, everything is perfect.

pros:

plenty of molle space for loadout customization
built-in bladder carrier for long days on the field
thick enough for decent torso protection
large enough to comfortably wear a coat under in the colder months

cons:

large enough to comfortably wear a coat under in the colder months.

"I ran this event for 5 games so i decided it was time to write a review. Im 5ft 8, 115pds and the vest is still a till loose even when the vest is tightened all the way. Another problem is the knots of the elastic holding the mags in come loose every other game or so. My hydration pack on mine was a little deformed to but still holds a bladder.

Pros:
Light weight
6 m4 mags/ will fit AK too
Built in hydration pouch
Comfy

Cons:
Loose, but im a little guy
Knots come undone
Hydration pouch deformed

"For those complaining about the vest size, it's a little big because it's also meant to be worn over body armor (IBA/IOTV) for troops that spend a lot of time in vehicles, where it can be a bit cramped to wear your whole kit on your person.

I have one of these, I'm 5'10", 190#, and I had to tighten it all the way down for it to fit snug on me. This is a nice vest, but the m4 pouches built into it will swallow your magazines, making them a bit of pain to get out when wearing gloves. To counter this I bought some Magpul mag assists, or you can go the poor man's route and make some out of 550 cord and 100mph tape.

We'll see how long the velcro piece in the middle holds up, but so far I'm pretty happy with this vest.
by Ryan S. on 09/28/2010
"Like everyone else said, it is rather large. Granted I am 5"9' with a pretty slender frame, I put it over the jacket I usually wear to play, tightened all the straps it had, and it still had a lot of room between me and the vest. The mag pouches take some getting used to after using pouches that relied on velcro for a long time but they hold my M4 mags very snug. Unfortunately I fear the elastic holding the magazines in place will one day break and that will be a sad day for me. I also have some trouble getting in and out of it, but this is the first chest rig type vest I've ever gotten so that might be part of it as well.

However, I like the fact that there is also another pouch on the chest that can be used to hold things, and the hydration pouch on the back looks like it can fit almost any bladder there is on the market. I also like that there are molle straps all over this thing. The shoulder straps are padded and I'm sure when I have this vest fully loaded that's going to make it much more comfortable to wear than the cheap one I got from sports authority that also doesn't accommodate smaller framed people like me. The built in mag pouches save me the money that I would otherwise have to have spent on additional molle pouches though it certainly has enough space to put additional molle pouches in all shapes and forms.

"This is a great vest, however there are a couple cons.

Pros:
-Great material
-Many pockets and pouches (one big one inside the detachable bib, and others through out)
-Integrated Camelbak pouch
-Adjustable
-Low Profile and Detachable Bib to keep from over heating

Cons:
-IT IS HUGE! I am 6'0 and about 145 lbs. and It was a good 6 inches from my stomach to the vest when i stretched it out. Luckly I tied the adjusting straps to some of the molle straps and it fits pretty good now.
-Sometimes it is a little dificult to get your M4 mag pouches out of the vest but I'm sure it is just something that will take time getting used to.


Over all, Great vest and looks good as well. It will fit good if you are a l-xxl size and possible bigger, other than that you will have to mod it.
