"Absolutely fantastic carrier. The elastic that comes over the mags is kinda confusing and very stiff so I retied mine much looser and it makes the mags very easy to grab without being able to fall out. Holds a 64oz water bladder no problem, definitely could've gone much bigger if I wanted to. I'm 5'10, 185lbs with broader shoulders and it fits around my waist great, but height wise is all the way tightened. If you're a shorter person I don't think this would fit very well. All-in-all very good carrier, lightweight, holds what I need, would definitely recommend for anybody trying for a lighter-weight loadout.

"Great all-around vest for the price. If you're looking for a low-profile, bare bones, way to carry mags -- you found it. Nothing to complain about at all. Preforms exactly as expected.

"INFO: 6' 2" 185lbs 34" waist. Wearing shorts and t-shirt when I tried it on.I have 2 mags in the rig and an HPA tank in the hydration pouch. Shooting a Valken V12 Optima BLOCK II with crane stock.

PROS:
- Very maneuverable. I like it better than the plate carriers.
- A lot of MOLLE for extra pouches. I added an admin pouch in front.
- Pretty solid construction. I saw a few videos of cracked buckles after 6mo of use, but you can always replace and re-sew.
- Velcro strap holders on all adjustable straps.
- Large hydration pouch. I have a 48cc in tank with plenty of space. 42" hose (routed under armpit) reaches rifle comfortably.
- Fits snug with tank and mags in with waist straps fully tightened.
- Sits and feels well in standing, crouched, and prone firing positions.

CONS:
- Mag pouches are difficult to put mags in. I untied the retention strings and took out the nylon stoppers. After retying, mags fit in well and stay in place.

"This it a great Rig, thought it camon pattern didnt match exactly my ACU uniform it still mix well, i tryed to fit the six pouches with M4/M16 Mags (APS Brands both "Metal ID: 52124 (MAG-AER001-B)" and "Plastic ID: 47818 (MAG-AER032-B)" it can hold 8 Mags total 1 in each sides pouch and 2 on middle one, it worth the price.

"This is a great chest rig, absolutely love it. I am a shorter and wider guy and this almost fit me right out of the box a little adjusting and it fits like a glove. the only bad thing i didn't like was how the elastic to keep the mags in place WHERE tied, i have retied them so the elastic can be pushed to the side allowing me to accses the mag faster but still keep them secured.

pro
-light weight
-great construction
-easy to adjust
-a great buy

con
-the elastic that holds the mags down. (just need to retie it and the rig will be golden)

"I just got this vest yesterday and have yet to test it in combat, but in the time that I have fit it and tried it out just shooting around, I'm very impressed. It's made of a very high quality fabric, and can be adjusted easily. I'm 5'8", 160 lbs, and very muscular, and it fit me very well with a jacket, but I'm afraid that if you're very skinny (_29" waist), it probably will be too big around the waist. However, I was impressed at how much stuff can be fit on a vest this small. I fit 6 g36 midcaps in the build in pouches, and mounted two Thunder B grenades on the outside using M4/M16 mag pouches, two speedloaders, and a radio. There should be ample room in the back pouch for a 2 liter camerbak, so no worries there. Overall great value for money, I highly recommend it.

Pros:
Cheap
Good Quality
Fits a lot of stuff
Easily adjusted
Looks good

Cons:
May not fit very skinny people, or people who play in a T-shirt

"when I got this rig, I was surprised at the quality of it at the price. I run an M4 system with mine and I have put a bunch of different molle accessories on it. the fact that it covers you back was a great thing for me, the already attached hydro carrier is obviously a must for the Texas heat during the summer. For anyone that is bigger in size, im 6'3 230 lb, this vest would be great for you with a little extra wiggle room.

Pros:
price
weight
plenty of molle
you can use this rig for a lot of cqb situations

Cons:
the bungee system on the rig was pretty confusing so what I did was cut some of it off to make it work.
I wish it had a chest panel for admin pouches. I've got mine on the left side front of the rig.

Overall:
This is probably one of the best rigs I have owned. there is so much that you can do with it that even I haven't considered yet. if you want something that is lightweight, carry a bunch of mags, and will last don't look at anything else cuse for the price its well worth it

"I got this vest a few days ago and love it there is so much room in it u can attach even more mag holsters to it to make it even cooler looking I'm 6 foot 220 had to adjust it a little but after that it fits perfect overall it is worth the money and u never run out of mags unless your just trigger happy only cons I can think of are it won't cover the top part of your chest other than that I got nothing

"This is for a fast skirmish game. It is lightweight and very breathable because it is a more open vest/chest rig. It is just a tad loose on skinnier people, but as long as you have mags in and the camel back in you're fine, it fits nice n' snug. So if you are looking for a fast pace build, you'll get it with this.
PROS
-Lightweight
-Plenty of MOLLE (not a lot, but enough to be happy)
-The bladder carrier is VERY nice to have (no water bottles needed!)
-Mags fit just right for me, and I use this for an actual AR most of the time. And if they don't fit, adjust the little strings on the mag holders.
-Made of good quality material, doesn't tear or rip easily.
CONS
-Can sit loose on smaller people, and bounce around when running.
-Doesn't come with actual camel back. :(

"Pretty happy with this buy, my friend recently got me into airsoft and I wanted to get geared up as inexpensively as possible. This rig helped me do that. I'm enjoying the Pro/Con Lists so here's mine;

Pros
Great Price

Holding 12 Mags w/o and issue(felt great tossing mags out to my teammates!)

Hydration Pouch Built in

Cons
It's a little big.
I'm a slim guy (5'10", 180lbs, 31w) at it's tightest it's a little loose. If your wearing gear underneath it fits a little more snug but if your really tiny I'd say look elsewhere.

Mag pouches need some type of straps added
The bungees can keep the mags in but the second you need to get a mag out it's a pain. If you don't have them strapped in they pop out when running.



All and all it serves it's purpose, I look cool and my mags have a place to reside. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to gear up without going broke.
by Nick P. on 07/09/2013
"Great rig! I was split between the regular chest rig panel for $25 and this, but eventually decided on this since I run an m14 and an m4 platform. (This rig already has built in M4 pouches so i didn't need to worry about buying extra m4/m16 pouches.

Greatest pros:

-Lightweight
-HYDRO CARRIER!!!
-for bigger guys (might be a con for some of you)
-molle everywhere
-mesh pockets on the inside behind the built in m4 pouches
-Affordable. C'mon.... $35? steal.

Cons:

-Bungee retention is really confusing. Mine must've come assembled wrong, because I cannot place m4 mags into the pouches without having to untie the bungee cords first.
-Would like to pay more for an added chest panel on top, but this rig has enough room.

Other thoughts:

Fits people bigger in stature such as myself (6'1", 200 lbs.) as this side adjustments were fully tightened down and i still had plenty of wiggle room. For smaller people, I would not suggest this.


Overall, get this rig! you will not regret it.

"I bought this chest rig set up about a month ago and have used it 3 times since. This thing is almost perfect. its got a built in hydration carrier already so you dont have to worry about that! it holds a total of 12 mags ( which is more than plenty) and it has molle almost every where so you can add more pouches if you want! The reason i say its almost perfect is because the sizing is a little big and is a pain to adjust. Im 5'11 and 150 pounds and its a little big on me. but once you get the hydro blatter and your mags in it weights it down enough so that its not that much of big deal! The other thing is that the bungie straps that hold in the mags are pain in the butt the first few times of use! but once they get broken in they work perfectly! I put a condor admin pouch on it and it looks amazing!! If your thinking of buying it dont hesitate!

Pros
light weight
comes with hydro carrier
molle everywhere!!!
holds 12 mags!

Cons
a little big
the bungie mag holders are a little stiff at first.

Buy this thing if your thinking about it!!
by Thomas R. on 01/05/2013
