"Wow. I got this vest today and I'm speechless, just wow, this is the best vest I've ever even seen. You can put a patch almost anywhere!

"This is my second time buying this vest, I had the black one for two years before it wore out. Great vest very durable, although one of my mag buckles got shot and chipped as well as one of the shoulder/ arm connector piece. I live in Colorado and we have the infamous DMZ airsoft. I'm 5 7" and this fits perfectly I live this vest and I use it every weekend at the DMZ.
Pros:
Durable
Great looking
Provides protection and lightweight
Strong enough to keep you not looking like a meth head and light enough to know when your hit
Crotch protector!
Mobility

Cons:
Buckles are a little weak
Gets hot sometimes.

"GREAT VEST!
I've had it for about a month now and I must say... wow!

PROS:
1) INSANE PROTECTION!!!! You're the Juggernaut when you wear this!
2) Velcro: It's everywhere! Patches, etc.
3) 3 Magazine Pouches
4) Neckguard
5) Ball protector.... trust me, IT HELPS.
6) Very high quality! This vest can easily withstand 500 fps point blank
7) +55 defense when fighting dragons.

CONS:
1) Magazine pouches are a little tight... only 1 M4 mag probably. You might be able to barely squeeze one in but I doubt it.
2) Neck guard can get in the way when wearing a full facemask.
3) My opinion but, I would like a couple more magazine pouches.

That's about it.

Overall a great buy for the price and the quality! 5/5 stars

"Ive had this vest for a couple days now and i mist say it is simply the best vest there is. Its the most simple vest that really had it all. It fits exactly to my size ( and to anyones size) because of the adjustable velcrow everywhere. There is a fasten ujnder the ves tthat goes atound your stomach the really secures the vest. The mags fit 2 M4 mags each with a little squeeze. This vest is lightweigh and looks completely badass. Ive had alot of vests. and this is the last one i will ever own. Buy it...NOW!

"This vest is very well made,can store AK mags, pistols, and grenade shells! Very compact and comfortable.

Pros: comfortable
Stores any gun mag or shell
Very light
Great / Realistic looking
Cons: crotch protector kinda tight ( I'm 6 foot) but you can modify it by cutting it off
Shoulder guards can also be modified
Only things is, is that matrix should make it a little bit stronger
Otherwise totally recommended to any pro or beginner

"This vest is GREAT! Mine just came in today!
I'm not a machine gunner, or an assault person; But I'm actually my team's main sniper. I chose this vest because it was small and light weight. And when you carry a radio, phone, multiple sniper rifle mags, and M1911 mags, then this vest is definitely right for you!
by Kaleb R. on 05/07/2011
"This vest Is Perfect for anyone with an MG. Beleive me if someone sees you with a gun like that there going to single you out. This vest can take the heat close or far. I got Shot with my own SAW 300 times in the same spot (Purposely Of Course). It Took The BB's Like kevlar. I didnt feel a thing.
SUMMARY:THIS VEST IS A STEAL FOR ONLY $80 BUY NOW!!!
by Eric A. on 01/01/2011
"After recieving this armor and wearing it for a few hours, I must say this is one of the best looking, and best vestments I have ever bought. Alot of things on it are adjustable and I'm kind of on the skinnier side, but it still fit perfectly. The quality of the build is superb and you'll be using this for a long time. I've even found interesting ways to use some of the pouches for the non-intended uses. This vest has it all. I bought this for the main purposes of going along with my custom made Army of Two mask, but after playing with it on the field, it can be used for any gear set! I highly recommend this and it's worth the $80.

"this is a great vest

pros

1 if your short like me 5'5" its great fits prefect
2 took shots point blank and no problem you can feel it but not bad
3 even shoots from long range you can feel so don't let the thickness fool u cause u can still feel it but again still not bad this was tested with a 2.0 bb not 2.5 k

cons _ not bad k but still more like ugh lol _
takes a little to get use to _ to put on that is _
as far as fitting 2 m4/m16 mags you can but is a little tight i used magpul and they fit but snug k
i would like to see more pockets like on the back sides.

all in all dam good vest love it in O.D color

"Really nice looking vest and really light too, duhh!!!
extremely comfortable and very easy access to anything on it!

Pros:
light
has velcro
nice fit
nice looking
protects neck
easy to put (compared to a plate carrier that i previously owned)

Cons:
It doesnt protect alot in the back (it may but not me, i'm 6"4 215pounds)
the vest van hold only 3 m4/m16 mags,idk,this may be a pros, but i thought you could fit 2 in 1 pouch.

its a 5/5 anyways. Recomend it for tactical urban settings

"This has got to be the greatest vest ever! I got it about 3 months ago. This was a replacement vest for my swat vest that was too heavy and very constricting. This vest is light weight very durable and amazing quality. The vest has 3 mag pouches in the front. One pouch holds one M14 mag or 2 M4 mags. Im not sure how many AK mags but it looks like it would fit one. The vest also has and admin pouch with very good and long lasting velcrow. It also has a grenade loop for a 40mm. grenade. It has detachable shoulder pads that are very usefull and confortable. Some people have said that they do not like the shoulder pads but i love them. It has a neck protector(detatchable).....very thick and good protection. Last but not least a nut protector(detatchable). The one problem for that is that it hangs really hight from where my little friend is. It has that snug "Im not going anywhere" type of feeling when u have it on. I found that when your crawling on the ground army style i doesnt bug or smash anything that is in the pouches and pockets. So all in all a great vest and I would recomend this vest to anyone on the airsoft playing field.......from first time noobs to very expirenced verterans.

"This vest is perfect.
I got it in the mail yestarday and started shooting up my neighborhood w/ my firends scouting at night. Basically this vest is super comfortable and is perfect for ppl who are tall.
im 6'3" and this vest fits me like a charm.
Plus it comes with everything You need.
It can hold 6 clips of any size
and you can use one of the mag holsters as a Pistol Holster. it works nice when you clip it in, wont fall out. This vest ALSO HAS A CROTCH PLATE that velcros into the vest.
To bad you dont see one in the picture above =\

pros:
durable
has everything you need
built in hydration carrier
enough room for 4-6 mags
map pocket
room from walkie talkie
Has velcro room around neck and sholders including the velcro spot for a clan patch

cons:
Doesnt come with hysration bladder, but it doesnt matter. Buy one from evike for $15
could be a tad bigger, not much though
No MOLLE.

"This vest is amazing all around, it's much lighter then I expected, even though it said "light" in the description. The adjustment is so easy you could switch it up in the heat of a skirmish without putting down your primary. The armpads are a little bulky and I prefer to wear them in cqb, but not in woodland.


The pouch in the center is perfect for a small bag of 2 to 4 hundred bb's, as well as a small rench or two. The 3 magazine puches are just about perfect for someone who uses high cap mags and doesn't have a need for over the amount of 6. The grenade pouch, i have not found a use for other then just putting my colt there(it does work as long as you put it on correctly and you dont bump around too much)


As for size, it should be big enough for just about anybody, the adjustment is probably the easiest of any vest I've owned. There are three straps, two on each side, and one under the mag pouches that wraps all the way around the front of your body, and can be adjusted via velcro. As for the side velcro, they too can be adjusted both tight, and loose. The only problem with size, is that it might be too small length wise for a slightly larger owner(larger meaning over 6'4 or 6'5).

The neck protector works just fine and dandy, except it doesnt come up as close to your neck as it shows in the photo, so you might need to go to walmart for a cheap, thin $4.oo neck protector to fit under that if you are prone to neck shots.


The one thing i noticed is if you get shot on one of the magazine buckles, it breaks. But only from close range.


Overall, the best and most verstal vest I've laid my hands on, definatly worth looking into if your a serious player...




Pros:
light weight
plenty of space
Good protection
easily adjustable
good air flow
looks great
feels great
low profile
comfortable




Cons:
arm pads are bulky
rips fairly easily from close range (400+ fps)
MIGHT be too small for a taller person


This is the conclusion of my review, happy airsofting!!!!!

"I'm about the same size, Walter, it should fit great. Got mine not long ago and I was totally impressed. Looks great with the Army of Two Rios mask, aswell, which sounds like the perfect thing for you. Lightweight, comfortable and just so cool looking. All around a good buy, I'd say.
by Travis B. on 01/07/2010
"This vest is excellent if you love to look up-armored and don't want the hassle of all that weight! I'm around 6 ft. tall, 170 lbs. and this thing fits me perfectly. It gets a little warm in the summer, but that's to be expected in a vest like this. And to answer any questions of comfort, No the arm pads don't bother you nearly as much as you think they would. Half the time I forget they're even there. No they're aren't any loops for belts, but that's just part of it being an SDEU vest. When the cargo of an ALICE belt is required you can just do what I do and wear the ALICE belt/suspenders under the vest and it fits perfectly.

Pros:
-The mags pouches are easy to get to, and hold M4/M16 mags like a charm.
-The flip-down groin plate has come in handy in several CQB situations.
-Light-weight and comfortable.
-Arm pads and front Neck Armor are removable.
-Has room for a Camel-Back.
-Easy to wear an ALICE belt with.

Cons:
-Gets warm in the summer.
-No belt loops.
