Matrix S.D.E.U. Ultra Light Weight Airsoft Tactical Vest (Color: Black)

"I got this vest and it is great, it holds so much, 6 mags, 3 grenades, and I converted the hydration patch to a holster for my VSR-10. The shoulder pads are abit gay and useless but what ever.

"this vest is vary useful and there is plenty of pockets and pouches and its vary easy to move in it the only thing i would do to tweak it is to put more mag pouches or bigger mag pouches i can only fit 3 of my A.U.G. mid caps on it but for an m4 it fits two in each pouch and mp5/mp7 its like 4 but over all it a great deal if u wanna save money but yet have a good and reliable vest

"When the vest arrived I was quite excited but then came to a horrible realization. The vest was meant for kids or young adolescents. I'm a 6,1 tall guy and would recommend for this for 14 and under. I'm not undermining this vest on the contrary this is worth the price just that I wished there was three sizes for this product.

"It's not made for 6'2 215 pound man

"the slot for my head doesn't fit so i am unable to the vest on. everything else looks good except the hole where my head goes though.

"Great vest. Really is. Light wight and easy to store/travel with. Part of the reason too I got it is because it looks really cool, especially with those sleeves. Wrong. It doesn't come with sleeves nor is it compatible with sleeves because it has no velcro to store it on. It was a bit of a let down but otherwise great vest and if your shot in the torso with this thing on you cant feel it at all!

"This vest was not how i pictured at all. the shoulder pads are bulky and it is not buckle on, I love the vest but I thought it would be different. It is more of a covert ops vest than cqb. also it is strong in some parts weak in some. The vest is overall a great vest but i would add some more things to it and make it less bulky.

"Overall, great vest. I get all the great comments from my friends when playing. Only problem is the material used to make the vest. I'm a CQB player on our team (Shoot, Kill, Destory) and I tend to get shot alot due to being on the frontlines most of the time. While playing a game, I decided to use this vest. During the game, one of my friends shot me in the back when I least expected it. When we finished the game, I found out that the BB's penetrated the material of my vest, mostly in the hydration pack area. We played again and my right shoulder pad got pierced also. I would recommend this for those who aren't going to be in CQB. The crotch protector hasn't been pierced when shot by lipoly and the chest area works fine. Same goes for neck protector.

Pros:
Easy to put on
Full protection
Very comfortable
Excellent mag pouches
Comes with crotch protector


Cons:
Not for CQB players
Bad material, gets pierced easily


Conclusion:
3/5

"Well I ordered this hoping it would be a half decent vest....Bottom line...this vest is decent. Is it worth $80 dollars....deffintely not.

-Upon receiving the vest the first thing I noticed was the cloth piping on the edges of the pockets. Now this may not seem like a big deal but it will end up being a nightmare in a rapid magazine change. The magazine will snag and get caught....eventually the piping will bust out of the stitching and now you have a slowly decaying pocket. Being that the name of the label is "Matrix Tactical..." I would think they would have done a few magazine changes and immediately realized....this is a problem.

-After getting over the pocket issue I noticed the lack of belt loops. Any proper vest will have belt loops. Although this vest does include a Body wrap which velcroes on before the vest actually velcroes together; this will not stop the vest from that irritating "slow creep". It will slowly creep up your body until it's sitting 6" too high and now you have a problem. The body wrap fits perfectly around my chest and under my arm pits so chest ride is minimal. Anyone under 6' may have a problem with "Rig Ride".

-The shoulder pads are completely annoying. You need a buddy to properly put them on, or you can look like an idiot try to flip and grip an elastic velcro strap. An elastic clip style strap would be better suited and allow for easy on and off.

THE GOOD NEWS

This vest fits incredible and looks amazing. I have to say that with the shoulder pads on and geared up it looks great. If those minor things were tweaked it would make for an outstanding piece of gear to ones closet. I reccomend this vest if you are between 5" 11" and 6' 2" and have a medium to average build. If you are a small guy or a big guy this will not work out very well for you. The lack of belt loops and rig adjustment will make this a poor buy.

"I'm about 5'6 and 110 lbs, is this a good vest to get????????

"I'm planning on buying one of these vests and I need someone's opinion on which color to get?

"i am 4' 7''. i know im short but is this gonna fit

"pros of this vest lightweight,looks cool,and good for cqb,


cons of this vest is the neck protector sucks just get in the way and it is almost impossible to look down,and the arm protectors doesn't protect to much,and you can only fit one m4 mag in it
