It's good so farMar 24, 2011
By Thomas
I have received this vest today for airsoft matches and general utility. So here are some things that I would have liked to have known, and that I think might be helpful to you.
Material
The material of this vest if fairly well made. Fabric is about the same thickness as my BDUs and good quality. The velcro is nice, and the fasteners are solid. The mesh is highly breathable, but it is the one area of the vest that I question. It looks like it will be able to fulfill it's intended purpose, which is to act as my tac vest until I can get a fully customizable plate carrier and pouches.
The pouches
The product comes stock with a general utility pouch, 3 magazine pouches for the M4, a pistol holster with a pistol magazine pouch built in, three pistol magazine pouches, and two pistol magazine pouches on the utility belt. All of the magazine pouches are single stack, meaning that you can carry a pistol, 6 pistol magazines and three rifle magazines with the stock product.
Adjustment
When you receive this product, everything will be tightened to the max and it will only fit the smallest of users. It can be adjusted, however. The straps are the same basic type you'd see on other tactical gear or backpacks, so it's not difficult in the least.
The belt will need to be adjusted too. There is velcro underneath, so it's simple to adjust. It is a small hassle with the magazine pouches, though.
Customization
There is a certain amount of customization that you can do to this product, although not a lot. There is MOLLE style webbing in the back that you can attach a hydration pack to, which means that you can attach other things if you so desire or leave it bear so that you can wear a tactical pack. The pistol holster and the two pistol mag pouches on the belt are also detachable. The belt is apparently load bearing, which means that I should be able to add extra pouches for my needs.
Another note is that the webbing that the pistol holster is attached to is slanted at a 45 degree angle. Good for the pistol (it is a cross draw vest, after all), but not so good if you're taking that out to add additional pouches of your choosing.
Wear
Loaded up with the gear you are using and properly adjusted, this vest does not feel that heavy and distributes the weight alright. I don't have other points of comparison, however.
Shipping
This product was received in a timely fashion via FedEX with 1 day delivery. The box is absurdly large and stuffed with shipping paper, and the product does have a strange smell out of the box that quickly goes away with a little bit of airing out. Still, it came in alright and undamaged and that's what counts.
Conclusion
This product gets a 4 out of 5. The reason why I say that is because I thought the rifle magazine pouches would be double stack, and the fact that they're not is a disappointment. I also haven't worn it out in the field, which keeps me from putting my full support behind it. But it's good quality and $20 less expensive then if you bought it at a surplus store.

 The price is right....Mar 28, 2011
By FarfromyoU
It holds up to a lot of abuse and holds your gear too. I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall, 230 lbs, and it fits me perfectly. This product is highly adjustable, but not so much for heavy people I have seen try it on ( big middle = no zip up). It helps redistribute the weight your carrying and allows you to carry up to 1 gallon of water, all though the water bladder must be purchased separately. This vest is a must for serious airsofters and a great starter vest alike. Unless you contact the seller you will not get the color you want because the colors are based on availability not your preference. Contacting the seller will allow you to know what is in stock and make your decision based on that.

Well-designed. Comfortable. Utilitarian. Excellent Value.Dec 11, 2010
By Jeffrey E Ellis
My son-in-law asked for this vest for range sports and prep. It is an amazing value! It holds a pistol, mags, and load of tactical gear. The waist belt is weight-bearing and perfect to hold the vest and double as a utility belt for gear. The vest is totally adjustable both in fit and in attachments. It comes fully-dressed with tactical loops, belts, and holes to customize for any use.

Real weapons tested!Aug 22, 2011
By Mike Hollingsworth
"Quitlookinatme"
Right off the bat, I'm no air softer. I bought this to carry into the woods holding 3 m&p 15 22 25rd mags, 2 .45 hi point carbine mags, M&P 45c w/ full mag in holster! I attached a Winchester bowie knife horizontal on the bottom back on the Molly webbing. It holds everything I had to bring and could still hold more. One thing is I'm 5'8" 135lb and got a medium, all the adjustment straps are fully tight on me to fit perfectly, its highly adjustable. Another thing is you must weave the Molly back and forth from vest to holster all the way to the buttons on the bottom of the holster. It comes just slipped straight through from the factory. The weave makes it possible to hold a 2.5lb pistol with ease. I would highly recommend this to any shooter that wants to geek it up at the range!

 Good quality vest,,,but....Jun 28, 2011
By Dee
Ok so I got this in the mail yesterday and I opened it right away. I tried it on and ran around a little bit in it and I seemed to like it. Then I tried putting my G&G Basic Hi-Cap Magazine in and it was a very tight fit. Then I tried putting in my HK USP magazine. It took me about 1 minute to get it in. So I guess they are good pockets for mid to low cap magazines and spring magazines but other then that I rate this vest 3 stars. So here are the things good & bad about this vest:
Pros:
Good quality material, durable, good quick draw holster, looks AWESOME.
Cons:
Small pockets, if you have long hair like me then your hair will get caught in the velcro from time to time.
