Airsoft/Tactical Review SA Vest

This vest took a long time to arrive (I literally received the item faster from China). But the wait was worth it. The durable mesh lining makes the entire vest highly breathable. The padded shoulders are adjustable, making it easy to change up the "rise" of this vest compared to others I have. I have a shorter body length, so the waist position on other vests is usually mid-thigh (so little is really meant for short people). The pockets are well distributed and the dimensions are for the most part such that the weight capacity of the vests is quite flexible. The side adjustment straps are number 4, so instead of the elasticated drawstring style (which leaves you with a huge length to cut off) or the standard 2 that I've seen on other vests; They have a very stable and solid windage that doesn't try to roll on its own. And that doesn't leave you with that far-fetched feeling. The buckles on the front closure are laterally offset so that even when closed, the buckle is almost hidden under the pocket on the left. It gets it out of the way in a really great design feature. The "backpack" is ingeniously designed to hold a hydration bladder and a small amount of supplies (personally I like to keep food bars in there, as well as extra socks and a first aid kit). The backpack had a very simple but effective duffel cutout that can be unzipped to reveal the entire back for supplies and then you can use one of the two large side pockets for a water bladder instead. The top buckles on the back and the two large side pockets share the same flexible design. The only downside for me is that the ammo pouches weren't just for AK mags - it's not a total loss as I could still fit one in each of the pouches, only the pouches then didn't flip and close (I stuffed them in). Pocket so they don't tip over This solved the problem pretty well Of course I don't carry 2 mags in each pocket like a split design should, but especially with airsoft when you don't complete a mission with 5 mags maybe it's time to think about something else, if I could only give 1/2 stars this little issue would make it a 4 1/2 overall instead of a 5. Everything about this vest is so well made that I am couldn't in good conscience opt for a 4 star rating - so I've upped it to 5. I think this vest is worth the price and sincerely expect this will be the last vest I buy.
