This vest is the same molle over vest issued to the US army to be worn over intercepter ballistic armor. Very handy, great modular system. Alot of people dont know it but you can remove the back bad so it only needs to be slipped on and given a yank to tighten. I was issued one in Korea and 6th Ranger training battalion.
Thanks to the good folks at CTD, I figured out how to adjust the waist strap. (There's a plastic piece covered by a nylon strap on each side of the vest. You have to pull these out of the loops that hold them in order to slide the front part of the vest and adjust the waist. I couldn't figure this out for the life of me until I got help from CTD!) The vest fits well and is fully adjustable. The waist adjustment is very sturdy and a good design (now I understand it). The vest goes perfectly with my pack and BDUs. This is a great vest for the price.
Vest is well made but the mag pouches aren't. There are no seperators in them, mags tend to bang around too much and were a disappointment. I'll keep the vest for the price. I can always get better mag pouches.
this actually exceeded my expectation for a vest. it fits an old fat guy pretty good and has alot of options for gear great for a day of shooting and four wheeling
I bought this vest to see how similar it is to my vest and i love it.I added pistol mag pouches, butpack, meadickit, flashlight holder,utility pouch,and a sun class holder. And carry it on duty.
