So my experiance with Tac vest, carriers etc, has been somewhat interesting to say the least.
I first started with a chest rig which simply carried 6 M4/M16 style magazines, and with limited MOLLE real esate on it, things were simple.
Then I made the move into a plate carrier, with the hope of being able to set it up in such a way that I could carry a decent ammount of magazines (AEG and pistol), carry my radio, admin, hydration, and other airsoft essentials (snacks being the most important).
But I found that being built like a number 2 pencil, I couldnt get the Carrier to fit me. So I ditched it and played with my pockets, everything went in them. But I found that things started to impede my movement, things would fall out or get broken. So I set about looking for a solution...
And this is what I came up with...
I purchased this from Military1st and my god does it work wonders.
Pros:
Inside pockets for sotring maps, wallets, keys etc
D-rings for use with a Molle belt platform
Lightweight (I can hardly feel the thing)
Lots of Molle to mount whatever I like
Extremly adjustable (fits like a glove)
Con(s):
Lots of flappy straps (easy fix with cable ties or lecky tape)
All this for the sweet price of £35. Also with this I purchased a hydration pouch and bladder to keep myself hydrated during games, and its the perfect set-up for my style of play.
I would confidently recommend this for anyone who is just starting out in airsoft as it's easy on the wallet, nice and lightweight, and most definitely not complex to adjust unlike some other rigs out there.
