At first glance, the vest seems okay, but unfortunately, apart from the main material—Cordura—it is very poorly made. The material sewn to the Cordura looks like an ordinary rag, and the whole thing gives the impression of being carelessly constructed. On the back, the vest gets deformed, and it looks strange.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
Materials with IRR (Infrared Reflective) properties are designed to maximize the absorption and minimize the mission of infrared radiation, which is important for camouflage and avoiding detection by observation devices such as night vision devices.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
High-quality buckles and fasteners distinguished by their durability and reliability. Made of durable materials such as nylon or polyamide, used in products that require a solid and secure fastener, providing security and comfort.
LCS (Laser Cut System) is a new version of the assembly used in the MOLLE system, where instead of traditional tapes, laser-cut holes are used directly in the material. The system is much lighter than standard sewn-on PALS tapes and guarantees better camouflage. The holes are hemmed with thread to prevent fuzzing and ripping, or, as in the case of Cordura, the laser-cut edges are fused.

The vest is lightweight, comfortable, and of very good quality; after a thorough inspection, there is nothing to complain about. What is worth noting is that the pocket for ballistic inserts is made of elastic material, so you can fit not only SAPI inserts in size M, but also size L, as well as BW/SK4 inserts. A serious option for demanding users.
