Phenomenal tactical vest. Its biggest advantage is the layout of the shoulder straps, which go straight and not at an angle like on other vests, so they don’t slide off while running. 10/10.

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.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.

The vest does its job. There are a few things that could have been done a bit differently, but they can be eliminated at little cost. First of all, you need to put "spreaders" in the pouches because it's very hard to insert two magazines side by side. Secondly, it's basically bare bones, so you should plan to expand it with other components, e.g. a radio pouch. Finally, I recommend spending more (unfortunately quite a lot in my opinion, 300 PLN) on the version with a quick-release buckle; the basic version with Velcro isn’t bad, but it’s a bit annoying. Unless you put it on in the morning and don't take it off all day.

In terms of appearance and quality, it falls short compared to other vests. It’s better to pay a little more and get something cool and functional. AK magazines barely fit, adjustment of everything is crude and removing it is extremely uncomfortable.
-
I am giving this rating because of the mag pouches described as 3 pcs. AR AK. Once you insert AK magazines, they get stuck and are almost impossible to remove—it's only acceptable in training. Besides this significant issue, everything else is okay.
-
A very good component of combat gear. I’m already using it in service. Offers the option of upgrading and is made of very good, strong materials. Thoughtful solutions known from top brands. Missing side ballistic plate carriers, but you can successfully use one from another brand or add soft ballistics underneath.

It has been with me almost since its release, the material is durable, modular, with the possibility to buy and expand with more elements. Anyone who uses this type of vests knows how this one is mainly constructed. There is only one drawback: the lack of comfort pads, but of course you can buy them for now from another manufacturer. However, as far as I know, they are supposed to be available. PS. The picture is from the day I received the vest, it hadn't been worn yet.
