Review for model:

A nice, lightweight vest for more casual tasks. It has space for ballistic plates, factory universal pouches for AR15 and AK magazines. Solid workmanship, which I could only evaluate in person. An additional plus was the chest pocket with a Velcro closure. Got it on sale and with KSK points.

I have used this tactical vest for over a year. For this price, it meets expectations. The quick put-on and take-off system uses sturdy Velcro, which makes it quite loud and you need to use some force to detach it. The inner pocket under the panel is very large—a phone will easily fit, which is a big advantage. The shoulder straps are made of high-quality thermoplastic rubber. The olive color in a dark shade is also a plus. The vest is worth recommending.

I have a rather petite build, so I really regret the limited adjustment options on the shoulders. After inserting plates, the vest starts to sag a bit, so the plates don’t rest on the chest, but rather on the belly. It's not a big problem as long as you don’t want to use a tactical belt with any gear. Ventilation does not exist. The plate pocket is not entirely sized correctly (a 30x25 plate moves around inside as it wants). I’ve been using it for the second year now and apart from the above drawbacks, the vest is quite decent for a beginner—the seams are holding up, the pouches work as pouches should, and the materials used are also quite durable.
