The vest is great, the Velcro is of very good quality, and the patches stick firmly. It is among the cheaper ones, while still providing high quality. It works well both in summer and winter because it isn’t stuffy.
The Soft Body Armor vest is inspired by designs used by American special forces operators in the late 20th century.
This model serves primarily a protective function - there are pockets for cartridges on the front and back. Dummy inserts with the following dimensions are placed in dedicated compartments: 30 x 26 cm at the front and 33.5 x 27.5 cm at the back. The front of the vest is equipped with a large Velcro panel for attaching ID patches or Moral Patches. The back of the vest is supplemented with a soft neck cover.
The adjustable width allows the vest to be tailored to the user's body shape.
The set includes a patch with the US flag on one-sided Velcro.

The vest works great all year round, even though it looks like a winter vest in the photo. Whether it's 30°C or 3°C, it's equally comfortable. The set includes an exceptionally large patch.
-
It works very well as an alternative to a weighted vest. It is comfortable and does not restrict freedom of movement. The wide, soft shoulders do not put pressure on the shoulders – the load is distributed over a large area of the hoods. Unlike backpacks, the weight is evenly distributed, so there are no issues with back extensors or anterior pelvic tilt.
-
The vest has a nice foam armour, which makes an ASG pellet hit much less painful. It's well made, so for this price I can highly recommend it.

Comfortable, lightweight and meet expectations
-
Very comfortable and well made – I definitely recommend it.
-
Lightweight and pleasant material. Bought it "just in case" given the current circumstances. I replaced the original ballistic foam inserts with ones I made myself from stainless steel sheets, and I hope I won't have to use it :/
-
Large and comfortable vest.
-
It keeps you really warm on cold days, fits well and earns extra points for its tactical design.
-
The vest is lightweight and durable. The material is of great quality, resistant to wear and tears. The stitching is well done and even. The Velcro on the waist and front holds firmly and ensures safety. The included foam inserts work well for AirSoft – they are hard, but flexible. The shoulder adjustment is suitable for adults. I recommend this product.

Advantages: + Affordable price + Solid build quality + Provides protection for the back, chest and abdomen. Disadvantages: - Can get a bit hot during use - Wide shoulder straps might make it harder to take an aim comfortably. - The vest is quite long, which rules out wearing it with a belt. With a bit of effort you can fit a waist bag on a thin strap or some sort of thigh panel. - The pouches are only available in Velcro standard (it's worth buying two Velcro adapters from Helikon, then you can fit two magazines on the chest; you won’t fit more).
