Very good vest, extremely comfortable to use. The price is higher, but the product is definitely worth every penny. The flat and wide straps are a brilliant solution that gives you the freedom to position the buttstock pad. It's a unique product that can't be imitated.

MultiCam camouflage
MultiCam is a modern camouflage pattern created in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Centre (Natick Labs) under the Objective Force Warrior program. Its aim was to develop a universal camouflaging pattern effective in varied terrains and changing environmental conditions.
The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colours creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown, and beige. This allows it to dynamically adapt to the surroundings, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions. In Central and Eastern Europe, it is particularly effective in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). This pattern is also available for civilians, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

The velcro panel is an area with sewn-on Velcro tape that allows easy attachment of various additional items, such as patches or pockets.
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.
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.
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.

This was one of the last items I needed to complete my set. The vest is very comfortable and sturdy. The only drawback is the lack of a quick-release cord, but apart from that it works excellently – I rate it 10/10.
-
The vest is sturdy, fits great, and offers plenty of customisation options – definitely worth its price.
-
It's a bit small, it doesn't cover the belly button or kidneys, but I suppose that's how it's meant to be. Apart from that, it's easy to put on and take off, and it's very lightweight.
-
Direct Action is solidly built with well-thought-out solutions. Minimalist approach where necessary. I use it myself and highly recommend it.
-
There’s no need to advertise the quality of Direct Action equipment – it’s one of the best brands in this price range. The vest is comfortable, and the material on the inside deals with heat much better than typical mesh or foam. The adjustment system is quick and easy, and the ballistic plates stay firmly in place. I highly recommend it.
-
Great system, solid workmanship, a top-tier vest, first-class quality. I definitely recommend it. You have to spend a bit more, but it's really worth it.
