Great tactical vest. The biggest advantage is the design of the shoulder straps, which run straight, not diagonally as in other vests, so they don't slip off while running. Definitely 10/10.

The vest fulfils its function. There are a few minor things that could be improved, but with minimal effort they can be resolved. It's best to add some inserts to the pouches, as it's hard to fit two magazines side by side. Apart from that, the vest is basic, so it's worth planning to expand it straight away, for example with a radio pouch. It's also worth investing extra in the quick-release version – the cheaper Velcro one also works, though it's less comfortable, unless someone puts it on in the morning and wears it all day.

In terms of looks and quality it is behind the competition. It's worth paying a bit more and getting something better and more practical. AK magazines barely fit, the adjustment is uncomfortable, and removing it is quite troublesome.
-
I'm rating it this way because of the magazine pouches – the description says there are three AR/AK ones, but when inserting AK magazines, they practically get stuck and are hard to remove, although it might be fine for training. Apart from this significant flaw, the rest is fine.
-
A very solid piece of combat gear, already tested by me in practice. Great materials and easy to expand. Well-thought-out solutions taken from the best models on the market. It's a pity that there are no side pockets for ballistic plates, but you can use another brand or apply soft ballistic protection underneath.
-
I've had this vest since it was almost released, the material is solid and durable, and the modular design allows you to add new elements whenever needed. Those who use such vests know how classic the configuration is here. The only thing I miss is more comfortable pads, which for now have to be bought from another manufacturer, but as far as I know, they should be available soon. PS. The photo shows the vest on the day of delivery, still unused.
