A light and comfortable vest that will be suitable for less demanding tasks. It has space for ballistic inserts and original pouches fitting AR15 and AK magazines. It is well made, which I could only assess after seeing it in person. A nice addition is the chest pocket fastened with Velcro. I bought it on promotion, also using KSK points.

The Plate Carrier tactical vest is made of high quality oxford polyester characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage. The material on the inside has been additionally coated with PVC coating to increase its resistance to moisture. The shoulder straps are made of flexible and durable TPE plastic.
The front panel features a flat Velcro-fastened pocket and a module with three universal cartridge holds for rifle magazines. An elastic Shock-Cord type cord terminating in a comfortable handle prevents the magazines from accidentally slipping out, while providing free access to them.
Velcro panels have been sewn on the front, at chest height and on the back to allow attaching any emblems, such as the national flag, unit emblem or Morale Patches. PALS tapes located on the front, sides and back allow the attachment of equipment in the MOLLE system.
The vest is fastened from the front with three strong Velcro straps. The model is equipped with comfortable suspenders and a quick donning and doffing system in the form of elastic loops, which are located at the back. The cummerbund belt is connected to the back with elastic loops, thus increasing the comfort of use and freedom of movement. An escape grip that can also serve as a carry handle has been placed on the top of the back panel.
WASP I is an innovative line of PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage patterns designed specifically for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes motion and other variables into account, making the patterns well adaptive over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good identification of "one's-another" within a group of soldiers on the battlefield.
The WASP I Z1B variant will work best in rocky areas with low vegetation cover, such as tundra or parts of mountains above the tree line. It will also find use in those cities and industrial sites where concrete and steel structures predominate. It also retains its effectiveness when the area is partially covered with snow.

I have used this tactical vest for over a year and I think that for the price, it performs very well. The quick release and putting-on system works thanks to strong Velcro, which is quite loud and requires a bit of strength to open. A big plus is the spacious inner pocket under the panel – it easily fits a phone. The straps are made of high-quality thermoplastic rubber. The dark olive colour is also an advantage. Overall, I recommend this vest.

I have a slight build, so I regret that the adjustment on the shoulders is quite limited. After inserting plates, the vest sags slightly, making the plates land on my stomach instead of the chest. This isn’t a big problem unless you need to use a tactical belt with extra gear. Ventilation is practically non-existent. The plate pocket is not perfectly fitted (a 30x25 plate moves inside). I’ve been using it for the second year now and despite the mentioned flaws, it works well for a beginner – the seams hold, the pouches work properly, and the materials are rather durable.
