A lightweight and comfortable vest that will work well for less demanding tasks. It has space for ballistic inserts and original pouches that fit 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 with a Velcro closure. I bought it on sale, additionally using KSK points.
Tactical vest Plate Carrier made of high quality Oxford polyester characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage. The material on the inside has been additionally coated with PVC PVC to increase its resistance to moisture. The shoulder straps are made of flexible and durable plastic TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers).
.
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 easy access to them.
A panel velcro has been sewn on the front, at chest level, and on the back on the back, allowing the attachment of any emblems such as the national flag, unit emblem or Morale Patches. PALS straps PALS located on the front, sides and back allow you to attach the armor in the MOLLE system.

The vest fastens from the front with three strong Velcro fasteners. The belt cummerbund is connected to the back with elastic loops, thus increasing comfort and freedom of movement. A evacuation catch has been placed in the upper part of the back panel, which can also be used as a carrying handle.
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 with partial snow cover.

I have been using this tactical vest for over a year and I think for this price it works very well. The quick on-and-off system works thanks to strong Velcro, which is quite loud and requires some effort 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 color is also an advantage. Generally, I recommend this vest.

I have a slim build, so I regret that the shoulder adjustment is quite limited. After inserting the plates, the vest sags a bit, so the plates end up on the abdomen instead of the chest. This is not a big problem unless you need to use a tactical belt with additional gear. Ventilation is practically non-existent. The plate pocket does not fit perfectly (a 30x25 plate moves around inside). I have been using it for the second year already and despite the mentioned flaws, it works well for a beginner—the stitching holds up, the pouches work properly, and the materials are rather durable.
