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.
The Tactical Plate Carrier Vest is constructed from high-quality oxford polyester, known for its exceptional resistance to mechanical damage. Inside, the material is enhanced with a PVC coating to boost moisture resistance.
Velcro-secured pockets are available for ballistic plates. Positioned at the front are three magazine pouches designed for AR15/M4 magazines, with elastic loops to prevent them from slipping out. The vest features PALS webbing on the front, sides, and back to accommodate MOLLE system accessories.
A velcro panel is stitched onto the chest, allowing for the attachment of emblems such as the national flag, unit insignia, or Morale Patches.
The vest is secured at the front with durable Velcro fasteners. It includes adjustable suspenders, and the cummerbund belt is linked to the back with elastic loops, enhancing comfort and ease of movement.

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.
