Favorite Vest?
 
Please include brand name and model number.

In the market for a new vest, and I'm looking for educated opinions. I've owned a few in the past. Some clunky surplus thing, a made in China CADPAT RRV, and a Multicam CIRAS. I found the chest panel on the RRV to be a bit high on my chest, and it hit my neck when I crouched down. The CIRAS was too much vest for airsoft, considering there is no need for strike plates, and I found the adjustments to be excessively complex; requiring the whole vest to be opened up just to make a small adjustment.

What do you guys think?

My old vests.

I run the multicam CIRAS (not sure which brand.. 0_o), great, comfy carrier as I don't use it with plates. Adjusting is a bitch though. Still think it's a great vest in my own opinion.

Tasmanian Tiger chest rig mk II. I've had this one for a couple of years now and love it. It's light with tonnes of real estate. It can easily fit 8 pmags in the mag pockets, the upper flap can fold down and it has an inner pocket for a plate or sidearm. The side pouches fit my tools and refreshments perfectly.

I bit the bullet and went to an all molle (vest+belt) platform. It wasn't cheap but the customization makes me smile all the time.

Vest, plate carrier, chest rig, or belt kit?

KBarlow February 23rd, 2013 00:31

Sup Dan? Anything really. Kinda leaning to the conservative end of the spectrum.

When I ran a chest rig (I use a 249 or RPK alternately now) this was my favourite:

Simple, and fairly lightweight.

I dont know why no one suggests this but if you want simple, go with a FLC. theyre cheap but theyre good. theyre not L33T and high speed and shit but they are moddest and effective.

I went the other way though and got me a SORD plate hanger. a triple mag pouch by eagle and a canteen with a kangaroo hydration on the back and thats it. May add more to it though.

HSGI Warlord. I have had the V2 and V4. I prefer modularity, so I have stuck with the V4.

I had a Denali years ago that had the extraneous frag and 40MM pouches removed. Loved that rig.

A Warlord lathered in Tacos is the ultimate. Took me quite a while to gather up all of them.

Ditto to this. I absolutely love my TT MK II chest rig. It is close to perfect for the way I like to run my gear not to mention it is affordable for what you are getting. Two other similar rigs that I really like are the BDS Tactical V-OPS rig and the HSGI Weesatch.

The Cool thing about ordering a rig from BDS is that you can customize them and pick the exact options you want in the configuration you want.

There are also quite a few plate carriers that have come onto the market that I really like the looks of. My favorite being the Crye JPC and the new Crye Adaptive vest system.

I second the vote for the 6094...just waiting until a pile of money falls in my lap for a real LBT
