Condor Vest vs German Webbing

[The CDN Hoople]

Hi,

For awhile now I was planning to purchase a Condor vest to start with. Until recently where I find myself interested in picking up German webbing set. I've done a lot of research on the Condor vest and it seems like a decent vest for what it costs and I've attempted to research the webbing set, seeing as its army surplus there aren't very many reviews and such. So my question(s) to you are:
Which would be more noob friendly?
Where in the world would I find pouches for the webbing set? (I can only find them on Flecktarn.co.uk and ebay)
Which would be better in the long run? (Ones army surplus and the others more of an airsoft replica)
and if anyone has had any experience with the German webbing set or condor vest, please feel free to post your experience with them, it would be a big help in choosing one of these two Load-Barring pieces of equipment

Also here are the links to what products I'm referring to and asking about:

German Webbing set: http://www.armyissue.com/cube/index....d&productId=59

Thanks for your help

I myself have the Condor vest and I like the overall fit of it is very easy to get on and off, comfortable and has good bit of room to add pouches and what not

The only real downside, if you wish to call it that, is the waist/cover bun is Velcro and that it can sometimes attach crooked and make the vest sit uneven but that isn’t really a flaw, its just me putting it too quickly.

Now this is a somewhat of a biased opinion as I myself have never used nor tried on the German webbing in which you have posted.

You will however need to get pouches for the condor vest unless it comes with it in your deal maybe?

Also forgot to mention that the Condor is pretty newbie friendly, I have yet to game mine


hope that somewhat helps

The webbing is better then the condor vest if you don't need so much stuff and only more basic equipment ie couple of mags, extra bbs, radio and you also need a lot of speed and flexibility, so the webbing IMO is more for recon, sniping etc. If you need a shitload of mags, medical stuff, food, water and a whole lot of other crap the vest is the better buy if your a heavy gunner, rifleman etc. Honestly it come down to your style of play and your role in the game as well as whatever you find comfortable, if i had to choose i'd go with the webbing.

I was looking into getting an MP5, M4 or HK416 and I'd most likely be playing more of an assault style role, moving around a lot, I've never been much for camping. I'd rather be trying to take positions, flanking an enemy position and trying to hold positions. Also I'd rather be on the "Front lines" rather then support.
