Multicam plate carrier vs light vest (molle)

[krap101]

So, I bought some chinese multicam, and this is my first time buying a vest. They're pretty similar, but I'm wondering which would be better?

Spend the extra $10 and get this:

Real MC (or any colour for that matter) and super high quality.

Go with something khaki or coyote brown, it'll work well with MC, and will also allow you to wear it with other camo patterns. Sticking with everything MC will just limit you to using your MC gear with your MC BDUs.

I've found that it'd probably be cheaper to just buy another vest with a few pouches rather than buy one vest and replace all the pouches.

If I were to buy a multicam vest, what do you guys think between these two?



Vest One: ~60$






Vest Two: ~90$







The main difference is a 40$ price difference and that one is a plate carrier and the other is a light weight vest.

For your information, the 2 are plate carrier.

IMO, don't cheap out on vests. If you are on a tight budget look for DragonRed CIRAS.
I don't know if they have them in MC tho. Or else Get Coyote Brown (CB)

I would avoid the really cheap Chinese vests, especially when they are in multicam.

I have had good experience with EBairsoft for my super cheap chineese stuff, although I wouldn't buy something in multicam from them.

For something a litter better made, check out dragonred airsoft, or their guy Huang here on airsoftcanada.com

Cheap fake Chinese multicam tends to look like crap

ic, I thought that the plate carriers were a little more squarish, and had a little pocket inside to hold the plate. Well anyways, the second one comes with "plates" then.

Hum...

I'm warning you, these things are pure crap. Extremely fragile, I saw a brand new one getting one the molle row almost completly ripped off the PC when some wood caught one of the mag pouches.
Plus they are the most ugly PC ever.

Forget about those and take one these options :

- Wait and buy a Pantac or any real deal multicam PC (seeing what you have selected an RRV or HSGI Waasatch). A Condor PC might be good (and molle rows are in multicam too).

- Buy a CB PC from Pantac (there's a lot of them) or you can have this : http://www.ebairsoft.com/airsoft-arm...n2-p-1761.html (It's actually pretty indestructible).

I've seen std's prettier than that vest.
