Help with vest and camo: UPDATE! vest is in pics are up

So the vest is actually really nice, has lots of MOLLE space, the only problem i have with it is that it sits higher than i like. The bottom om my vest is flush with my belly button, i prefer a vest to sit at my belt line.


The neck guard prevents you from looking down, but its good for taking a nap while standing .
your range of motion is uninhibited for the most part aside from looking behind you. The vest doesn't feel heavy at all, because it isnt; its light and easy to move around in

NO NO NO NO. Stay far away from that thing. Trust me. I have seen those before and they are very cheaply made. I have seen them fall apart, literally.

At least go with condor if your on a budget. And if your looking for under 80 for uniform and pouches, your not going to get it unless you get some woodland or something. Uniforms alone are probably going to cost you around 80, while pouches are probably going to cost at least around 50 even if you get Condor pouches.

I'd heed Twitches advice. He has an unhealthy obsession with gear. We tried to have an intervention... well that's how we lost half of Dagger.

Get a TAG Phalanx, Eagle UCR, or similar rig in Coyote Brown and then get M81 Woodland BDU's.

Dont get a chest rig. Get a TAG Banshee. http://www.opticsplanet.net/tactical-assault-gear-banshee-rifle-plate-carrier.html


One of the best carriers on the market for the price.

That looks like a fancier version of what i have, but i don't have gun money to spend on a vest. It looks really good though

This is the one i have dusty, and i believe poop runs a black one. I say buy it. you wont look back.

If your on a budget, go condor. Dont be surprised if it rips or comes un-stitched, but you stand a heck of a lot better chance with condor than you do with other china brands.

As if to prove my point look at this picture. You notice that (from the top) the 2nd-5th rows have areas where the stitching on the webbing is COMPLETELY MISSING. Go ahead and look at it. Its not the lighting or anything, cus you can see the rest of the webbing is clearly stitched to the vest. And these are the advertising pictures, so imagine what piece of junk they would end up shipping to you!
