BOMTURNGreat Tactical Outdoor Vest for Men Multifunctional Modular Molle Vest with Metal Buckles

I am 18 years on the job in law enforcement, so this is not my first plate carrier. I am very impressed with the high quality of this carrier. It looks great, was very affordable, came with a ton of nice pouches, and fits snug and secure. It is very adjustable and you can reconfigure the placement of the different pouches/holders however you desire. I haven’t put many miles on it yet, but it appears built to last!

I really liked it but had to return it because It really did not fit but I am 5'7 and I would have to assume this item would be for somebody maybe 5'10 or 6' +

This vest has so much potential... but there are a few serious issues that basically make this vest good for nothing besides airsoft... and, even then... it's not right for everybody...The first issue is that there isn't really any way to adjust the fit... They advertise that there is... but the vest I received cannot loosened or tightened around the waist... the straps are sewn onto the vest itself. If it doesn't fit around your waist as is, it isn't going to... which brings me to my next complaint...This thing is TINY. Now, to be fair, I'm a very large guy. I'm 250 lbs, 6'1, and not fat at all... when I was in the army, I was about 30 pounds lighter but also had a whole lot less muscle mass. (I was a medic, we were always running and doing cardio). So, during my day in the army, we had the IBA, and I had an Extra Large... However, the IBA is not your standard plate carrier, it's a full armor kit with integrated kevlar, side rig, everything... so I don't expect a commercial plate carrier to offer the same kind of body coverage... however, this plate carrier literally barely goes below my chest... and I cannot realistically fasten the sides... even with the groin pad on, the whole rig barely makes it down to my pelvis... literally, the groin pad doesn't even reach my groin area... that is how small this thing is... My wife is about 5 and a half feet tall and about 110 pounds soaking wet... this vest looks like it was made for her... it doesn't even look big on her...The manufacturer needs to be more clear about the sizing of this vest. The shoulder strap s can be adjusted to make the front and back hang lower or higher... but the waist is locked in... if you're a big person, butter suck it in... and then pray a little... Or here's an idea... stop advertising this as a "One size fits all" solution and offer different size vests...Now, lets talk about quality and durability for a minute... Look... you get what you pay for... the durability doesn't seem.... BAD... (granted I have not used it really at all because I'm giving it to my wife and she doesn't come out training as often) but... as long as you're not planning on being out in an austere environment for a week or 3, this vest should hold up fine. Would I deploy with it? Never... But it is durable enough to serve you in most CONUS situations in a pinch. Assuming you can fit into it...The plate carrier portion is disappointing... the plates go in from the bottom, the material is very thin, and they rely on nothing but velcro to hold them in... Velcro... and it's decent velcro... sure... but there should definitely be some kind of fastener or button at bare minimum... the velcro area that you have to use (because you have to fold the flap over) isn't even very big... There is no way this thing is going to be able to hold AR500 steel plates with you running around in it. (not that I'd recommend those anyway) but I'd be surprised if this thing could stay sealed with standard ceramic plates... seriously... it's very clear that this vest was made for foam airsoft plates... and that's fine... but market it for what it is... make that distinction. This thing was pretty much a waste of money for me as I was looking for a plate carrier to have on hand as a backup for someone else just in case we ever found ourselves in that position. This vest is not suitable for real combat... the plates will not stay in reliably. So, for functionality as a combat worthy vest with real armor plates, I'm going to give this a definite thumbs down. It will not function reliably with real body armor plates. Don't even try it... they may stay in for a little while... but the last thing you need is to be running while people are shooting at you, and then trip over your own armor plate which fell out from the front of the vest while you were running.Style... it's stylish... sure. Looks great... again, as long as you're not a big person... if you're a big guy like me, this thing looks comical at best... but, on my wife, it LOOKS like she means business...For airsoft, this vest would be great... as a plate carrier for real armor in a real life or death situation, this thing might actually be more of a liability than a help...

Fun for those airsoft days!

Great color. Plenty of pouches that definitely came in handy. Durability is questionable. I was going to be dragged (playing airsoft) and the right shoulder strap ripped off the body of the carrier. The seams came undone with not a lot of added tension. I was able to "rig" it back and able to continue on with some readjustments. Just don't let anyone drag you or reenforce the seams and you'll be fine.

Fits great heavy duty buckles holds weight no issues

Vest seems to be well made. Came with pads inside it that I don't recall being mentioned. I left them in behind my plates for some cushion if I take a hit. Took me a bit to figure out how to adjust the size. Has enough pockets to hold 7 of my AR mags and the same for a pistol. Not sure what I can use all the pouches for. Has the admin pouch, radio holder, IFAK pouches that I would use. IFAK has a tourniquet strap on top of it.

Great quality for the price
