Robot 2000 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 as a first vest I also recommend the webtex crossdraw. I picked one up on sunday and it's farkin' awesome . All the pockets you need, holster, pistol mag pouches, admin pouch exactly the right size for TM shotgun shells . . . I could go on . . . Link to post Share on other sites

sp00n Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I recommend one of the Tactical Tailor vests. Costs less than the Blackhawk stuff and is far better quality. I also just so happen to have one for sale! http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...showtopic=32621 Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Spend your money wisely. Everybit of milforce/viper/webtex I have owned was terrible. I then spend 100 pounds on a vest, and I can use it knowing that its not going to tear if I jump on it. Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Happy10 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I would reccomend either something from TT, HSGI, or Eagle industries. They are all great companies. HSGI weesatch http://www.skdtac.com/category.asp?CATEGORYID=163 Has m16 mag pouches already built in. Bit on the expensive side but is very nice. Eagle industries chest rig. http://www.skdtac.com/item.asp?ItemID=SKD8...CategoryNum=216 Only 75 bucks and is modular. Pretty nice. HSGI warlord. http://www.skdtac.com/item.asp?ItemID=SKD6...CategoryNum=154 This vest looks awesome. It comes with all of the things you need and is only 225. TBH I might pick mesylf up one of these right now. TT MAV Complete http://www.lightfighter.com/istar.asp?a=6&...numperpage%3D28 Has everything you need. Considerbly cheaper than everything else and is TT so you know its great quality. TT MAV one piece http://www.lightfighter.com/istar.asp?a=6&...numperpage%3D28 If you want to build your own rig according to what you nee this is a great deal for under 50 bucks.

xRAZERx Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Don't buy the Webtext/Viper stuff because, at the end of the day it is just a copy of a copy. Their cross draw vest, IMHO, is one of the worst. It's fine if you use a PPK or Glock 26 but if you use anything larger your ribs will be brusied from the gun smacking you when you run. Whereas if you buy a TT, Eagle, HSGI or whatever decent vest you will get something modular so you can arrange the pouches however you want and you KNOW that the seems will be well stiched, the zippers won't fall off with repeated use and that you have something that will last a lift time that you can use and abuse to your heart's content.

I would not go with cheap gear. Becaues when one vest breaks than you buy another. Than that one breaks and so on and so forth. In the end you have spent enugh to buy a really nice modualr setup that if you were patient could have had instead of that garbage. Link to post Share on other sites
bignaz Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 UTG's cross draw is simler and for only $40 the vest is made very well. Easly the qualty matches my blackhawk allmost. and you can fit 12 mp5 mags in it. Link to post Share on other sites

The stiching is fraying, it is uncomfortable and is made out of fabric that is almost as thin as my sheets. I would not reccomend thier webbing proudcts. Edit: I doubt that you have used any balckhawk proudcts. Link to post Share on other sites

Crandall Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Guy's, Blackhawk stuff isn't the vest, for vests I highly suggest you look into Tactical Tailor goods. BHI stuff is just copies of other designs with less quality. They can suffice for airsoft, but a lot of people have different complaints with different things. Also Blackhawk likes to put their logo everywhere on their stuff. and it's all more expensive. For example. BHI vest is $150. TT vest (basically same vest, although better quality) for $125 http://www.lightfighter.com/istar.asp?a=6&...numperpage%3D28 Link to post Share on other sites
