2nd time I hve bought this vest. Its a great product and I got fast shipping. But DO NOT use a washer and dryer, the vest will shrink. Instead you need to use room temperature water and soak and wash with your hands. That was the only problem I had with my first vest, and just so you dont waste ur money, dont make the same mistake.

For the price you can't complain too much. I received the vest and have since played a full day with it. it is comfortable and didn't weigh me down. It have a good amount of pockets, although the "radio/cell phone" pouch...is completely useless. it is not fastened to the vest (held on with one strap) and just flies around if your moving at any kind of speed...
My big issue with the vest is the fact they say the inner foam layer is removable...and well..it is...if you never intend to put in back in there...
Mine was stitched into the vest in a few places, which I only noticed after ripped a nice chunk out. Why have the gaps in the inside mesh to remove the foam...if it's going to be stitched in..and of so low quality as to rip with the lightest touch??!?!

The vest can carry up to 6 pods and a big air tank on your back. having the entire back be velcro was a good move. If you don;t use a remote..get an extra 3 pod holder on there instead.

Over all a good product and the foam isn't really needed...but don't tell me something can be removed if you mean "yuo can ripp out the foam if you want to"

I am 165 lbs i've played 5 games with this vest. Pods and air/co2 tank holder are easily accessible in the REAR while in action. I use a remote coil by pure energy and it made maneuvering very easy in prone/crouch positions. It also has a neat radio/cell phone pouch protector installed and spaces for a cammopak or even water bottles/tools ect. Its nylon therefore if it freys or tears you can easily sew it or take a lighter to the freyed edges. good product for me but i dont recommend to anyone over 225 lbs.

This is a good basic vest for those paintball players who are looking to find something with more back support for paintball play. The vest is extremely affordable, but does lack some of the bells and whistles of more expensive vests, but performs very well.

First off the vest is setup essentially in two sections. A back and a front, both of which are Velcro'd together via the shoulders. This makes the vest fairly adjustable, but it doesn't have the same secure feel as a zip up vest. Let me also note that the vest might not be suitable for larger players. Anyone under six feet tall or under 250 lbs should have no problem adjusting the vest to their liking.

The back pod and air tank holders are secured via velcro and work fine enough, however their long term durability after a year or more of play might wear down. The vest has a nice assortment of holders and pockets. It doesn't have a lot of anything, but it covers all of the bases well. It has four pod packs, an air tank holder, a water bladder holder, a couple of zippered pouches and even slots for 10 round tubes or CO2 canisters. The only real downfall for the setup is that the radio pouch is poorly placed on a clip belt and it moves all over the place. It could have been more securely placed on the shoulders, and it can be modified easily with a little sewing or velcro by the user. The remaining clip works well for securing your mask off the field.

Overall this is an excellent vest for the player who doesn't have a lot to spend or who only needs to carry a moderate amount of paint on the field. It is very flexible and fairly adjustable. The benefit of zippered pouches make it great for securing personal items that you don't want to leave at the bench like your keys or wallet.

this vest is amazing a am a 5'6 guy that weighs 225 ad the vest fits still lose and has extra space this vest holds up to 6 pods 4 big long ones and 2 med ones and had 2 zipper pockets and 3 other pockets in the frnt check out the pictures and yould see i got it today and i love it..! trust me if you are deciding in getting another one dontt wasteeee yout $$$$ and expensive vestt this is the bomb by hands down just need to see how its on the field just buy it you wont be dissapointd

this vest is amazing! i got it to fit me perfectly and it can hold so more than many other vests i've used. money well spent for me.

After just about 6 months of playing 1-2 times a month this vest has started to come apart rapidly. The inner inner lining (not the padding but the "cloth" part) appears to be some plastic cloth weave that deteriorates and start to crumble. I'm shopping for a new one now and have had to settle for doing some remedial sewing and duck tape to keep the current one in working order.
