Looking for a tactical vest

[BD]

Requirements

* Cheap (as passable)
* Zipper/buckle front (rather than over the head type)
* Front pod pouches (I use 50's)
* Tank holder on back (vert or horz)
* Radio pouch

I had a Flurry way back when but didn't like it much - It was a first generation vest - pulled down in the back - front lifted up - choked me.

I know most of you guys use vests so I thought I'd give it another shot.

So what do you guys think?

Since you are a cheap bastard...Since I ws going to say custom spec-ops.... anyways, check out Rap-4. My first vest when switching over to scenario was one of these. I didn't like the pods being in front for when I was crawling. So I got my specops one.

I gave the vest to I think Dirty and he was going to use it as a base for his new one.

Basically, you buy the vest and add on what you want to it.

So all you will have to order is a tank pouch...

I have a very used rap4 vest for sale and just bought a new TAC Ten vest from them. I like them very much.

I was looking at this package deal. It seems to have everything I need. 4 pod pouches (I don't carry much paint cause i don't shoot much), a radio pouch, tank pouch on the back, a couple of storage pouches, water and I can get it in basic black for formal events.

What do you guys think of this one??

[scooter]

Yeah, get it ;D

[Jet]

What he said.

[BD]

FINE!

I did ;D

[BD]

I should get me vest today ;D

Wow, it took a while for the order to get here. Was shipped last Friday and is only getting here today (Thursday).

The modular aspect looks pretty cool. I should be able to spend at least as much as the vest costs to alter configurations

[Jet]

lol, yeah but they are good vests.

[BD]

Got the vest yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the choice. It's well made, comfortable and rather dapper looking which is important to a fashion conscience paintballer like myself.

The modular design will be great since I can change the configuration simply by un-snapping and removing sections to add things like a holster, 12 gran and 10 round tube accessories for night play.

Rap4 has enough other add-on accessories for this vest to keep me broke for years to come

The (predominately mesh material) vest came with:

2 - 2x 100/140 pod holders (lower front left and right)
1 - utility pouch (upper left)
1 - fold out map/scenario pouch (upper right)
1 - radio pouch (left shoulder)
1 - horizontal tank pouch (middle back)
1 - Camel back set-up
2 - large inside mesh zipper pockets
belt stays

all for $98.00 (that's with shipping added in)

it has un-used modular areas all across the lower back and on both the left and right sides for future expansion.

Thanks for pointing me in the Rap4 direction Scooter and Jet.

What no spatula holder

I'll have to buy the optional Kitchen Pouch. It's 4 utensils holders and 3 spice compartments. It replaces one of the pod holders on the front of the vest. Only $19.95 ;D

pretty cheesy but somehow I can see this happening

That is sooooo funny but why can I see you in that clip.

But with WAY more equipment. That guy was grilling way too light on the pouches and optional carry-a-longs. A situation that I know you would never let yourself be caught in.
