MT Military Modular Vest Breathable Adjustable Quick Release Vest for Adult

I have a handful of vests and figured I would give this one a go. The first thing I noticed was that it was very light and flexible. My more expensive beats and even some of the ones I have in this price range are far more rigid. The quick release is nice and would come in handy if the vest needed to be shed quickly. There is almost zero breathability in the back of the vest. Once plates are added the sweat starts building up. I have another vest that has a breathable panel in the front and back to prevent the super sweats. The buckles seem durable but time will tell. I’m going to put this vest through the paces and I will update if anything changes but so far it’s a decent vest for the price point.

Very durable. Adjusts to all levels of body sizes. I love the shoulder pads, they make it extra comfortable when carrying weight. It has large side pouches that can be used for plates. The front mag pouches allows for quick swap of kits setups. The all the straps have durable slide stops that are high grade. It is adjusts well. The torso straps have a suspension backing that expands when you breathe or squat. This allows you to ware the vest tight and responds to heavy breathing well. I ordered two vests, one for me and one for my son. We are very different in size. It allows you to remove and adjust the strapping to fit him comfortable and vice versa, it fits me really well too. The mag pouch is awesome, it holds three M4/AEG mags, two pistol mags (G33), and one radio no problem. It is really rugged and lightweight. Love this vest a lot.

I really wanted to like this vest. I really really did. Nice pattern, has the quick disconnects, has ample MOLLE loops, has Velcro for cool patches, has a drag strap, etc. No side ballistic protection, but none was advertised. So many cool options. But it has two fatal flaws:Adjustability: If you market something as a "plate carrier", it needs to be able to carry plates appropriately to protect you. Common easy way of setting this up is to have the top of the plate at the notch where your collar bone splits. (See final picture). When you put actual Level III plates in, this is very difficult in this vest. To adjust this for someone who is 5'7", you have to mess with the shoulder straps past the point of the Velcro sticking. I have to rely solely on the shoulder pads to hold the straps together. When you look at the shoulder straps, there is too much wasted space that isn't adjustable on each side.Quick DC buckles: When I do adjust it properly, the shoulder pads are on my back and what is on my shoulders? The quick DC buckles. So all the weight from the plates or the mags or the whatever you have on your vest is resting on plastic resting on your collar bones. Supremely uncomfortable.Like I said, I really really wanted to use this. The price point is easily half a 5.11 set up, so I was super excited. However, it cannot carry the plates in a way that will actually protect me, so its now just a cosplay/airsoft item.

I like it. In fact, I think it will be perfect for adding some low cost ballistic protection. It has plenty of fit features and is well made. The plate carrier areas come with rubberized foam in the shape of a 10x12 plate. So it fits and feels like a vest with soft armor. But it isn't armor, so don't try it for that purpose...However, like I said, this is a well made modular vest with a whole MOLLE system and I think it will work well for range time or paint ball games or even a poor guy's protection if one should seek such a thing. Does it compare to the higher end vests? Likely not but for the cost, this is really nice.Update: Just wanted to add an update note about this chest rig. The shoulder straps present a bit of an issue to me. Any chest rig that is designed to “be able” to offer ballistic protection should be able to fit high and tight. It’s here the problem exists. The straps are hook and loop and shortening the shoulder straps enough to be high and tight leaves very little area for the hook and loop to connect. I’m 6’ tall and my torso is long. So for someone shorter, this could be an issue.Again, strictly in the sense of ballistic protection, should someone want to add plates or soft armor, this may be an issue. If you just want to have a great MOLLE system on a great chest rig and don’t really care about the protection, this is a great value.Pictures posted. See the issue is that the shoulder straps have a blank area with no hook and loop material. So trying to tighten only works a bit but makes it very difficult to have this high and tight. I’m lowering by one star because I see this as a big flaw.

Not very well made and has a horrible smell

This assault vest appears and feels very durable as well as a good quality build. Straps are easily adjustable and shoulder straps are very comfortable. Vest is very light weight in itself. Entire vest is adjustable to fit all shirt sizes up to 2XL and waist size up to 51 in. The shoulder buckle is a quick release buckle designed to easily pull and drop the vest's equipment in a moments' notice. Vest can hold multiple mags as well as other small pieces of equipment. This is a well-made tactical assault vest.

I like the quick-release buckles and the MOLLE seems like it'll hold up over time. I'm not a huge fan of the zipper back, all it makes me wanna do is purchase an extra back panel.

This military/tactical vest is great. The material is definitely heavy duty. Has multiple uses. My husband is using the vest as a weighted vest. The pockets are big enough to slide in weights and it holds them securely while he does his workouts. He has done sprints and other workouts in it and it has held up great. Very sturdy vest. Easy to adjust when putting it on and a easy release to get it off quickly.
