This is a great vest, in fact I'm wearing one right now at work. This is my second one in almost four years, but the first one is still good, it's now at home wearing a PAZRT patch. It held up well under decent abuse, being stuffed into a small locker after 12 hour shifts and thrown in the washing machine about once a month. The BH pouches wore out faster than the vest.
A word of warning, its thick so it gets very hot, almost as much as my plate carrier.

Another good video NMO4! I'm seriously considering ordering one. Lots of pros. I have a cheapo from an Airsoft company now. Works well enough but as you said,"You get what you pay for." One of my girth straps ripped and I'm not certain the drag tag will hold up when I need it. Do you have any problem with slipping when you shoulder your rifle with those pads? Have you worn any armor under it? I wear my IIIA under the current vest and it is a bit cumbersome.

Awesome review. I have been eyeing these up, but after your review I think I'm going to stick with the flexibility my Paraclete plate carrier gives me. Thanks for putting this up.
