| You can get these from Allen Paintball here. Fit-Size This vest fits great, and is advertised as "1 size fits all", which is really nice because if I get bigger or something, I can just adjust it a little bit. It fits nice and snug, and doesn't bounce all of you're paintballs around in the pods while running if fitted properly. It has 6(3 on each side) snap lock things on the sides(slide webbing through then push down to lock). Once tightened, The sides fit very well. It has 3 buckles on the front as well, that can also be adjusted. The adjustable shoulder's are nice too. Rated 9 out of 10, because the lock things on the side come undone rather easily(I haven't had it come undone while playing, though). This is remedied easily by wrapping it in electrical(or duct) tape. Finish-Bling This vest looks a lot better than the picture. on the website(which doesn't look that bad). Everything is sewn on, and I'm fairly sure you could send it back to Allen Paintball to get it added on if you wanted something in the future(I kept off on grenade pouches for money reasons). Rated 9 out of 10 because it doesn't have the cool looking logo's or Camouflage's colors as a Special Ops vest. Install-Maintanence There isn't much too this category. The only problem I could tell so far is that paint seemed hard to get off. Though, I'm sure a couple minutes with some soap and water will clean it. Value per Dollar This has a great value. Mine was $44 with 4 pods and a radio pouch. It is very customizable, and some of the stuff Special ops charges extra for(Adjustable shoulders) are standard. The vest has a $25 base price, and most of the accessories are around $4(4 pods=$16, Radio/accessory pouch=$3). Other things worth mentioning The radio pouch could get in you're way while shouldering you're gun. Doesn't bother me, though. It is an option to get the pod's upside down. I like this feature alot, because I can just undo the velcro and put my hand below it to do it in one quick motion, instead of opening it and pulling up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Allen Paintball Vest I like the "cigar tube holder" option. After a successful day at the field, kicking butt and taking names, you can fire up a Cuban cigar like "Dutch." |

| Re: Allen Paintball Vest Thanks a lot I think I'm gonna get one. I have two questions though is the material really tuff and do you think it would fit a 6 foot 3 really heavy guy. |

| Re: Allen Paintball Vest Can we get an actual picture of the vest posted? The link does not show an actual VEST, but the base for it without all the stuff added. And unlike the system SO has up for custom ordering, the one shown here does not seem to update your pictures to show you how it will actually look. |
