Most of us can say that we have had a cross-draw vest as one of your 1st purchases for airsoft.
One of the people that is on our team now runs this vest. He is 5’4 and it fits his small frame well.
First of all the quality really stands out as #1. I got it to complement my M4 and 1911. I can only fit one M4 mag per pouch but that's OK with me. The 1911 fits fine as well as the magazines. The vest is full adjustable and quite large. The back of the vest is all mollie, very nice. I do wish the shotgun shell pouch would hold each shell by elastic. That would be a nice improvement. The belt has two addition pouches for an extra mag or knife. The belt is a nice quality. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it to a friend. With a couple manufacturing modifications, this could well suit police or military.
Pros:
·         Fit and craftsmanship is really well done.
Very adjustable for different sized people
