vAv YAKEDA Tactical Outdoor Vest Quick Release Adjustable Hunting Vest with PALS Molle System

I was very hesitant after reading the reviews because I an actually 6'5" 275lbs.... after about 5 minutes of putting it on, taking it off, adjusting, and repeating I was able to get a great fit! Stitching seems very durable, velcro is of good quality (loudest may not be good for silent tasks)... I use mine as a tool when hog hunting and am in the woods for multiple days... my walther 9mm full size fit perfect with the spare mag. Leatherman, extra flashlight, 2way radio, spare knife, wire saw, and hydration system fit very nice and the weight distributed nicely... do to my height the belt won't do me much good because the vest ends just at/below my belly button... but not a deal breaker for the price... even with 3 full AR mags I doubt the weight would be too bad as the vest design seems to carry the weight nicely (haven't tried it yet).... I'm going to be using it this weekend on my last weekend of bow season and see how it holds up packed and in use as I have to walk a half mile to my stand... but from initial appearance and fit, I would definately recommend it to any recreational outdoorsman, bug out, prepper, etc type person... may buy another for a co-worker for christmas

Great plate carrier easy to adjust and very comfortable!

The phrase "Army Fans" in the title is actually a good clue as to the suitability of this vest, I think. I open by admitting freely that I stopped at 4 stars because I am not qualified to rate the item as a serious user. As a moderately skilled shooter, and simply unable to resist the low price, I bought the vest fully knowing that I will have little, if any, compelling reason to use it. I will wear it at the range, just to become comfortable and familiar with it, and learn how to load it and access things. My only other very likely use it perhaps as part of a costume around Halloween. Having said all that - the build quality seems reasonable to me. If you adjust it too tight for your trunk, you can, pretty easily, pull the zipper apart, so that's a rather critical adjustment. It is a plastic zipper. I suspect that metal ones resist pulling open better. Still, why adjust the vest tight enough to make the proboem, so, make of that what you will. I did get AR magazines and my Taurus 24/7 G2 .45 magazines in the intended holders. As others have stated, I don't see being able to get two AR magazines in the pockets, but given my uses it's not a problem. I suppose that if civilized society falls apart and I am actually defending out streets, I might have a different take on that. I'll go on record as saying I don't expect any such thing, so I'm not going to worry about that. The pocket for radio is too small for my Baofeng UV82 UHF/VHF radio, but that's a sort of general purpose radio. Smaller, "tacical" radios might fit fine. I just moved it to the right top pocket, which is more than big enough.I very much like the belt positioning and sizing arrangement. The belt hangs from the vest by a number of velcro or snap straps. You have to undo all of those and remove the belt to size it easily. You could probably leave a few closed and leave it attached, but it hardly seems worth juggling. The belt sizing is with considerable overlap of velcro strips. You get the size right, then put it back in the mounting straps, and it seems very well held. A note: Notice that the belt is suspended from the vest, so if you're not hanging things on it, the size can be just adequate to hold everything still. If you want to hang, for instance, a holster, you will want to adjust the belt tight enough to transfer that weight to your hips. A noted that several folks do that, because the velcro mounting for the holster on the left side lower front of the vest does not seem adequate to hold a firearm of significant size or weight, especially if you're actually moving around quickly at all.The material itself is certainly thick and seems well made. The adjustment to trunk size is simple and allows for following your lines, so whether your spare tire is showing these days or you're lean and mean, you can shape it to fit you nicely.I guess I think overall that this is a fine hobbyist vest, for someone like me, more serious than just costume gear, but not really for serious tactical uses. With a price in the high 30s, I found that a reasonable and fun acquisition. A few hunting friends even decided that it would do for most of their hunting rounds, if they were of a mind to wear such a thing, which most of them don't seem to be. It's not a hunting jacket. If you're looking for serious tactical, I'd say look elsewhere. For everything else, this is probably fine.

Great vest, holds up to every need for airsofting, its comfortable, it holds my 3 liter camelback, holds 4 AK-47 mag and 4 Walter ppq mags, holds my phone safely on the inner pocket, I keep a speed loader and a flashlights in the belt pouches, I removed the shot gun shell holder and put some patches on it. It holds up quite well doesn't get dirty and the handle on the back is very strong good for hanging the vest.

High quality vest, however there is no quick release as advertised, not necessarily a deal breaker but would be nice if it actually came with it

The vest, is very nice. I love, it fits nice super cool for the amount I paid. (SWEET)!!

Wow this is a great tactical vest plenty of pockets and Velcro.Mmade with very heavy duty material. Very adjustable and fits nicely when loaded down with items. The only thing,if you use Ar extended 40rd mags they do fit in the ammo pockets but you can't close the Velcro top straps but you can put them in the internal pockets with ease. Or you can get the extended pouches from 5.11 and add them to the vest. But overall an awesome vest.

Fits well, looks great, holds a lot of tactical gear but has not been tested under duress so hard to determine if it will hold up. I am crossing my fingers.
