YAKEDA Tactical Training Vest with PALS System - Multi-Pocket Adjustable Straps Quick-Release Buckle for Hunting

This is fantastic! It is exactly what I wanted in a plate carrier replica. It is easily adjustable. It is comfortable to wear and it adapts to all of the molle pouch assortment. It is durable construction. It fits well and like I said, it adjusts to any size you need. I'll be testing it out to how long it lasts when I'm out on the airsoft fields this year. As for the price? I got it on sale. But, if it lasts for a long time. I'll Definitely consider making this a future purchase.

The material is nice and quality stitching is good, fits well im i am a slightly bigger guy in weight, it has good storage like 7 mag capacity and 3 pistol mags on front, admin pouches on top and bottom are very useful for storing stuff like extra batteries my gloves and small tools. Over all pretty good for its price

Nothing wrong with this carrier aside from coming with weird pouch options. It holds standard level 4 plates well. I'd give it a full 5 stars if it came with more thoughtfully selected pouch options. They should consult some professionals about what should go on a plate carrier instead of packing every available space with random pouches. But this is definitely one of the best value chest rigs for the money. The pouches on it aren't ideal though. The front rifle mag pouches really shouldn't have pistol pouches on them, makes way too much outward bulk on the front. The "admin" pouch on the front is also too thick and can interfere with pulling out rifle mags. The pouches on the back are fairly useless. In general, your front, pistol side, and back should be kept as slick as possible, meaning don't put useless crap there. Load all these pouches to full capacity and try to lay prone or supine, and you're gonna have a bad time. I recommend just removing the admin pouch, all the pouches on the back, and replacing the front rifle mag placard (or cutting off the pistol pouches with a threadripper). The pistol mag pouches do not even fit larger capacity mags, only standard 15/17 round mags. They don't even fit CAT tourniquets, but they'll fit Snakestaff Systems mini tourniquets, possibly other minis but these are the ones I use. The radio pouch isn't ideal either, but I just like the kind that has a hinge on the bottom so the pouch can release forward and downward so you can get to the radio buttons then stick it back to the carrier. The radio pouch ideally will be on your front so you can get to these buttons. You also want to remove all the stuff on your strong side (your pistol side) to ensure a clean pistol draw when needed. I removed the round pouch on the weak side and put the mag pouch from the strong side there in it's place. The rifle mag pouches are also just a bit too slim. You can cram two USGI metal AR mags in each pocket, but it's extremely tight. Magpul and Lancer mags will only fit one mag each pocket. The hangar pouch has a decent amount of room for medical supplies. There's also room behind it where you can get a cylindrical bottle pouch (sold elsewhere by different brands) that can attach to the velcro inside the armor slot. Great for holding a long water bottle or an IcePlate rectangular bottle. The cummerbund has pockets for small side armor plates. Or whatever else you want to put in them. Yakeda also makes a hard water bladder (not included with this carrier) shaped like a plate that can go in the back armor slot. I could only find them on ebay and aliexpress though. Water tasted funny, so I took one of my Sawyer Mini water filters (which have push-fit connectors on each end), then cut the Yakeda's tube a few inches before the mouth piece. Then I connected the Sawyer filter inline between the mouthpiece and the rest of the tube. The Yakeda tube perfectly fits the connectors on the Sawyer Mini, and water comes out almost as fast as not having any filter on it. It has velcro strips along the side edges for securing water tubing/radio cable. Padding is minimal, but the shoulder strap padding is fine. The PALs webbing isn't always in the best position. For example, the webbing on the front has a bottom row that you can't even use because it's too close to where you mount the rifle mag placard. It's also not always evenly spaced everywhere. Also the MOLLE pouches that come mounted on it are not properly woven into the pals webbing, so for the pouches you're keeping on, you'll want to unfasten them and properly weave them in. It looks good and comes in all sorts of colors and patterns so there's likely something that suits your operating environment. I'd say the quality is modest, but it's plenty durable for this price point. Bottom line is if you've got a bunch of friends who say they're coming to your house in the apocalypse, you can outfit a whole crew on the cheap with these. Sure you could spend a little less buying some retrofitted milsurp carriers on ebay, but that stuff is not always in stock.

Great price, and even better product. Came fully assembled, no molly insertion needed. Love the pouches that came with it and love the quick detatch system aswell. Great budget option for airsoft. Only thing i wish was different is if the front panel was removable and if the pistol mags in the front could come off (Which they cant, as they are sown on, not molle.) Love how many pouches they include for storing mags or any other supplies. Doesnt weigh much without anything in it, but oubviously with more gear, itll be heavier. Love the design of the carrier overall and would recommend.

It fits perfect 👍

This vest would be great for Air soft or some sort of Cos-Play, but it's nowhere near solid enough for real use. Granted, I should have expected that considering the price. Adjustments are clunky, the fit is too small, and it's not really worth the money. Spend $30-$50 more and get something that will last a lot longer.

It’s a good carrier there’s better and worse out there. It fits level 4A perfectly. It is comfortable and the quick release system works great. All the pouches are on it which is fine with me. I give it a 5/5

Not bad some of the pouches broke but holds steel plates pretty well ive rucked around my property with it on and everything stays on nothings falls out all around decent if ur on a budget holds up well when running fully kitted out
