    I'd get something you'll probably be happier with in the long run.

    A lot of people started with THIS, myself included. For the price range, can't really go wrong. Good enough quality, holds ammo and water to start with, you can just add more pouches when you have more money.

    well why not just get the vest with the pistol holster and the mag pouches, ect. allready in for the same price, and this 1 is made of breathable nylon, and that looksa thick, and heavy. thanks tho for the suggestion!

    Re: New Gear

    Well, the reason I say to avoid the crossdraw, and I'm sure plenty of people will tell you the same thing, is because they're unmodular, unhelpful, and you're going to spend the money for something better down the road anyway, so you might as well drop it now.

    First off, Crossdraws usually end up being peoples first vests because of the price and the quantity of which flood the airsoft market. You may notice that few, if any players who have been in the sport for a long time use crossdraw vests. Plenty use fixed-pouch vests, but crossdraws have a few major flaws in design.

    The first and foremost, you're sacrificing the ability to adapt your gear to your playing style, your specific role, etc. The rig you're interested in will allow you to carry 3-6 mags, depending on how well it's made, a sidearm, 4 pistol mags or similar sized items, a small radio and whatever you can fit in the limited GP space. The pouch placement is poor any way you look at it.

    For instance, the mags are on your strong side, ie, the hand you're holding your rifle with, even though the rest of the vest is designed for rightys (ie, holster, shoulder). It's going to be cumbersome, and take longer for you to draw mags from that side, and that's the only place mags are going to be, since the pouches are fixed. The crossdraw holsters are generally slow to draw, if you're left handed you're also out of luck. The GP space is limited, but overall I'm guessing for a light kit it'll work. You'll have you buy your own hydration carrier.

    I'd recommend that you take some time and look at other vests, consider raising your budget, and look at a broader spectrum of gear than what Evike offers, if you haven't already.

    If I were you I would listen to rigs. That MOLLE vest is a great buy, because it is of good quality for a very low price. That vest will also help your loadout look more milsim and better. I would recommend not to get a crossdraw vest.

    I have a crossdraw that suits me for now because I have highcaps and I rarely switch mags. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get screwed when I buy midcaps.

    I communicate in three ways, and three ways only. English, Hand Signals, and 6mm. One way or another, I get the message across.

    I would look on ebay in the stores. You can get a molle platecarrier with a decent amount of pouches for only $30. But since its coming from australia, the shipping is $30 also. http://cgi.ebay.com/USMC-NAVY-MOD-MO...QQcmdZViewItem

    they come in any color

    Ehobbyasia is in australia... Lol. Hong Kong.

    My first vest was from ehobbyasia. Was something like THIS. The quality was good, held up a long time, and is still working... but I needed to make the switch to molle. The vest was just... inhibiting for lack of a better word.
