YAKEDA Tactical Weighted Vest With Quick Release Buckle Laser-Cutting Lightweight Vest Back Ziiper Combination with Backpack

This tactical vest is attached by velcro at the shoulders, making it easy to adjust for the right fit. It has pockets in the front to keep all of your gear. A good vest to wear outside or use in an unforeseen emergency situation. We haven't used it outside or at the range yet.

At first glance product seemed good. The fit is great easy to put together and adjust to size. Love the quick release, gave four stars only because it's a tight fit for my soft kevlar but made it work! If using plates they will fit perfect.

From some vests I have tried this is the one that has the most adjustable settings. You can adjust the straps with both velcro and buckles. Changing the pouches is extremely easy just by pulling it out. It is not super heavy, and is compatible with different velcro accessories. The quality of the fabric is really good and fits most of the body shapes. Overall my experience with this vest has been really good and I will definitely recommend it.

After using this vest out at the range a few times, here's what I think about Yakeda's "weighted" vest. Notice I put weighted in quotes there. I'm not sure where the weight in mine went, but this kind of just feels like a regular plate-less carrier. I don't think I'd consider this vest weighted. That's really the only knock I have on it. Other than that, this vest is actually decent enough to train in. I wouldn't bet my life on it, but for larping/airsoft, this vest is perfect. The overall quality of the vest is decent and has been enjoyable to use so far. Let me be clear, I have not put this thing through the ringer. I go to the range a lot and use it to hold things. I'm not going to mil-sim events. However, I think it would serve you well even in that. I wouldn't expect it to last terribly long under strenuous use, but as I have said, it's fine for most airsoft and larping. The vest is pretty comfortable and highly adjustable. The quick release functions as it should. There's plenty of molle. For $100, I think this is a good value. I would recommend this product.

I have to say I'm impressed with the heavy-duty nature and use of quality materials in the design of this tactical vest. I am a retired law enforcement officer and this does rival department-issued equipment. Fully adjustable Velcro shoulder straps and cumberbund strap around the waist so it will fit most people. The rapid open shoulder and waist connectors make taking it on and off quicker and easier. Those connectors have elastic tabs that need a simple tug to unlock and release. The front side has 3 magazine pouches with elastic security cords and Velcro closures. The inside is layered with breathable netting material to help with circulation keeping the wearer cool. The backside has a rescue handle useful in team operations. The front and back have a looped Velcro panel for displaying department insignia. There are also small cutout slits for attaching any number of other smaller items.

I really like the buckles on this vest - it's a sliding mechanism that clips the shoulder straps to the front panel. There is a piece that holds it in place, and with the right pressure the clips can be detached. There is also a velcro strip that keeps the shoulder straps in place while adjusting the clip. Overall the vest is a bit on the heavier side. The shoulder straps are padded and there's loop material underneath. The grab handle on the back is flush, but can be quickly accessed. The webbing is standard and accepts the pouches and pods I'm using easily. The front includes a large kangaroo-like pouch that holds four magazine pouches with bungee straps. There is a mesh fabric underneath the entire vest that does help with breathability since the exterior fabric is solid and heavy duty. The only think I don't like as much is the shortness of the lower panel. I'm not a big guy, but it does ride a bit high above the belt line. This would work well for a duty belt. The vest includes a couple surprises I wasn't expecting - zippers for expandability and a hidden inside pouch. This vest will work very well for airsoft or paintball.

Update:Some of the weight is coming from included hard magazine holders at the front. Also, the side plate carriers are heavy weight nylon, which again is fine. I think the quality does justify the weight, but that is a decision for you.Original:While I love the quick release and the general fit, I can't help but be surprised by how heavy this thing is. I think I'd look around for something lighter. I just don't think the material choices here are all great, especially around the magazine holders and adjustment hook and loop. That said it is certainly great quality. The quick release clips are indeed quick release and they are really great. And the plate carriers are indeed all good with internal strapping. Again , though, I feel like less is more with these vests.

Description says up to 45.5" inch waist, but I struggled to get it to fit around my 42" gut. Besides that I am very happy with the construction and design.
