Help choosing vest

Can anyone recommend me a good vest? i need something modular, not replica, for woodland or all arround, don't like chest rigs, must have beltloops and something that fits well for a skinny tall guy?
Thanks a lot.

Well first you need to think about whether or not you want an impression (issued) or if you just want an operable vest. Also try and specify the types of mags you want to carry (ie. M16 mags=NATO vest...AK mags=Russian vest).

i'm not looking for any specific impression, and like i said, i want something modular, so i guess it doesn't matter what mags im gonna carry since i can attach whatever pouch i like... am i right?

Okay then, I would recommend the MOLLE LBV. You can attach the MOLLE or ALICE pouches all over it and it can be used with a padded belt. It's only in OD though since it's a mesh base.

thank you, i'll keep that one in mind...
TT's modular vest looks nice, also does Eagle's molle modular vest and BHI strike elite too... any info on those? how about plate carriers? are they good?

I don't have a TT modular vest, I have one of their other vests and am tickled pink with it.

TAG MOLLE vest
TAG plate carrier
HSGI Weesatch/Wasatch

are other ones to look at

How much money are you willing to spend? Do you want Giant Tiger quality, or hardcore-professional-use gear?

Great stuff, great prices. Blows my Blawkhawk vest away (that's a name that'll pop up often enough.

)

Could not connect to tiger tactical...
I prefer hardcore-professional-use and i am willing to spend about US 200 as much, thanks for offering RMV and CIRAS, i like 'em very much, but those are out of my scope.

If you want to play cqb indoor game, check for a black or blue vest
If you want to play outdoor game, check for a camo vest
Check also for the weight, the pouches etc..

$200 US is definately not enough to for a full rig. Just think about it this way, the Eagle HPC costs $198.14 and the Paraclete HPC costs $185.13. Now factor in shipping costs, duties, pouches to put on the HPC itself, and you'll see that it would be pretty difficult to get gear of that caliber for $200.

You might be able to buy a Blackhawk CRH or plate carrier + pouches for $200, but you still have to factor in shipping and duties. Your best option would be to get a non-modular rig so you can save some money.

no, i meant i can pay USD200 just for the modular vest without the pouches, also not counting shipment. Are tiger tactical products made for airsoft?
