ACU Tatical Vest Sugestions

Hey everyone I'm new here and I was wondering
what y'all would suggest for a tactical vest (I would like it to be ACU) and i don't want any nylon stuff
I need it to last a long time and my use for it is for carrying my M14 mags and all my battery's and smoke bombs and stuff (My price range in from $20-$50).
I have look at these on Evike.com for vests and here is what I've found so far

People say this one has a neck piece for support... But say its a pain to go prone.

This one i think is made out of nylon because if you look at the tan color one its shiny and not very sturdy.

If any one can give some advise, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

This one got good reviews, but it will only hold magazines chambered for 5.56, not for your M14 7.62. You MIGHT be able to swap out mag holsters, but you should check around.

I'd get a MOLLE vest honestly. They're more expensive but i know you can get pouches that are made for M14 mags. Plus there's a whole bunch of designated and utility pouches available so you can get them for all the other stuff you want to carry.

ya u coul customize the MOLLE to ur liking so u don't have extra stuff but i like the first one better fro ur choices

Well on the vest description it says that i will hold like 3 mags(which I'm guessing thats for like M4's and AK's)
But would it hold like just one M14 mag?


Oh and I have changed what camo I'm looking for... well from looking more closely at my land
I play mostly in forests so i am thinking i want to get some collor that would look good with Woodland DIGITAL.

I was thinking that tan and WLD wood look good from a picture i saw

Ok well i was looking some and found this one...

I have the black version of that one and there's no way you're fitting M14 mags in that vest.

I wouldn't recommend mixing colors unless you WANT to stand out. As far as camouflage goes, MARPAT (woodland digital) and Woodland are both good choices for woods and underbrush, and also work well at night. ACU, I find isn't as versatile, but I'd assume it would blend in well with concrete, sand, and any sort of bleached out, sunny, dry environment. It doesn't work at night. I've never used multicam, but I hear it's decent in all environments. I don't know anything about tiger stripe. Anything more exotic than those, I'd assume would be more expensive.

As far as solid colors go, I would only go that way if you're not into stealth. If you don't feel you need to be stealthy, go ahead and get whatever looks cool.

That's my two cents worth

Well, ultimately you can buy whatever you want, but this is my favorite site for vests, pouches, etc. I still haven't actually ordered anything from them, but I like their stuff. A lot of it will be out of your price range, and you don't like nylon, but if it helps, there it is.

Well actually I just want something that wont tear.
Which nylon to me seems to unravel when it gets a rip or small tear in it
But so ya as long as its good quality stuff then its okay with me
I'm trying to get the best buy with my money.

Yeah, I hear ya. Like I said, I haven't bought anything from them, and I can't find any online reviews for the site so I'm kind of weary of that. Do a google search and switch to shopping results. That's helped me find what I want where it's significantly cheaper than where I originally found it. So once you know exactly what you want, google shopping can find you the best price if you haven't already found it.

Okay i have another question...
How does the MOLLE pouches attach to the MOLLE vest?

MOLLE gear has little loops on it that pouches and things attach to. Just look at pics of it, you'll see what I mean. MOLLE stuff is designed to be easily customizable with pouches.

Agreed omega the vest themselves you can buy a $40 one and just add pouchs slowly.

Ya but then if you do it slowly (which i would have to do or just not get MOLLE) then you would have to make purchases like every month or week...
Which the shipping price would be high.

No i mean slowly as in rab 1 or 2 per Bday or cristmas dude its affordable.

Ya i guess... I just like the sound of having it all at once
Do you have MOLLE?
