Hydration Rigs

Guys, I was considering getting something like the one in the link for short games, games at the end of the day, and as a high speed, low drag rig. Does anybody own one of these? If so, any tips or reviews you can give me? Does anybody who doesn't own one have any opinions or tips about these sorts of rigs? Thanks in advance guys!

Looks very similar to the old military LBV's which i used when i first started playing airsoft. They're ok, of course they lack the customization MOLLE and ALICE gives you but for what you're wanting it for it should do the job. Plus mine was always pretty comfortable and cooler to wear on really hot days then a MOLLE plate carrier is.

Just a question... What does this have to do with "Hydration Rigs"?

Well, those sort of vests are generally called "Hydration Rigs" because they have a hydration carrier on the back.

Here's another one of those vests; this type is actually what I want.

If any of you have links to another site I could buy these types of vest from, please post up! Thanls

These are copy's of a South African "battle jacket" or "battle vest", not to be confused with the M83 chest rig. The SA's call it a M83, real ones come in foliage green and nutria brown. They run relatively cheap for a real vest(50-ish, methinks).

And those do have the hydration carrier, right?
Thanks, sticks

It has a pouch, I don't believe it comes with a hydro though...

Okay, shouldn't be too hard to get then. I can just order one of the Condor bladders off ASGI or something. That site you linked me to, are they reliable?

1: yes, but I would recommend a brand name hydro bladder. If you go to a bike store you can usually pick up a Cammelback brand insert for under $20.

2:IDK, they look legit. Never bought from them, but judging by their descriptions they are very knowledgeable. I probably would buy from them in the future (they have some great SADF gear).

Okay, I will keep that in mind. Thanks for all the help, sticks!
