For a grass field that's fairly large, would it be smarter to buy a BDU or a tactical vest?

For a grass feild MARPAT would work best but then in the fall (if you play in the fall) your camo wouldent be as effecitve. It also depends on wether or not you like high-caps or not having a high-cap or two you wouldent need a vest you could carry them in your pockets. With mid-caps than a vest would be your best bet because it would be really annoying to carry around 6 mags in your pockets.

Hm, I'm probably gonna carry a pistol too, but the AK I'm getting has a mag clamp with two hicaps and I might be buying more magazines, so?

Also, would like white pants and like a brownish tshirt work as well?

I personally like MOLLE vests. You might want to look at them, their really nice.
Their really customizable to whatever you like. I'm just saying.

Hmm. I see.

I might need one when I get more magazines, but as of now, it's just two 600rd hicaps.

Cover your white pants in dirt and other crude. Then Camo tape grass and such on them.
I'd go with Camo/BDUs AND a vest the vest for carrying stuff and the BDU's for camouflaging

You can find a few packages from Condor that have the pouches included. But half the pouches you either can''t use or you wont need to use them. I would suggest you drop enough cash on a MOLLE vest and a mag pouch or two, then build it up as you realize what pouches you need more than others. Ie, I know people that hardly use maps or any mapping tool(ie GPS), so an ADMIN pouch would not be necessary for their vest. Or if they do use maps frequently(me!) then maybe a larger shotgun pouch would be better because it saves them space(me Very Happy ! ).

-I have owned that vest, its nice but the lack of MOLLE space in the middle was a little troubling, I would recomend a vest with side buckles instead of a cross draw with a zipper on the front.

But as the other posts stated, go with some BDU's before you get a vest. A vest should be high on your list of "to buys" though.

Other, IMO better vests,

It says it's adjustable for all sizes, but I'm guessing it's adjustable for all ADULT sizes?
