| Well, I haven't yet had an opportunity to field my rig, but I wanted to talk about a few things I've noticed.
Here are my gripes: When wearing full utilities, it is very, very warm, which can be par for the course, so it's not a major thing. The arm pro and neck pro are not needed and merely get in the way, so I have removed them. There is lots of MOLLE real estate on the vest, but don't get all excited yet. The webbing no was stitched on with very shitty attention to detail. The little slots for the MOLLE attaching things (can't remember the name atm) are either very wide or very small. Most of the pouches on my rig are not attached completely because of this, and it causes a lot of noise. Honestly, I don't like this vest merely because of the shitty stitching. When it comes down to it, I don't think I would recommend it. For $90, this vest seems to be a rip off. | |

| And that is why i'm getting Pantac gear in the future. I haven't been impressed with the made in China clones myself. | |

| Yeah, right now, I am pissed about it. I've decided to try to find one made by Point Blank Body Armor, the company that manufactured the IBA back when the Corps widely used it. Apparently, there's a shop here down in the South Valley that is a licensed distributor to Point Blank Body Armor, so I may try to go down there. The hard part will be not getting shot by the gangs in the South Valley while I'm down there, haha | |

| Well you're going to a body armor store so I don't see a problem I have noticed that slightly on my plate carrier, but it's not an issue for me, I still like OE Tech.. | |

| I'm not normally one to "Watch your language" about things like this, but the problem is it's everywhere. Every other stitch is screwed up. I can't put my pouches on correctly, it's that bad. | |
