About Tactical Vests
The LT Airsoft Tactical Vest Modular Rig Mag Pouch Hydration Pouch Multi Colors by LT works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are often used for holding gear on the airsoft field. These vests and carriers make it easy for players to maintain control of their gear and efficiently run around the battle zone while having all the things they may need to win more objectives. They also have a tacticool operator status appearance to them and shield participant’s bodies from incoming airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests generally have lots of pockets, pouches, and MOLLE accessory panels. This is a balancing act considering that it is a mix of packing what you need in the field but not too much. Prevent carrying so much gear that it weighs you down or prevents you from walking easily through the airsoft field. Some commonly found things in a basic airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Extra airsoft gun mags, sidearms like shotguns or pistols, additional airsoft BBs, red rags, snacks, water for hydration , comms, gun service gear, and knives.
LT Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the LT Airsoft Tactical Vest Modular Rig Mag Pouch Hydration Pouch Multi Colors offer a couple of layers of additional fabric to aid in cushioning the effect of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests feature tough armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have additional cushioning and torso safety, but almost every vest will provide some shielding from incoming airsoft BBs.
One difficulty encountered by playing with thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of equipment attached to them is that game players can not feel their hits very well. In these cases, players should listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or gear is hit by inbound airsoft BBs. Players should follow the airsoft field or match guidelines.
Types of LT Airsoft Vests
There are a number of different types of vests and load-bearing equipment employed in airsoft. As a definition, an airsoft vest is a general term used to characterize anything game players tactically use on the upper half of their bodies and holds airsoft equipment.
The airsoft vest types include pre-made tactical airsoft vests, tactical MOLLE vest platforms, airsoft plate carriers and armor holders, modular chest rigs and tactical half vests, and tactical load-bearing vests (LBV). The LT LT Airsoft Tactical Vest Modular Rig Mag Pouch Hydration Pouch Multi Colors falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are one of one of the most standard kinds of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of the box and are also some of the cheaper vests offered while still maintaining excellent quality and toughness.
These vests are instantly functional and include sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. The magazine pouches are specialised to the vest designs and generally come in M4 or AK47 designs. With pre-made vests, players can often attach a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest. Here they can include things like dump pouches, drop leg holsters, and other belt pouches and add-ons. The airsoft vest back has MOLLE loop attachments for a CamelBak or other things like LED light sticks or a shotgun scabbard.
Sturdiness of Pre-Made Vests
Because these airsoft vests are factory constructed, they are very well made with strong stitching and will generally last for a very long time. We’ve seen a few of these vests worn for so long the colors begin to fade, however they still serve their equipment carrying function. Many airsoft players start playing with one of these vests, resell it in the future, and upgrade to a more customized vest solution.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Make sure the vest you are purchasing will work for holding your particular airsoft gun type magazines. Various styles of pre-made airsoft vests are also readily available. Rifle shotgun tactical vest pouch setups with shotgun shell loops inside pouches.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more customizable and sophisticated airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest style. These modular vests permit each pouch to be shifted and placed individually based upon the desired setup airsoft game players and tactical operators need. The MOLLE webbing employs a hook and loop strap system which enables weapon magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, utility pouches, and weapon holsters to be mounted anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are located. The resulting numerous different combinations, positions, and orientations enable tactical operators to decide on the tailored MOLLE pouch set up for the specific function they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The customized feel and look of MOLLE airsoft vests are great. However, the tactical vest platform and pouches are usually offered separately or in kits which makes them more highly-priced than pre-made airsoft vests. A standard MOLLE vest can be pricey with the pouches costs increasing the costs. A totally loaded MOLLE tactical loadout can cost hundreds of dollars depending upon how many pouches and different kinds of MOLLE pouches are bought. See if you can select MOLLE pouch sets to get your loadout set up if you have already decided to go the MOLLE vest path.
Airsoft Versus Real World MOLLE Equipment
When looking for MOLLE vests, remember airsoft companies make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off pouches and vests run a fraction of the costs of the genuine equipment employed by militaries, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other special ops teams.
How MOLLE Attachments Work
The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are put together to create the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base located on airsoft vests. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which permits straps to be solidly linked to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The entire MOLLE system comes together as operators pick the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or tournament, weave the MOLLE straps through the loops on the pouches and vest panels, and secure the snaps on the straps to keep the pouches in place. The result is an incredibly tailored airsoft vest with the look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers look like basic MOLLE vests and many of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and elements. This makes it simple to employ and switch MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and basic MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold actual or replica ballistic level III3A plates or ceramic plates. Airsoft players use these plate carrier vests for an increased coolness factor and can even run realistic or simulation ballistic plates and panels to mimic an operational loadout or war loadout.
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
Tactical modular chest rig vests usually only have front and back panels that can hold body armor plates. They resemble plate carrier vests and also have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are varied from MOLLE vests due to the fact that they are more low-profile and can be used over or under other clothes like coats, uniforms, vests, and large garments reasonably quickly. The side straps on modular chest rigs also adjust more than standard plate carrier vests. Slicks are just modular chest rig vests but without the MOLLE accessories that makes them smooth or slick. These sort of airsoft vests are less helpful for carrying gear because they do not have pouches. They are frequently employed for props as civilian role game players or uniform builds for a specific period modeled after a famous military unit that used them like the Navy Seals.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall into this category. Half vests are half of a tactical vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They come in handy to use for airsoft and can be put on quickly in the course of a gun battle hence the namesake. They normally have capacities for 6 M4 magazines in the front (or similarly sized weapon magazines) with MOLLE or taco pouches in the front for handgun magazines, utility pouches, medical equipment, and other add-on pouches. The harness is kept in position by a set of shoulder straps and the back of the vest is open. This kind of airsoft vest can also be worn over top of other types of gear and vests.
Tactical Load-Bearing Vests (LBVs)
Tactical load-bearing vests are a few of the most traditional vests to run for airsoft. These vest styles were used throughout battlefields like Vietnam and Desert Storm. They hold a place in military history and now are adopted on lots of airsoft fields. These airsoft tactical vests include 6 integrated M4 magazine pouches with 2 smaller grenade pouches. If needed, they have loops to link a U.S. G.I. web belt where airsoft players can feature more pouches and ammunition dump bags. The back of the vest has connections for a buttpack. The vest straps for the shoulders and sides adjust to little and bigger-sized airsoft participants which make this vest truly versatile.
