About Tactical Vests
The Elite Tribe Airsoft Military Molle Vest Combat Tactical LBT 1961A R Style Load Bearing Chest Rig by Elite Tribe works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are standard for carrying equipment on the airsoft field. These vests and carriers make it easy for participants to maintain control of their gear and efficiently move around the battle zone while having the right gear they require to win more objectives. They also have a tacticool operator status appeal to them and safeguard player’s bodies from incoming airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests typically have lots of pockets, pouches, and MOLLE attachment panels. This is a balancing act given that it is a mix of packing what you need in the field however not unnecessary amounts of gear. Stay away from carrying so much gear that it weighs you down or hinders you from moving efficiently throughout the airsoft field. Some commonly found items in a standard airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Extra airsoft gun magazines, sidearms like shotguns or pistols, extra airsoft BBs, red rags, snacks, water for hydration , radios, weapon repair kits, and multitools.
Elite Tribe Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the Elite Tribe Airsoft Military Molle Vest Combat Tactical LBT 1961A R Style Load Bearing Chest Rig offer a few layers of additional material to aid in cushioning the force of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests include plastic armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have additional cushioning and torso safety, however almost every vest will use some protection from incoming airsoft BBs.
One obstacle faced by playing with thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a lot of gear connected to them is that game players can not feel their hits very well. In these cases, team players should listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or equipment is struck by incoming airsoft BBs. Team players should follow the airsoft field or game rules.
Types of Elite Tribe Airsoft Vests
There are a few distinct types of vests and load-bearing equipment worn in airsoft. As a definition, an airsoft vest is a general term used to define anything team players tactically don on the upper half of their bodies and holds airsoft gear.
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 Elite Tribe Elite Tribe Airsoft Military Molle Vest Combat Tactical LBT 1961A R Style Load Bearing Chest Rig falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are among one of the most basic forms of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of the box and are a few of the less expensive vests offered while still keeping good quality and resilience. Numerous airsoft brands manufacture pre-made vests including Condor with their Elite Tactical Vest, BLACKHAWK! with their Omega Tactical Vest, and Classic Army with their Tactical Cross Draw Vest. If you are playing airsoft on a tight budget, pre-made tactical airsoft vests are a good find.
These vests are instantly functional and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. With pre-made vests, game players can typically connect a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest.
Sturdiness of Pre-Made Vests
Since these airsoft vests are factory built, they are well made with strong stitching and will generally last for a long time. We have seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors start to fade, but they still serve their equipment bearing purpose. Many airsoft participants start playing with a version of these vests, resell it in the future, and upgrade to a more customized vest option.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Try to find the best kind of pre-made vest you need. Some have integrated magazine pouches for AR-15/ M4 magazines while others have AK-47 magazine sizing. Make certain the vest you are purchasing will work for holding your particular airsoft gun type magazines. Various designs of pre-made airsoft vests are also available. They include the following. Magazine carrier vest setups which include 6x AK-47 to 12x M4 magazine slots (depending upon size of magazine inserted). Cross-draw pistol holster combinations with a 3x or 6x magazine pouch on the opposite side. Rifle shotgun tactical vest pouch setups with shotgun shell loops inside pouches. EOD vests (explosives ordnance detection) with lots of admin pouches. Grenadier vests with lots of grenade pockets for M203 shells.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more adjustable and sophisticated airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest design. These modular vests enable each pouch to be relocated and placed individually based upon the desired setup airsoft participants and tactical operators require. The MOLLE webbing employs a hook and loop strap system which allows weapon magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, communications pouches, and weapon holsters to be mounted anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are found. The resulting hundreds of different combos, positions, and orientations enable tactical operators to decide on the personalized MOLLE pouch set up for the particular function they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The customized look and feel of MOLLE airsoft vests are great. The tactical vest platform and pouches are usually sold individually or in sets which makes them more costly than pre-made airsoft vests.
Airsoft Versus Military MOLLE Gear
When looking for MOLLE vests, keep in mind airsoft companies make replicas of real military tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off vests and pouches run a fraction of the prices of the real equipment employed by armed forces, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops teams.
How MOLLE Accessories Work
The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are put together to produce the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base seen on airsoft vests. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which make it possible for the straps to be securely connected to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The whole MOLLE system comes together as operators choose the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or mission, weave the MOLLE straps through the loops on the pouches and vest panels, and fasten the snaps on the straps to keep the pouches in place. The result is an extremely tailored airsoft vest with the feel and look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble standard MOLLE vests and numerous MOLLE vests also have plate carrier compartments and features. This makes it simple to use and switch MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and basic MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold real or replica ballistic level III3A plates or rifle plates. When going up against the possibility of actual incoming bullets, special operations teams in the military and law enforcement SWAT teams will frequently use these kinds of tactical plate carriers for added bullet resistance. Airsoft participants choose these plate carrier vests for an added coolness component and can even run real or imitation ballistic plates and panels to imitate a functional loadout or war loadout. IDEA: Do not use realistic rifle ballistic plates in your airsoft plate carrier vest unless you desire a exercise! These rifle plates can weigh over +20 pounds!
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
Tactical modular chest rig vests usually only have front and back panels that can hold IIIA plates. They resemble plate carrier vests and similarly have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are different from MOLLE vests considering that they are more low-profile and can be worn over or under other clothing like coats, uniforms, vests, and bulky apparel reasonably easily. The side straps on modular chest rigs also readjust more than standard plate carrier vests. Slicks are merely modular chest rig vests however without the MOLLE accessories which makes them slick or smooth. These sort of airsoft vests are less useful for carrying gear given that they do not have pouches. They are often employed for props as civilian role participants or uniform builds for a particular period imitating a significant military unit that used them like the Navy Seals.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall into this vest category. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They come in handy to use and can be put on easily in the course of a gun fight hence the name. They generally have capacities for 6 M4 magazines in the front (or equivalently 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 pair of shoulder straps and the back of the vest is open. This kind of airsoft vest can also be worn over top of other kinds of equipment and vests.
Tactical Load-Bearing Vests (LBVs)
Tactical load-bearing vests are a few of the most classic vests to use for airsoft. These airsoft tactical vests include 6 integrated M4 mag pouches with 2 grenade pouches. The vest straps for the sides and shoulders adapt to big and little-sized airsoft players which make this vest really versatile.
