One difficulty faced by using thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of gear affixed to them is that players can not feel their hits well. In these cases, team players need to listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or equipment is struck by inbound airsoft BBs. Team players should follow the airsoft field or game guidelines.
Kinds of OneTigris Airsoft Vests
There are several distinct types of vests and load-bearing equipment worn in airsoft. As a classification, an airsoft vest is a basic term used to define anything participants tactically use 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 OneTigris OneTigris Multicam Airsoft Vest & Low Profile Tactical Vest falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are 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 less expensive vests readily available while still maintaining great quality and toughness.
These vests are instantly usable and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. The magazine pouches are specialised to the vest designs and typically are available in M4 or AK47 styles. With pre-made vests, team players can frequently connect 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.
Durability of Pre-Made Vests
Given that these airsoft vests are factory constructed, they are very well made with durable stitching and will typically last for a long period of time. We’ve seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors begin to fade, but they still serve their equipment bearing purpose. Many airsoft team players start out with one of these vests, sell it in the future, and upgrade to a more custom-made vest solution.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Try to find the best type of pre-made vest you want. Some have integrated magazine pouches for AR-15/ M4 magazines while others have AK-47 magazine sizing. Make sure the vest you are buying will work for holding your particular airsoft weapon type magazines. Various styles of pre-made airsoft vests are also readily 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 handgun holster combos 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 many admin pouches. Grenadier vests with lots of grenade pockets for M203 shells.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more sophisticated and personalized airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest style. These modular vests enable each pouch to be moved and placed independently based on the specific set up airsoft players and tactical operators require.
The customized style and feel of MOLLE airsoft vests are excellent. Nevertheless, the tactical vest platform and pouches are usually sold individually or in packages that makes them more expensive than pre-made airsoft vests. A standard MOLLE vest can be costly with the pouches costs increasing the expense. A totally filled MOLLE tactical loadout can cost hundreds of dollars depending on how many pouches and different kinds of MOLLE pouches are bought. If you have chosen to go the MOLLE vest route, see if you can select MOLLE pouch sets to get your loadout set up.
Airsoft Versus Military MOLLE Equipment
When looking for MOLLE vests, bear in mind airsoft businesses make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off pouches and vests run a fraction of the selling prices of the real gear employed by militaries, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops units.
How MOLLE Attachments Work
The MOLLE system is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. This tactical equipment system describes pouches, panels, and straps which employ MOLLE mounts. The tri-factor parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are assembled to create the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base seen on airsoft vests. They feature a series of loops that are employed to hold pouches to the best with straps. The MOLLE straps are generally made from nylon with a snap and are threaded through the MOLLE panel loops and the similarly designed loops on pouches. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which makes it possible for the straps to be nicely hooked through to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The entire MOLLE system comes together as operators choose 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 outcome is a super personalized airsoft vest with the look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble basic MOLLE vests and lots of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and elements. This makes it easy to change and employ MOLLE pouches in between vest plate carriers and standard MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold actual or reproduction ballistic level III3A plates or ceramic plates. Airsoft game players use these plate carrier vests for an increased coolness component and can even run legitimate or replica ballistic plates and panels to imitate a practical loadout or go-to-war kit.
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
Tactical modular chest rig vests usually only have front and back panels that can hold IIIA plates. They look like plate carrier vests and similarly have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are different from MOLLE vests because they are more low-profile and can be employed over or under other clothes like coats, uniforms, vests, and bulky clothing reasonably quickly. The side straps on modular chest rigs also adjust more than standard plate carrier vests. Slicks are basically modular chest rig vests however without the MOLLE accessories which makes them slick or smooth. These sort of airsoft vests are less beneficial for carrying gear given that they do not have pouches. They are frequently chosen for props as civilian role game players or uniform builds for a specific age modeled after a famous military unit that employed them like the Navy Seals.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall into this classification. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. This type of airsoft vest can even be used over top of other types of equipment and vests.
