About Tactical Vests
The Rothco Kids Uncle Milty Travel Vest by Rothco works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are common for holding equipment on the airsoft field. These carriers and vests make it simple for participants to maintain control of their equipment and quickly run around the battlefield while having all the things they need to win more missions. They also have a tacticool operator status look to them and protect game player’s bodies from incoming airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests generally have lots of pockets, pouches, and MOLLE accessory panels. This is a fine line to walk since it is a mix of packing what you require in the field but not exorbitant amounts of gear. Prevent yourself from carrying so much gear that it weighs you down or hinders you from moving easily across the airsoft field. Some commonly chosen items in a basic airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Spare airsoft gun mags, sidearms like handguns or shotguns, additional airsoft BBs, red rags, powerbars, water for hydration , radios, gun cleaning sets, and multitools.
Rothco Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the Rothco Kids Uncle Milty Travel Vest supply a few layers of additional protection to assist in cushioning the force of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests include 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 inbound airsoft BBs.
One obstacle encountered by donning thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of gear connected to them is that players can not feel their hits effectively. In these cases, participants need to listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or gear is struck by inbound airsoft BBs. Team players need to follow the airsoft field or tournament guidelines.
Kinds of Rothco Airsoft Vests
There are a few distinct types of vests and load-bearing equipment worn in airsoft. As a classification, an airsoft vest is a general term used to identify anything team players tactically wear 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 Rothco Rothco Kids Uncle Milty Travel Vest 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 standard kinds of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of package and are some of the more affordable vests offered while still maintaining good quality and resilience. Lots of brands produce 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. Pre-made tactical airsoft vests are a good choice if you are playing airsoft on a spending plan.
These vests are immediately functional and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. The magazine pouches are specific to the vest designs and usually come in M4 or AK47 styles. With pre-made vests, game players can frequently 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 glow sticks or a shotgun scabbard.
Sturdiness of Pre-Made Vests
Because these airsoft vests are factory constructed, they are very well made with durable stitching and will usually last for a long period of time. We’ve seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors begin to fade, however they still serve their gear bearing function. Many airsoft team players start out with a version of these vests, sell it later on, and upgrade to a more custom vest system.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Make sure the vest you are purchasing will work for holding your specific 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 advanced and customizable airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest style. These modular vests enable each pouch to be relocated and positioned separately based on the desired setup airsoft game players and tactical operators require. The MOLLE webbing employs a hook and loop strap system which permits gun magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, communications pouches, and weapon holsters to be installed anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are found. The resulting numerous different combinations, positions, and orientations empower tactical operators to decide on the tailored MOLLE pouch set up for the specific role they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The personalized appearance and feel of MOLLE airsoft vests are excellent. The tactical vest platform and pouches are usually offered individually or in kits which makes them more expensive than pre-made airsoft vests.
Airsoft Versus Real World MOLLE Equipment
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 selling prices of the real gear used by militaries, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops teams.
How MOLLE Attachments Work
The MOLLE system is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. This tactical equipment system explains pouches, panels, and straps which use MOLLE attachments. 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 used to secure pouches to the best with straps. The MOLLE straps are usually made from nylon with a snap and are threaded through the MOLLE panel loops and the similarly styled loops on pouches. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which allows straps to be solidly connected to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The whole MOLLE system comes together as operators pick the pouches they need for an airsoft vest loadout or objective, 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 an incredibly personalized airsoft vest with the look and feel of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble standard MOLLE vests and many of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and capabilities. This makes it easy to switch and employ MOLLE pouches in between vest plate carriers and standard MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold real or replica ballistic level III3A plates or rifle plates. Airsoft participants employ these plate carrier vests for an included coolness aspect and can even run genuine or replica ballistic plates and panels to mimic an operational loadout or battle rattle loadout.
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
They look like plate carrier vests and likewise have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are different from MOLLE vests since they are more low-profile and can be employed over or under other clothes like jackets, uniforms, vests, and large clothing fairly quickly. These kinds of airsoft vests are less helpful for holding gear considering that they do not have pouches.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall under this vest category. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They are handy to employ and can be worn quickly in the course of a gun fight hence the namesake. They usually 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 even be worn over top of other kinds of gear and vests.
Tactical Load-Bearing Vests (LBVs)
Tactical load-bearing vests are a few of the most standard vests to employ for airsoft. These vest styles were employed throughout conflicts like Vietnam and Desert Storm. They hold a place in military history and now are adopted on tons of airsoft fields. These airsoft tactical vests include 6 integrated M4 mag pouches with 2 grenade pouches. They have loops to attach a U.S. G.I. web belt where airsoft team players can feature more pouches and ammo dump bags if needed. The back of the vest has connections for a buttpack. The vest straps for the shoulders and sides adjust to bigger and small-sized airsoft team players that make this vest truly versatile.
