Smersh AK by SPOSN/SSO | Russian Assault Vest

This SMERSH vest or load carrier is of fantastic quality. Far exceeded my expectations. Genuine product, not a knock off. Would certainly recommend over a chest rig if much hiking or traversing is on the menu. Enough adjustment to fit over professional armor. I would give it 6 stars if possible.

Perfect product! fully thought out, fully camo, even double sided webbing, lightweight, strong.. perfect

Keep in mind that this will require assembly. That seems to be the norm with all Smersh vests. And there are two ways of setting up the day pack on the back or the butt. When wearing it as a butt pack, there is very limited room/tight fit to mount canteens/flasks. This does not include pouches for canteens/flasks.Also, keep in mind that despite this being listed on Amazon, this will be shipped from Russia. Don't expect to get it within a week if you're in USA.You don't seem to be able to get a black Smersh from anywhere else, and this was brand new, so I'm happy. I specifically needed a black one for a Cobra Trooper impression.Unrelated to the product or the seller, my order got returned to Russia. But the seller worked with me and re-sent it back to me. That was due to my local post office, not due to the seller or the product. But my vest got to fly from Russia to America and then back to Russia, and then back to America. Essentially, my vest has traveled around the world! My teammate purchased this same vest from the same seller, and he got his without any issues.It only lost a star for having to assemble it myself, which was annoying with no instructions included. There are sources online to help assemble it. The other reason that it didn't make the 5 star rating, is because the impression I'm assembling requires two US style canteens/flasks by the butt pack, and I was able to mount them, but very tightly. If I could have gotten it fully assembled with the extra pouches for flasks/canteens, then it would have been a five-star rating.

Great LBD, definitely look up a guide on how to properly configure it however the build quality is top notch and to me it rounds out my AK setup. I had one stitching issue that I easily fixed and shipping took awhile as expected with import, but this is the real deal Ivan.

Very good quality, excellent offering compared to the availability of third party Molle offerings in the USA. The delivery is direct from Russia via DHL and prompt. Pay the extra delivery fee, it is worth it. The vendor is honorable and follows through exactly as represented.

The Rig feels like it is very durable, and it arrived in a very nicely packed manner. Did not expect the packaging to be so efficient. Well worth the price, I am quite happy
