Marmot Tactical Vest Durable Mesh Vest with Detachable Belt & Holster for Subcompact/Compact/Standard Pistol

Great, good fit. Just what I wanted. Bought for husband he loves it

As described.. thank you

I am big on checking the entire spectrum of reviews and tend to pay particular attention to the negative reviews for a product before I actually pull the trigger. That being said, despite all of the negative reviews and the relevant causes for concern I decides to make the purchase and see for myself. So, in this spirit, allow me to address all of the negative reviews you will encounter here in your research. Fit: a lot of reviews will complain that it is not actually sized as described. None of those reviews supported their claims with photos, which lead me to doubt their validity. As a 6'1" middle aged man, pushing 300lbs with a dad body and whiskey barrel chest and belly and a size 38 waist, out of the package this does NOT fit. Guess what though, with six long and adjustable tri-glide fastened straps and adjustable belt (that's is also detachable) with a few moments spent making the necessary adjustments, I was able to improve the fir of the vest to near perfection.Velcro attached pistol holster is not secure, noisy and a poor fit for most sidearms. Well, the holster was able to accommodate my M&P 2.0 with 4" barrel, considered to be compact, and remained attached tightly and made zero Velcro noise while removing and replacing swiftly and forcefully and tugging on the pouch itself while the weapon was holstered to simulate potential snagging or bruahing. No movement and no noise- it is possible that the fabrication has been improved since these reviewsNot actual Marmot brand: this may be accurate. The attached retail tag featured the Marmot logo on mine, but I could not help but feel like it could likely be a replica, seemed outdated and a little blurry. Another common complaint: not professional grade tactical vest: it's a $40 product, you can't be serious with your expectations- you will be getting what you are paying for. However, this is an exceptional quality product with my sole agreement being in th quality of th zipper. It is janky and you can just tell it will inevitably ruin itself, which is why I was prepared prior to purchasing the item to replace the zipper with a component of better quality the moment it fails. Above all, I agree this is an entry level tactical vest and won't be my final venture into chest rigs, plate carriers and the like, but I really believe if you enter this transaction with realistic expectations, it will be really difficult to find a lot to disappoint with.

I will give you 5 Stars only

AMAZING, my grandson has had for two years and its never had a problem and its still in good condition

It's all right for airsoft or something similar. Even so, keep a close eye on your pistol as the holster is complete garbage and is only held on with a couple of really weak snaps. Any upward pulling on the holster and it comes right off which means you go to try to draw your pistol and it either falls off of the vest or the holster comes with it.

It is very lightweight and holds just about anything I can put on it.The extra pistol holster is a good back up.

This is a great tactical vest for what you pay. Excellent construction, highly adjustable with lots of pockets and pouches, 2 of which are removable, as is the holster and belt. The belt is seriously heavy duty and adjusted to my 34" waist without issue and could go several more inches with ease. I saw some negative reviews about the holster mounting and size of the shotgun shell holder. I had no issues with either. The holster came mounted in the right hand draw position and was easy to adjust and remove. I like that it can be removed and used with a belt mount or drop leg rig allowing for the addition of another pouch or 2 in case I need to carry extra gear. I had no issues fitting 12 gauge shotgun shells in the removable shell holder either. They're tight, but they're supposed to be. There are 3 pockets for armor plates as well, in the event that you want to add them. This vest is an awesome value for the price. I'll be ordering another one just to have on hand. If you're looking in this price range then this is the one to buy.
