I have used these vests in operational situations as a police officer in SA and for hiking and adventure biking trips, this item is virtually indestructible. If you can get one, you will not be disappointed.
However, don't let sales people tell you the AK mags fit, this vest was specifically designed for the Galil/R4 and 5 rifle 30rd magazines 5.56/223

So far I'm very happy with the battle jacket, its a nice alternative to a day pack for hiking and hold all my stuff. The grootsak is a big bag like the name says and came in good condition, a few small repairs but nothing major, just trying it on it feels like it fits well, but more testing required. The item quality of booth matched what was laid out in the grading, but are fully functional in all cases, happy with them so far and I like the color.
No joke lads, this is worth it. I haven’t had to sew or repair anything, just load it and go. Doing a wee bit back woods patrolling to establish zones? Go with it. I prefer it for the hot arid zones but I have seen others wear it in more foliage dense zones and thrive in it.
