You can read what is included on the Description part of the item. Now lets get to the review of this item.

Background:
I'm with a team and we play fairly often. They play at least once a week. I usually only get to make it out at least once a month, maybe twice if I'm lucky. I'm very very careful with all my stuff, thats just me. I make sure everything fits fine and functions perfectly. The CIRAS itself is pretty nice. The CB color is pretty dark and almost OD green to me. It seems like a mixture of OD green and Tan.

The CIRAS cord does exactly what its meant to do. You can take off this vest in seconds. I wouldnt recommend trying it as its a PIA to put it back. Its not THE BEST CIRAS but its an affordable one. Since it has all the pouches you might need, theres no need to hunt for some down. But it might not have the ones you need.

I have worn this about 3 times to field test it. The durability of the seams are NOT good at all. After the 3rd game, I decided to take off the vest and somehow ended up ripping the right side of the vest. The part that rip is right under the Utility pouch (seen in picture) because you have to lift it up and then wrap the velcro back forward to put on the CIRAS. I'm NOT that strong, the velcro does a very good job of hugging it down and in, which is night but dam its stronger then the seams?

This CIRAS fits me just fine, you can adjust this to fit a varies of sizes. I'm about 5'6" 155lbs and its a snug fit. I also got a Condor Hydro pack which fits nicely in the back. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Since I got this on sale AND extra 20% off. Does it job but you have to be really careful putting it on and taking it off or at least have your mum or GF put on extra threads where its needed. (both right and left side of the vest where you take off).

I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Would recommend this since its pretty cheap and does its job well.

Pros:
+ Includes Pouches
+ Fits varies of sizes
+ Price vs other Ciras style vest
+ Also includes foam inserts for the front and back of vest. (if you lay it down it will stand up instead of flop down like others w/o the foam inserts)

Cons:
- Seams are NOT great, they come undone/rip with some force.
- Color are slightly off but thats my opinion.
- Fabric is really stiff
- Pistol mags are small (barely fit KWA HK45 mags)

Rating: 4 of 5 Stars! [4 of 5 Stars!]
