Product Information:
I bought this vest about four years ago and I've used it airsofting and occasionally even paintballing. It is extremely comfortable as plate carriers go, I've worn the real steel Interceptor IBA and I can honestly say this is a better fit. (granted, there's also not the real steal kevlar and plates in this vest...) Regardless, I did have to put in replica plates (in my case 4 pieces of layered cardboard) as the vest is slightly floppy and the added rigidity of the plates makes it fit much better.
The vest has snaps & straps under the cummerbund that provide good retention along the sides, the cummerbund itself is secured on the front by velcro under the face of the vest and a form of elastic on the back to provide a good tight fight. the shoulder straps are slightly padded and adjustable. After almost four years of use, i must note that the elastic material has begun to lose its elasticity.
The MOLLE is a little tight, especially under the velcro, but once your pouches are in place they shouldn't be moving anyways.
The vest isn't as breathable as the description describes though. Granted, i sweat more than average, but when the vest comes off after a game, my uniform jacket and the vest interior are both soaked. But while wearing the vest I do not notice an increase in temperature or feel hotter because of the vest.
On the inside of the cummerbund is a small pouch that i found fits a kilo bag of BB's. It's not easily accessible with the vest on though. On that note, the map pouch on the front face of the vest is near impossible to access with the vest on. It may just be because of the load out i'm using though. I have mag pouches that cause the front of the pouch to become rigid.
Finally, the drag handle is very durable but it shouldn't really be needed in a skirmish.

Over all, the vest is an extremely good buy. It offers an above average amount of protection as plate carriers go, but in airsoft it's all aesthetic. There is a good amount of room for pouches, though certain pouches on the cummerbund may become difficult to reach depending on the type of pouch. After about four years of use, i have noticed no significant wear & tear to the stitching or fabric.

Pros:
Durable construction
Comfortable fit
Plenty of MOLLE
Adjustable fit
Looks legit

Cons:
MOLLE tight in some places
Map Pouch difficult to use
