Gentlemen, I present to you my latest airsoft related purchase.
The G&P FSBE - Full Spectrum Battle Equipment
Just received this superb little vest from WGC a few hours ago and already I've grown quite fond of it. So much in fact that I'm wearing it now while I type this post.
First impressions:
This vest is extremely well made! After dealing with several Guarder products I didn't think this G&P item could match Guarder's replica gear in terms of quality/stitching. To be honest I was expecting something slightly better quality than Milforce brand items but once I ripped open the packaging and examined the vest I was VERY impressed.
This vest screams quality. Everything just looks the part right down to the quick release system.

^ Rear view
^ Made with Cordura / Quality stitching
^ Show with Tactical Tailor M4 magazine pouches.
From L to R: 3x M4, 2x M4, 2x M4, 3x M4
I have some Paraclete pouches in the mail now and I'll post a more pictures of the vest once the come in.
(Paraclete Quad pistol mag pouch, Flashbang pouch, 2x M4 magazine pouches. Paraclete Hydration pouch to follow shortly after.)
That's about it for now. The only real complaint I have with the vest is that it's a bit too large for me. The vest comes in three sizes and I decided to go with the XL model when I should have gone with a L. It's not that big of a deal, I'd just prefer a slightly tighter fit.
Enjoy.
