Hey everyone, I have read many of your posts on tac vest but it seems many for for the small or regular crowd. I am 6'4" with a barrell chest and want a tac vest, any suggestions?? I know I can go with alice web gear but would prefer a vest if possible. Sorry if this has been done before, I just couldn't find it. (BTW price between $75-$150ish)
Thanks

I'm 6'2" or so, not thin, and there's lots of slack in my Tactical Tailor modular vest. Unless you wear a size 56 or so there'd be plenty of room. In a pinch you could always contact TT. They're very friendly and I'm sure that if necessary they could sew in some longer adjustment straps.

Most people tout the benefits of modular web gear. I agree that moduarity has its place...but i personally love the effect and appearance of designated gear... I'm not a small guy (6'5", 285lbs) and this thing fits me with room to spare. I use the M5 vest by a small company called FMCO. www.antipersonnel.net/fmco/index.htmlI use the M5 made for HK91 magazines. This benefits me as I only use one weapon for airsofting....but for someone who has multiple weapons systems, i would opt in the direction of a modular vest. I think my vest ran me about $150 three years ago. |

I've got a black 2x vest gathering dust in my closet since I dropped some weight- fits a 50" waist snug, and the nylon isn't borken in yet
holds around 8 m16 mags with both velcro and clips. also has gas grenade pouches at 4 and 8 o'clock, a few more at the front (low and high), and a larger center back puch that you could use for dumping.
made by Arm forces. I can take pics if you're interested in it.

I'm kinda 'husky' for my age, so i need to be looking into the, larger vests and such and RustPot has what I'm looking for (I'm not that....uh, large) but it'll serve its purpose .

Isn't America great, everyones fat now days. I'm 6'6" 3xx pounds. i bought a extra large Tac Force vest from 21st Century back in the day before I worked for Empire Airsoft. Didn't exactly fit me you might say.
Anyway I went to Young's and bought some OD green strapping and extended the straps for about $2 dollars, perfect fit now.
You know, that gave me an idea. We should offer to alterations to some of the vests we sell for larger people. I've been noticing a lot of larger people getting into airsoft as a good way to get exercises and loose some weight. Hrmm good idea...
