Oh great gear lovers of MIA, I come to you with a question that someone out there will hopefully be able to answer. Since, I'm relatively new to the newer Airsoft/military gear I'm looking for a CIRAS type vest that would fit and not be a fortune, replicas are fine and preferred. I say CIRAS because I plan on getting a full add-on kit for it (deltoids, collar, groin, etc). The reason I ask is I'm currently rocking this www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_165&products_id=31625 but it seems to be too short for me. I've been eyeing www.ebairsoft.com/quick-release-pouches-p-2684.html I've heard Flyye and Pantac are good makers also. I'm 6' 240lbs, with a 40 waist and 46 inch chest, so I'm big/fat. Hopefully there are a few bigger guys out there that could point me in a direction of vest that would fit me better without spending a small fortune on my toys. -Noobgunner |

I don't know why but those pictures just make it look like crap.
However next event I'll have to check the authenticity of some people's statements that are rocking ebaybanned gear. Because it's not just Thor I've heard people say is good gear.

If you want the deltoids/collar/groin protectors, you want an IOTV or something of the sort. Not a CIRAS. Personally, I think people who have those protectors look a bit ridiculous, but that's just me. I'd personally go for a Phantom CIRAS. I have one, and I love it. It's also very adjustable.

Here's a link to the add-on kit I was looking at www.skdtac.com/All_Plate_Carriers_s/2348.htm Their Eagle Industries add-ons for a CIRAS, thats all I was concerned about, that it would fit the vest. I know it's shunned but I have always loved how Rios from Army of Two looked, and the flexibility of going from a simple vest to a cqbr full protection set up with out another rig is what I am shooting for. But my concerns were I'd hate to spend $100+ dollars on something that wouldn't fit. I learned that lesson with the vest I have now  |

Don't bother with Deltoid protectors. They're absolutely ridiculous. And just fucks up any chance you had of using your rifle effectively.

Also, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Eagle may be the only one that actually has the buckles for the groin protector. I wouldn't mind the ballistic collar though. Just wish they had it in stock in CB.

While you are in the process of that I can also make a comparison of my Pantac CB and Ebaybanned CB, as I'm curious about that too. |

Honestly, best plate carrier/vest I go with is FSBE. I wear it whenever possible and try to never go for the Intercepter. Also, definately lose the deltoid protector and neck and groin, just keep it basic. As far as fit goes, you want the bottom to just meet your belt line, any less and it's too small, any more and it's too big.

Love my Pantac to pieces, but my TMC from EB is also pretty badass.

I actually picked up a land type CIRASS that Knief had. WOW, I love it so much more than my old loadout and it fits so thats even better. I do still plan on decking it out though, when my taxes come back.

What is Pantac's nylon like?
I've tracked down a Multicam Maritime CIRAS at WGC, but it's nylon.
Edit: I just realized this is already a couple of days old. Apologies.

Pantac uses 1000D Cordura, which is a type of nylon. It is very durable, just make sure it is real multicam.
