I suggest getting coyote brown or any tan as it goes with everything. A CIRAS is great but limits mobility. A crossdraw or tac vest is as stated above not customizable. I just got my first vest a FLYYE CIRAS which costs reasonably cheap and is good quality for what you pay. They can be had for about $200-240 with a full set of pouches. There is a land and maritime version of the CIRAS the land connects in the front and has more space for pouches and is a little more cumbersome than the maritime. The maritime connects on the side.

I do oppose black 100% (again, unless you're doing a specific impression that requires black). But alas, it's early and I'm late for work. I'll give you a full run down of why later tonight. I've posted on here dozens of times. Just look for "what vest" threads that I've posted in and you're bound to find my anti-black rant pretty quickly.

That's your personal opinion. Honestly, I'm always a fan of being on the green side of games when wearing my MARPAT. I role with an OD MBSS. I just like OD and I think it's nice with blending in most wooded areas. There is a lot of debate on which color best blends, but go with what you think looks good.

Great thanks for all the help guys ;D one last question: would you recommend a plate carrier or a vest? I'm not sure the difference between them, but I'm sure they each have their ups and downs.

Just so we're clear, what is it you like about that vest? It looks pretty shitty to me.

Knock off of the popular Diamondback Tactical FAPC it seems. Meh design in my opinion. Its seven columns wide which is just stupid. Lots of people like the vest however, so its really up to you.

If you're going to buy a knockoff FAPC, save up a bit more and get the Flyye version. You'll be glad you did as Flyye makes top notch gear.

If it seems stupid, what would you recommend? I don't want anything that will weight me down too much. I like the lightweight design and unique look. Where should I buy FLYYE?I have googled it, and it came up with a bunch of websites I have never heard of.

ShooterCB Gear is good, Ehobbyasia has Flyye now, so does RSOV. There's a few other places too if you look hard, but I'm not too up on the rest of them. I'd suggest one of the above 3 places.

If you want a small vest like that, get an MBSS from PANTAC or Flyye.
