I was looking into buying a vest from AirsoftAtlanta and i seen they have two vest that appeal to me. www.airsoftatlanta.com/tactical.htmOne is the Warhead Crossdraw Vest - OD($49.99) It comes with a webbelt and is basically similar to the other one i was looking at: Tac Force USA (Teflon® coated) GREEN URBAN CROSSDRAW ($59.99) darker color and does not come with webbelt, more expensive. I was wondering if one was of a higher quality than the other, making the Tac Force even though more expensive and not including webbelt, the better buy. Things I think would be better for quality is good stiching, good material, strong sturdy zipper. Can the more experianced in brands please help me out here? I'm about as sharp as a baseball. That's why I used stupid text speak. |

1) I have never heard of warhead before
2) i myself have considered getting some tac force gear, and i hear it is quite good
3) right on the site it says that the warhead get is the economy brand and tac force is higher end... could be false advertising or seller BS but i highly doubt it with this one

Tac Force and Warhead fall upon the "economy" side of the vest spectrum, at my estimation at least.
If you were to purchase either of those vests, you "should" just sink the extra money and buy the Blackhawk. Though some will disagree with Blackhawk for some reason or another (I do on some vests) for the money, the durability, and the warranty, it makes more economic sense.

I have a Tac-Force MP5 magazine pouch, and that thing is sweet. Very strong and tough and I don't think I could find anything better for the cheap price I payed.

For the money, blackhawk vests are one of the better investments for airsoft, I don't have any complaints against the quality of the blackhawk vest I use, and it's held up very nicely so far, but like Motown said, some people have issues with blackhawk for one reason or another, usually political.
You can buy two or three old junkers for the price of a mercedes, but are the junkers the better investment?
Just remember that you get what you pay for

just remember that the junker can get you where you need to go. I have a tacforce mp5 vest, and i like it. it does not compare to my blackhawk vest in terms of features or quality, it was definitely worth the money. It's very functional, reasonably durable, and my only real issue with it is that the zipper pull clanks when i run. I occasionally wear replica body armor, and it adjusts nicely.
Overall, i give it a B
EDIT: by the way, that's the vest i'm wearing in my avatar.

sweet that was the info i was looking for, i'll proly get the tac force.
I'd rather buy two cars, than a mercedes, and have money left over to buy other stuff i need. It all comes down to what i need and what i can afford.
I'm about as sharp as a baseball. That's why I used stupid text speak. for the feedback again it has been very helpful in my decision.
