| Story
I went to Jungletoy to get some bbs and I went and showed my mom what I wanted for my birthday. It was the Infinity Tactical Vest. It was only forty dollars and she bought it. I was supposed to get this vest for my 15th birthday. And I begged my mom to give it to me as an early birthday gift, she broke and I got it early.
There are pockets on the front and slots on the back to add more accessories.
Accessories
I opened it up and I found out that the vest smelt awkward at first, almost like a leather smell. I ignored it for while and found out that it was the material that made the sniper stock shoulder pad. The smell went away after a couple of games I played with it. The vest has six pouches made to hold six M16 sized magazines; the pieces of cloth stuck into the pouches are removable and stretch so they can fit a tank of green gas in the pocket.
The vest has shotgun shell holders for up to five shotgun shells.
There is also a radio pouch on the left shoulder that is small on the bottom and larger in the upper part of the pocket. The radio I used was too big for the pouch so I just stored the radio in the pouch under the shotgun shell holder.
The pouch I stored the radio in was under the radio pouch.
The vest has belt loops that are fully adjustable, this is very handy because it makes your vest and belt into a single piece so you can just leave your belt on and just grab your vest and head out on your way to your game.
There are Para-cords so you can adjust it to your size, but when I adjusted it to my size, there was too much left over and no where to put it, so I just wrapped it around itself and headed out to my game. I did not trip on them and they did just what they are supposed to do.
On the inside of the vest there are map pouches on both the left and right, very useful for operations. I store energy bars in there when I go out into a night op and munch on them while I recon enemy positions.
There are D-Rings on the shoulder, which I haven’t used yet, but I think will come in handy to some of you airsofters. The frontal zipper zips from the left and not the right and some of you are familiar with. It is metal and you do not need to struggle with it to get it zipped up.
In between the pockets and on the back is a mesh so that you do not overheat during a game. There is also a water pack pouch on the inside back of the vest. For extended ops this can be very useful.
The vest has 3 rows of attachment straps on the back I personally have never needed them, but if you are in groups your teammates can grab their needed supplies from your back.
You can see the mesh and the camel pack straw coming out of the vest.
Comfort
Wearing the vest is very comfortable, and there is plenty of room for extra movement. I did not feel so pack in tight when I wear it. If you pack it too tight to yourself, then there would be no room to get your map. The mesh makes playing in heated weather much cooler so comfort you more during the game.
The weight of the vest fully loaded is only about 5-6 pounds and is not much when you are in the heat of a firefight. The weight is well balanced out with a lot of things in the pockets, I put magazines in the where the magazines are supposed to go, and a pocketknife in the shotgun shell pouch. I put two batteries in the pouch across of the shotgun shell pouch/straps. And it seemed as if the weight balanced pretty well, not too heavy on one side, not too light on the other side.
Overall
This vest really great for the price, it is not an actual military vest, but was made in the direction for airsofting. It is not an actual military vest but still has potential to last for a while. There are many pockets to store what you need in the vest and the belt loop makes it great for extra storage on your belt, but the vest has already enough pockets to store items in. I have experienced only a little loss of storage, so that is why I use the belt for it. If you want a cheap starting tactical vest then this vest will fulfill your search.
