Tac ten paintball vest from Rap4
Purchased dec 08
Basic vest, mask harness, one point sling, water bladder, right hand large pistol cross draw holster, all in cad pat.
Price? Well, it wasn't cheap but then nothing in paintball really is. It arrived in a box nicely arranged with lots of little air bags as filler.
I purchased a large as i'm 6'2" tall and 270lbs. I probably could have got the regular sized one as i find it's longer than i like. but it does work well all the same.
The vest body is made from a nicely woven peice of heavy duty od mesh. The front pockest are located with velcro and dome fasteners, with the bottle caddy and back pod holders being attached with straps. Looks like it should take quite a bit of abuse.
After much trial and error i settled for the horizontal bottle at the bottem of the molle straps and my 4 pod holder above it. I can still easily access the pods and can also turn the bottle on and off without help from anyone else. This I like very much. Also, I find it makes the vest just feel better, go figure.
I have used the vest now every weekend for the last 4 weeks
With my style of play (quite upright and in your face) i do tend to get my share of hits so it was time to give it a good cleaning. I washed it last sunday as per washing instructions that are attached and it came out nice and clean.
All in all, the tac ten vest seems to be pretty good. it has easy access to all that i carry on it, and is comfortable. I think i'll keep it.
