Mine came today as did my barrel. They're a really nice fit and I like the Velcro double strap on the wrists. I think fingernail shots will still ping though.

I'm confused.
You quote me and in the quote, it says I put XL.
So I'm not sure what your point is?

I found something I thought was a good deal and put it on here in case anyone was interested.
I'm very sorry. I was just trying to be helpful.

I appreciate that, as I wasn't sure! 
I'm in a great deal of pain and highly medicated, so my internet interaction interface isn't what it was!  :lol:

No worries mate, how are you healing?

No worries mate, how are you healing?

It's only been a few days and tbh, it's no fun!
Can't sleep due to the pain, which is making me grumpier.
And no pewpew!!
But I live in hope - I've booked a couple of games for early May, which I am really looking forward to.

excellent eyepro for a bargain price. Ditch your Nuprol garbage and buy some specs with a safety rating! 

I prefer lenses that don't have gaps between them and the frames!  :lol:

Looks just like my unbranded vest from China, I paid just under £16.

Thanks, I wasn't sure because I seem to be seeing average looking vests go for +/- £30-40 and it's hard to discern online the quality of the product. Any tips on what I should be looking for in terms of quality? It seems there can be a bit of a false economy for newbs like me 

I used one of those when I started. It got the job done. Not really a baragin though. That's it's RRP. 

I'm planning on buying some used equipment from my local surplus shop so I'm hoping to have some real bargains soon

Build quality isn't that great, but it's not bad either, stitching seems fine. 

I needed to tape up the ends of the cables as they had sharp wire on the ends.  But it's certainly a bargain at £16, so much so that I will probably get other colours if I decide to get other loadouts.  Will be trying out for the first time in 3 weeks.

Probably find it was made in the same factory as the Miltec one.

It's a bit snug on me, but I could do with losing a couple stone.

Main downside for me wass waiting 3 weeks for delivery.

Cheers

Quality seems okay on those gloves I bought the other week. Had a chance to play in them and they were comfortable enough.

 Double stitching is a good sign, but as they're knockoffs I won't be surprised if they don't last. 

Even for a tenner they're not bad. If the offer is still up I'd say buy a pair

Deal or No Deal?

Bag of crap mate , as the G man said you’ll get the same thing from fleabay for under a tenner .

plus as there made from PU nylon not cordura the MC on those looks bloody horrible ! colours are way too bright and they look as good as the price ! :blink:

If your getting that price range of tac vest (as most of us did when we first started out ) I’d recommend getting a single colour one khaki/OD/Black/OG/etc NOT a camouflaged pattern , they look a lot better and if it does look a bit ‘shiny’ you can always give it a dusting with an appropriately coloured spray paint .
