Beefy Vests

[CarloBear]

New and really enjoying Airsoft.

I'm looking to buy a combat vest but i'm a little bit beefy i'm scared to buy anything for now as it might look like a combat bib instead.

Wondering if you guys got any suggestions for a person with a bit of a beer belly?

Cheers guys!

Any carrier designed to take large Sapi plates should work. Depends how much you want to spend, do you want clone or real deal?

Just starting out so i'll probably go easy for now with a clone, do you have any suggestions?

Pantac make a CIRAS in X-Large so it wont look like a bib if your a big guy. Its Pricey buts its of better quality than most clone/chinease gear.

A cheaper option but maintaining good quality is the Flyye PC. Its a copy of the real deal Eagle Industries MBAV.

So you mean a plate carrier right or more of a tactical vest / chest rig? I would've said something like the RICAS / CIRAS or Flyye OTV. The latter is around £60 from Military1st (I think)

i am a big guy, i use a British army osprey vest i got off ebay £40, just make sure that the first part of the size is a big number 190 or 200. Then get a set of British army cummerbunds (ebay £10)

assemble the cummerbunds on the side to fit you size, then add what ever pouches you need etc

Keep in mind that being already a big guy and wearing a plate carrier will very easily overheat you in minutes.
