Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted January 15, 2011 Supporters Posted January 15, 2011 We (me and the lep.) are looking for some lightweight MOLLE vests. we don't want plate carriers as they are far too heavy for our needs. we want a full vest type thing with molle everywhere and a zip up the front. if it can be, as small as possible as we are both scrawny lil' fecks. any help/tips/pointing in the right direction are appreciated cheers
JerseyRider Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Depends on ya budget mate.... UKtactical has some craking vests but your looking £100+ if you dont have that kinda money then try Bulle or Viper but Molle vests are only as heavy as the stuff you put in them I have a plate carrier and it ant heavy (empty) at all.... but it is awkard when it comes to takeing it off
Hubert Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ustmb9nx.html Lots of MOLLE real-estate? Yes Light-weight? Yes Cheap? Yes Small for lil' fekkers like you and Joe? ( ) Yes Not a plate-carrier? Yes Zip on the front... No. Not unless you want to spend (at minimum) £170, and end up with a plate carrier. Or, you could go for the one I have (same site, £10 more) (less internal mag space, but more space for bolt-on MOLLE)
Hubert Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ustmb3nx.html Internal real-estate is enough for 5 M4/16 STANGs, or 3-4 SA80 STANAGs. I have 2 double-STANAG pouches attached (2X 2 pouches on each set, each capable of holding 2 mags per pouch - so basically 8 mags), 1 single double mag pouch and 1 folding dump-pouch. Need to get a belt-thingy.

Hubert Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Try now (both the orrigional and http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ustmb9nx.html ) Also - not as much space, but it's much lighter - http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ustmb4nx.html
Aron Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 5.11 LBE VTAC vest's are good and they come in tan/black/od. I own one and they are great and lightweight and breathable due to the mesh like material on the inner side.
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted January 15, 2011 Author Supporters Posted January 15, 2011 That is perfect aron right on the top limit if my budget, like, but beggars can't be choosers
Portnoy Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Well, the ones I know that are both light and with a lot of real-estate are the Weesatch/Wastach, this plate carrier and a vest that is pratically MOLLE everywhere with a zipper from bottom to top. Personally, I use a Wasatch because it can turn into a chest rig, and has a significant amount of magazine storage. 12 M4 mags fit perfectly fine, and since I'm a low-cap user, it's great. Hope it helps
Mitchell Gee Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 if you havnt already bought... have a look at this http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/TMC-LE-M4-C...OD_AUPMA.aspx?0 hope this helps... and it has a zip on the front... well velcro... but like you said beggers cant be choosers
