• Tactical Gear Recommendations.
    24 replies, posted
I want to get some tactical gear but I don't know where to start. I know that I want a modular chest rig or vest to hold magazines for my P90. If anybody has any recommendations, advice, or input feel free to post. I want something modular in either Black, OD, Marpat, or just general woodland colors except Multicam. I was looking at this vest based on promising reviews. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_96&products_id=1104[/url] Any and all help is appreciated.
That should be alright. In my expiriance, OE tech gear lasts about 2 years before it starts ripping and such. Do you need a vest necessarily? Its advisable to try and avoid OE tech zippers, the middle one on my friends vest simply fell off.

What I want needs to be able to hold about 4 P90 mag pouches. Also is PANTAC gear reliable? Condor, Pantac, and Tactical Tailor are the only three companies I found that make P90 mag pouches. Condor pouches seem like shit based on reviews and Tactical Tailor is $30 for a double while PANTACs are $18 for a double.
Pantac is best out of all.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;18734055]Pantac is best out of all.[/QUOTE] Pantac is pretty much the best AIRSOFT brand. Military companies like Tactical Tailor and Eagle will kick the shit out of Pantac though. All of my TT pouches have outlasted the vests they have been mounted on.
I've been scanning the massive amount of gear on [url]www.wgcshop.com[/url] and have found a few items. How does this look to you?

Second one Much more viable in my opinion.
I highly suggest the RRV, I used an Eagle one and it's incredibly comfortable.
I might as well ask this, is Multicam effective?
[QUOTE=debmaster;18739404]I might as well ask this, is Multicam effective?[/QUOTE] All camo's are situational. Would it be effective for where you are playing?
[QUOTE=DarkSamus;18739799]All camo's are situational. Would it be effective for where you are playing?[/QUOTE] I've never played before, that's why I'm getting gear. I guess I'll stick with OD, though it would be better if my BDU matched my vest rather than being OD and Woodland.
In my experience OD or CB/tan are the most versatile gear colors. One or the other will work on just about any camo, even CB can work well with woodland camo. Vest and pouches in camo only works for one set of BDU's, so if you ever get another color BDU you're screwed. I went that route with Multicam, bad decision. Multicam is normally twice the price of similar OD or CB gear and it only really works with Multicam. Later on I switched over to all CB and it works great with everything I have.
I got woodland and it's not that awesome, but it's neither that bad.
A newer color that some companies are using is Ranger Green(RG) and I'd suggest that along with CB.

I think I've decided on this: [url]http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=26184[/url] - Looks good. - No internal pouches for magazines I don't use. - The Ranger Green color looks better than OD in my opinion. It will probably work better also. - Pantac has RG P90 pouches to match it. - Won't break the bank. - There's no back to it but something tells me I won't need a hydration carrier yet. If I feel the need for one, I can buy the RRV backpanel for it.

How long will it take RedWolf to ship to the United States, or do they have a shipping center in the US?
What part of US? West Coast - Week? Week and a half? Once its shipped from them East Coast - 2-3 Weeks even a month sometimes.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;18758528]What part of US? West Coast - Week? Week and a half? Once its shipped from them East Coast - 2-3 Weeks even a month sometimes.[/QUOTE] Fuck. Does anybody know of a US PANTAC retailer? I'll keep searching but if you know of one please post.
