5.11 - Tactical Series VTAC LBE Vest PDF Print E-mail
Written by Milpic   


try today to give a review on the 5.11 VTAC LBE Vest


mesh, plenty of molle, lightweight and easy to adjust for once size but for a very comfy prizetag ( mine was 79,99 $ in regular size FDE )

two possibilitys to close the vest, zipper, which do not move easy all the time whatever the advertisment says ;) & buckles, which are easy to use, strong & also adjustable in wide ( girth ?) as the vest itself of course too

adjustable at the shoulders & the waist ( shoulders from the outside & the wide from the inside of the vest, be carefull as the velco rips pretty heavy on polyester shirts, should post a pic of my longsleeve here too !)
both pretty easy to handle but try it in front of a mirror & with your loadout to see that the vest really fits



beltkeeper ,for people who like that, are not really included, there are some connection points but you have to get your own lashes for that but i for my part do not like them so



the vest is cut pretty short & allows you to combine it with a weapons/utility belt which gives you enough room to operate



a point i like a lot as i am able to rotate ( as much as my belly allows that ) without restriction ( remember, only stiffend reinforced nylon mesh !)
[center]molle, plenty of that one & up to the top[/center]



[center]front & back[/center]



so find all the pouches you need,i use at the moment of course 5.11,Milspec Monkey & G&P pouches all of them fit well and the only thing is that the molle is a bit thight sometimes & some of them vary in size or be totally useless as way to small
otherwise a mollefanatics dream, front upper 3 rows of molle is rubberized to help you to stabilize your weapon ,looks more like leather & getting some pouches through there or a ITW Grimloc is a bit tricky
the backside offers velcro for your unit/bloodtype etc. patch as well of course on the front, for my idea a bit to low !



i still haven`t found the best layout yet & the Milspec M.Admin Pouch is shredding my longsleeves with its velcro so i guess i gonna have to change that



the "famous" inner docu pocket, havent found a use for that one `til now and guess wouldn`t have seen it ( if i haven`t read the ad. :) !) as well as the hydration pocket ( sorry guys at 5.11 , i like your stuff a lot but how would i be a able to put a full blader inside there & still be able to move comfortable !?)
maybe there is a trick for that , help me out there please ;)

the interior griphandle makes it nice for carry around but if that yould hold up if someone trys to pull me away ,hmm

in total, i like the vest a lot, have used it recently a lot and i tell you, it is damn humid & hot around here but i was still ok when others started to lighten up
