Ok but not functional - UTG Pro 547 Law Enforcement Tactical Vest

Ordered this vest and was impressed by some of the reviews.

I want to start with the positives first.
Planet Optic processed, packed, and ship timely, arrived in good condition. Ultimately they also processed the return label quickly.
The unit includes inside pockets, magazine carriers, a side arm holster that would accommodate a mid sized revolver or up to a 1911 from the looks, I think a Micro would get lost in the holster. Plenty of magazine carriers for semi side arms and the unit is adjustable even for a tall person like myself.

The negatives and why I sent it back.
Right out of the box it smells horrible, whatever they used in China to make this it stayed with it, aired out overnight and my office now smells and my eyes are watery. The unit is really stiff, the box it came in was more pliable. The belt is unusable, it too is stiff and will not wrap around you flat. The 2 removable magazine holders (large capacity) on the left are only held on by velco and cannot be fully seated due to the side arm holster, with 2 - 30 round mag's that will be heavy and susceptible to loss.

All in all I could not get past the negatives of this unit in a very short time. I do want to thank Planet Optics for handling this return.
