I find this vest to be really useful especially those that dont want to go MOLLE. The shoulder pads are awesome, as with all the pouches. Magazine pouch can fit 2 5.45mm AK magazine snugly. The buckles is only thing I didn't like, you have zipper already no point having buckles. It's kind of uncomfortable to use the vest without zipping up in my opinion.
Pros: Configuration is setup to typical users
Cons: No MOLLE on front,, pointless buckles when you have zipper on front
