What type of tactical vest for airsoft?

Vest with soft attachment system

This combat vest is offered by brands such as TACTICAL and MILTEC. Soft-fastening vests are available in black, olive or tan. These combat vests have won many positive reviews from airsoft enthusiasts.

Tactical camouflage vest

One of the most popular items in the airsoft world, the black and green camouflage tactical vest is very much in vogue. It is offered by manufacturers such as SWISS ARMS, VIPER, PRIMAL GEAR and EMERSON. Opting for this type of product allows you to adopt a military look, especially if you combine it with a camouflage jacket and shoes. Tactical jackets are generally multi-pocketed.

Camouflage vests include multicam models. Ergonomic and lightweight, they feature a V-neck designed with high-quality nylon and polyester. This model also features a pistol pouch.

Chest Rig tactical vest

The Chest Rig jacket is a lightweight tactical vest whose compact size is perfect for carrying essential accessories such as an extra charger, map, marbles, etc. A model like MILTEC's Chest Rig 7-pocket vest, in black, olive or coyote color, gets a lot of positive reviews. Although it doesn't usually have a soft attachment system, the Chest Rig tactical vest has a belt on the waist to prevent it from falling off.

The JPC tactical vest

Last but not least, INVADER GEAR brand combat vests are made from Cordura, a strong, breathable fabric that washes easily and dries quickly.

How to choose an airsoft vest?

There are several features to consider when choosing a tactical vest.

The vest's durability

If you're browsing a stock of tactical airsoft vests, you'll be interested in models made from quality materials like Cordura. Otherwise, to buy a combat vest that will last over time, opt for brands like VIPER, TACTICAL, CONDOR or EMERSON. Even if their price is higher, you're entitled to far more resistant seams. These tactical vests also benefit from reinforcements and excellent padding.

Type of vest

To succeed in your mission, you need to be comfortable in your tactical vest. It can't be too tight or too loose. Take a look at three types of airsoft vest: the plate-carrying vest, the crossover vest and the harness with combat belt.

Plate vests are lighter in weight than the tactical vests used by the military, making them ideal for airsoft. As for the tactical cross-body vest, it is sold at a lower price than the plate vest. Easy to wear and remove thanks to its zipper, this tactical vest generally features several fabric pockets. Finally, equipment such as a harness and combat belt can be worn over a suit. This type of vest is fitted with a soft strap, enabling the addition of an extra pocket. Perfect for snipers.

Color and space for accessories

The choice of tactical vest depends on the environment in which you play your airsoft games. If you're playing outdoors, a tan model is perfect. On the other hand, if you're playing in a room, a black SWAT-type tactical vest is preferable.

The best vests are those that allow you to carry an extra magazine, scope and other accessories. For this reason, most manufacturers create models with a maximum number of pockets. These must remain closed during your gaming sessions. So look out for a model with zippers or Velcro straps.
