I was thinking of getting a tactical vest. Does anyone have any suggestions? I saw the Tippmann Broadsword, it lookms cool but is pricey.

I know they have one at opsgear, but I don't really like the look of them.

Specialops has a vest builder. Tippmann Vests are just Special Ops vests that are re-branded.

Personally, I use a PCS vest. Its a matter of opinion, IMO.

Hell, most people use packs..

Rap4 has nice vests.  That is where mine is from and I acrually like it more than my Spec Ops vest I had.  It stays in place better and is more comfortable.  Plus they have alot of different setups.

pcs makes some good vests, and there cheaper too, most of the time i use pod packs, but when a scenario game comes along ill use the vest.

This was funny, but only because of the poster's misunderstanding of the subject.  (Hint: The discussion relates to tactical vests, which are used for carrying paint/equipment; not protective vests.)

the spec ops builder is WAY too expensive.  I suggest getting a pre configured vest.

I think an important question is do you want the vest for looks or because you think it will help your game...?

Also what are you planning on putting in it...

I want the vest to carry gear, paint ,etc... I'm use to one from when I was a soldier. I'd like one that carries at least 4 pods, c02 tank,a radio, and a camel pack wouldn't hurt. And no urban camo.

What is the price range that your looking at?

What size pods are you going to carry and how many?

How big an air source do you have?

Getting a vest is kinda like buying a car. You first have to know what do you wanna hawl arround and how much paint does your air source can carry. It's pretty useless to buy a vest that holds 20 pods when your running a 9oz CO2 tank. Your should never carry any more paint than your airsource can handle.
