lol at the guy who said about viper spec ops gear - I actually laughed out loud. I'm glad I found this video, as i'm just about to make an order for one of their RICAS vests. Could you tell me what size you ordered? I was thinking I may need a small but they don't seem to do em? you look about my size and build but...? i'm not sure haha. Would appreciate it if you could get back to me. Cheers
@cchavezz If you're around my build (I'm 5'11, ~70Kg) go for the RICAS Compact or the DCS. The standard RICAS and the Raptor are pretty massive armour carriers.
@CKinnerley Cheers for your reply mate. Wasn't expecting to get a response at this time! I was thinking the RICAS compact but was wary about placing an order as it doesn't state a size, only that it's 'fully adjustable'. Was looking at medium sizes for the Raptor and was comparing my chest to it, and the Raptor's 38 inches. I was thinking jesus, i'm only 33/34" - I don't really want it to be saggy! Have emailed UKT to get some of clarity on sizes, because their returns policy isn't available.
@cchavezz If you don't get a reply (they get a lot of e-mails) just ring 'em up. My Compact fits me pretty nicely once I spent a little bit of time adjusting it, very high quality rig.
@killinghero That aimed at me? If so, I haven't touched a piece of Viper gear in about 7 years. Warrior kit gets used by a lot of Army lads out in afghan and stands up to it brilliantly, quality wise it's about 100 levels above anything viper chucks out. If there's one fact I can assure you on my friend it's that nothing made by Viper even gets close to Warrior. The fact they might cost the same just indicates that the Viper kit is a rip-off by comparison.
@airsoftjuncky Warrior is pretty much a UK/Europe specific brand mate, given the number of gear stores in the US I wouldn't go importing kit from Britain, that'll cost you a lot in shipping.
@WarriorAssaultSystem Well there we go, straight from the horses mouth. Thanks for the update, will be making sure I subscribe to your facebook updates. Keep up the quality gear guys, much appreciated by my airsoft buddies and my colleagues in the military alike.
First of all: I enjoyed this Video and it answered me some questions. Good work!
But i still have an open question: What can you tell me about the size?
Because i am in the decision to buy this vest but i dont totally get the size of the front and back panel.
Im not a small person (185cm tall, 95 kilos) with a wide chest and this vest seems very small to me. I am worried about a silly impression with a small vest on wide chest.
@DasCraveDing As I mentioned in the video, it's pretty compact, extremely similar to the Crye JPC. I'm about 181cm and 70kg, fits me great but it will look fairly small on someone like you. That's not necessarily a problem, because I've seen pics of the real guys using JPCs etc and it's perfectly normal, but compared to big bulky armour carriers of-old like the CIRAS or IOTV, this style of PC does look very different.
@TheRBAirsoft Skirmish video? Not sure at the moment, it's awkward to arrange so it might not be for a while. If I can then I will, just a case of waiting for the opportunity.
@TheTpd3 To be honest, nowhere yet. They're fun for target shooting and making videos, but they're not very practical to skirmish. You need to carry loads of mags and they weigh a ton and leak a lot, so I stick to my TM EBB M4s when I play usually.
As for skirmishing in general, I play at X-Site 'Lane end' and 'The outpost' when I'm at home, which are both just outside the M25, north-west of london, also at a couple of sites near to Thetford in Suffolk when I'm here on the base.
is there any other website that sells this vest?

@tf732airsoft Pretty much only uk-tac, there's lots of similar PCs on the US market though.

The quick release clip is so in real life situations you can take it off of a wounded soldier without removing his helmet in the field.

i think you should buy the 'Viper Special Ops Vest' and you can also change it to a plate carrier is much more better and is about the same price

@shanksterdagangsta £129 for the PC, 5 shingles and 2 GP pouches is definitely a good deal, go for it I say.
