I purchased this vest a few weeks ago as a Birthday present to myself. It ran me about $50 (cheap, but with the pouchs about $130) After waiting 5 days, it was at my house.
First Impression-
As I opened the box, I first took at my pouchs (TT Double, 2xTT Utilities Rolly Poly) and then out came the vest. I was very excited with it, and instantly tried it on, it was far too big at the moment, but I saw it could be made to fit me, but that would have to wait.
more in depth-
I brought my new goodies into my room, and then proceded to figure out the MOLLE system. It was very simple to attach the pouchs, and it was very secure. Another note, I have to ALICE pouchs on my vest, and thats another thing I like about it is that it doesn't have to be MOLLE specific pouchs! After getting all the pouchs on, realizing they were one space to the left, taking them off, and re attaching them in the right area, I proceded to adjust it to my size. Im short and fat, and I made it fit perfectly for me. After that, I took in the quality of this vest. the PALS webbing were superbly stitched on, and the whole thing looked absolutely bomb proof. After adjusting it to my size, I filled all my pouchs. After filling them to the brim (2 Util pouchs with 3 mags each+other bits, TT double with 2 mags, radio in small pouch, and bag of bb's in the M16 mag pouch) I realized I had 2 magazines left to be put in, but where. Then I found it, the map pocket. The map pocket can perfectly hold 2 M16 magazines laterally. Next I tried it on with everything in. The weight was perfectly distributed, and the vest was fine. I did have one small complaint, the straps dug into my neck a little and it is a little uncomfortable. This problem can easily be solved with the addition of an X harness, which brings me to my next point....
Add On's-
The TT MAV can be outfitted with 2 extra pieces. The first is a X Harness, which is a padded strap system with a back PALS webbing space for the addition of a hydration carrier or other pouch. The other addition is a bib, which adds another large area of webbing for pouchs. The bib and the x harness will run you about $30 each.
Overall-
Overall I love this vest, and am sure it will greatly help me in games. It's cheap, well built, and does its job nicely.
