Well i was driving to work when i saw in a shop window this vest. When i entered the shop i asked the man if i could take a closer look at it. BE-X ?? I have never ever heard of this brand in my whole military career . The reason why it attracted me to the shop was because it reminded me of the Arktis vest i used to use in my Army days, with some major differences. Since moving to Switzerland I work for a demolitions construction work group here and this vest sort of pulled my eye because of my work nature. I am very new also to airsoft. A friend of mine got me into it and since then i have enjoyed it.
Anyway for the price and the size this vest scores very high in my opinion.
For a person who enjoys Recon / Infil type jobs this vest may not be your cup of tea because who ever invented this vest did not take into mind the esense of silence. Why? The magazine pouches flaps are attached with Velcro which is quite noisy when openeing but this can be fixed quite easily by buying some one sided velcro material. The pouches also have popper fasteners to close them. Now dont get me wrong this does not destroy anything this vest makes a great Combat and Assault vest.
This vest sits very well on the upper body apart from the velcro its a very silent vest when worn properly. It has many ajustment palaces. Plus for a small simple vest it hold alot of stuff enough for an assualt. For me it is great at work because when absailing is needed i can lock my rappeling gear and easily reach into any of the pouches. It also makes it great in woodlnad areas because the pouches sit close to your body so they dont get caught in the foliage or bushes. The Magazine pouches are great they can hold up to 2 or 3 mags each depending on what Mags you use. Here i can praise the Velcro because on theis vest you can ajust the hight of the pouch for the mags you use. I use the Mag pouches for my carabiners and other climbing stuff. When i go to skermish then it holds 8 M16 mags. It also has 3 pistol mag pouches which i also use for glow sticks 150 mm.
It also has 2 utility pouches which when packed properly can hold quite alot in a compact way. I have in the right pouch a helmet or head torch, Swiss army knife, 2 face masks (ski masks), Shoe laces, bonnie hat, extra batteries plus a water proof pouch.
On the left utility pouch Waterproofs Jacket and trousers small mag light and an emergancy cooker.
On the back of the vest on the Inside is a pouch that can be opened to insert a hydro pack or camel back Water filter.
There are also next to the Mag pouches 2 inner pouches which are closed by zips and are easily accessed when the assualt vest is worn. In these inner pouches i keep spare gloves and in the the other a crap hat or ghillie hat.
There is also a small utilitys pouch on the top left side which is where i put glasses or other stuff that is needed. Can also be handy for smoke grenades or grenades.
There is also an emergancy grab handle for pulling injured people to safty. Also enough places to hang stuff off.
Alice and molle eqquipment can also be attaced to certain areas on this vest so it is qite usefull.
For extra pouches ( Magazine pouches , water bottles or butt packs) i have added an Alice webbing belt to the special hanging belt mounts on the bottom. This also helps for more stability to the vest.
Do not forget this vest can be easily ajusted.
The material so far being cordrua is quite strong and has held up. This vest is also easily washed.
All in all this vest is great for its value and size.
I recomend it to all of you.
It is also available in many different camoflague patterns.
Have a nice one hope this has helped people.
