FLYYE MBSS
About the vest
The Flyye is a direct replica of the AI MBSS. It is the small/medium version, just like the Pantac made one. It made from 1000D Cordura, just like everything else Flyye makes. There is a back, and front compartment, for the usage of plates. You are able to insert real plates or replica, which will make the MBSS look a lot better, because it will be stiffer, and fit nicer.
On the front of the vest there are 6 rows of Molle webbing, and on the back, there are 7. The very bottom row is the one on the Velcro, which is used to close the pocket for the plates.
The vest is also very adjustable, so it should fit a variety of people. Much like the Pantac one, it only comes in one size. While it is very adjustable, and should fit a lot of people, there will be some that it may be small for. I am about 6 feet, 190 pounds, and it fits me great, along with a large amount of room left for further adjustment.
The buckles on the Flyye MBSS are tan, which in my opinion is better than the black ones on the real ones, because they blend in better. However, if you wish to get black buckles so it looks real, it is cheap. You are able to purchase the clip on buckles at a number of stores, or simply paint the tan ones black. This is not needed, but people who want 100% realism can do so.
Quality
As I mentioned earlier, it is made from 1000D Cordura, which is what real gear is made from. The fabric, of course, is very good quality. The stitching is very good, tough and will not break easy. I have a Pantac CIRAS for comparison. The stitching in some places is better on the Flyye. Another small touch I noticed was that Flyye engraves their company name on buttons. It is something very simple, but shows that they try to make good quality items, with attention to detail. I am very happy with the purchase, and do not regret it at all. Stitching is great as I said before, and will not break while airsofting. It will hold up great, and last a long time. I have no complains on this vest at all.
The clips used to hold the vest together will also hold up quite well. There are 2 large clips to hold the sides, and then 2 smaller ones that hold the front and back together. These will not break easy and will last a long time. However, if for some reason they do break, I have been told that you can purchase new ones that simply slide on to the fabric. All you would have to do is cut of all the cold ones and slip on the new ones on the fabric. All of the pouches, as well as the MAP are all FLYYE. The pouches are stitched wonderfully, with no issues at all thus far.
Performance
I have used this vest at a game I just attended. It felt so comfortable to wear. I have had a CIRAS, as well as a Condor Plate Carrier. This MBSS beats them boat, I could wear it all day with no discomfort at all. The MBSS design is so good, and Flyye has captured this same essence in their replica. I would highly recommend some kind of plates, because the vest is even better with them. You can make some using cardboard, or anything else that you can think of. I absolutely loves this, and is my favorite vest that I own. I will be getting a reap FAPC, as well as a FLYYE version to review.
Bottom line is, if you want great high speed gear at a good price, FLYYE is the way to go. They have good prices on gear which will rival Pantac.
They are also currently having a sale on all their items. So now is your opportunity to get great gear at a even better price. Until February 1st of this year, you can enjoy 40% of on all the great gear that makes up Flyye.
For any questions, please contact me, or Bob at Flyye. His email can be found on the Flyye website.
