I have had this vest for 3 years now and have not had a problem with it. I use it for tactical training and paintball, The mag pouches hold 2 standard m4 magazines or one 100round pod. the great thing about mole is u can customize your vest. The pouch on the back fits a air tank great and the shoulders are great for right or left handed shooters (being im left). the reason why i put only 4 stars is that the front gets a little bulky with magazines, but no big deal. I strongly recomend this vest to people who are like me who carry alot of gear. thanks
