I upgraded from a 20 lb sand vest and absolutely love this 35 lb extremely well made tactical like vest! It looks badass, it fits badass and I like that each piece of iron is 2.5. I like that this vest is nice and short so it doesn't fit like a jacket. Everything is very very strong all the way from the velcro to the buckle to the secure pockets for the iron blocks(which have a very nice wolf tactical imprint on them as well which is cool). I love that there is a place for my own customized patches, I bought some and I love being able to fit at least two on at a time. The wolf tactical velcro patch is very cool though and I don't mind sporting it! My only single complaint was that I had to buy a separate phone case holder that attaches (not perfectly)to the vest from Amazon. I wish there was one built into this vest then it would be a 5 out of 5 for sure. I don't need a place for headphones or for water. But I do need a place for my phone. I would like to see someone hang up the vest somewhere using these little plastic rings, I actually use that to hang my keys, but it just seems like plastic might not hold 35 lb? I don't know I haven't tried it. And I didn't really know what to hang it to either. So I'm curious how to hang this vest up. Right now it just sits in the back of my truck but if I wanted to it would be nice to be able to hang it up like on some kind of special heavy duty tactical vest holder. Thanks for making such great product!
