Hi,

I want to buy a (new) molle vest. But living in germany  doesn´t make it easier.
90% of the vests here are  cheap (to cheap) airsoft replicas.
The others costs from  400$ upwards withaout the sapi plates.

I found the phatom eagle ciras replica vest in ebay. The price is  ok, more than ok.
I already own a phantom belt and pouch and I think the quality is quit good.
I´ve also seen phatom vests and products in US shops.
So I think it should be ok from the quality aspect.

What do you think ? hing
Michael

I took a chance and bought there copy of the Eagle Plate Carrier. The stitching on the cummerbund came apart before I even used it. I sent it back for a refund and had a real hard time getting my money back. Had to have paypal contact them. Just my experience. I would stay away from them.

I just bought the CTD carrier and put my Ranger body armor and plates in it. If you are looking at saving money on a tactical vest this might be an option. By the carrier a set of 3A inserts and paltes and you have your setup. I plan on measuring my vest side flaps to see if they will accomodate side rifles plates. Just a thought.

Well, CTD has some nice stuff but they don´t ship Int.

And here in Germany  you get either the 30$ airsoft stuff or real expensive stuff with the  a little price add for not getting something else in germany.

90% of the shops in the US don´t sell to foreign customers.

So it´s either blackhawk 800$ stuff (without the pouches) or airsoft  stuff   for us here.

Or a hard way searching and ordering to get some mid price  stuff without any problems.

I would love to order  20000 things at ctd  but.......

what if you paypal'd a trusted member on this site the money to cover the cost a good reputable vest and shipping to your location....and then the member here in the U.S. made the purchase for you and shipped it to you?

Oh thanks, for the 2 links Jake.
I´ll read it carefully and decide then.
Well AS stuff could be ok but..., ok  I´ll check what the review  is saying.

@ fivepointoh
Yeah, always good to have friends in the US to order stuff and sending it private heAnd after the vest ?  2 wees later some pouches ? In 3 weeks  a holster ?

8 weeks  some AR  stuff ?

But maybe I´ll come back to this.
I would love to do this honestly and have such a contact but I´m afraid it would be to much  work or incommodities

But after reading the reviews, I think it´s ok to order one of the phantom vests.
After all, the 2 reviews where quite good.
