I have a few concealable duty vests (galls, etc). Will this hold the soft panels that go up the shoulders a bit, and is there a pocket for soft trauma plate?

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

No pocket for soft trauma plate. The vest will fit if not too large. I'm not a very big guy and I had to pack it in but it fit. Good quality and works at a great price.

The vest itself is covered in MOLLE strapping meant for additional pouches, magazine holders, etc. For something like a name tape or a patch you will want to add a strip of velcro yourself.

The side pockets are elastic straps. The bottoms of the "pocket" are open so if you were to put something very narrow in, it may fall straight through.

Hi D. We use the side pocket to store a pistol and bullets, but it's not specifically designed as such. Let me know if you have any other questions.

My answer would be yes. It is VERY CHEAP. You can literally make a cardboard chestplate and it'll be stronger than the vest.it's flimsy.

No this is a standard type of load bearing vest that is some what generic in nature. If you buy you will need to tweak the vest to make it fit. Still a good deal though. But in stalling plates is not an option.

This set up is more intended for convenience and capacity than concealment. It is a very sturdy and reliable system and it is probably a decent way to carry a licensed small concealed weapon, but I believe the designers intended it to be used for easy access carriage and did not primarily set out to conceal. It wouldn't be comfortable under a vest, in my opinion. It is most comfortable over the outer layer of clothing.

Mine covers the pockets completely. Truxedo actually makes another version that is inside the rail that does not cover the pockets. So make sure you pick the right one.

Yes! It will hold just about any fullsized pistol. You will have to reajust the molle straps on the holster to get it stable on your body while moving. It's a nice vest for the money. I also have condor plate carriers and steel plates.

I do not use this vest. I bought it for my 11 year old nephew to use when playing Airsoft and/or paintball. He is, however, obsessed with all things military and knows a lot about various weapons, ammunition, etc. I asked him if he thought it would hold AK47 magazines. (He was wearing it earlier this evening). He checked a few of the pockets and estimated that one or two of the pockets might hold a 30 round magazine. He has not used it for this though so I cannot be 100% certain.

The weights fit in individual pockets, so once all the pockets are filled there is no where else to add weight. When I bought this vest I had the same concern (am I going to outgrow the 100lbs?), and I can say that I am not even close to maxing this thing out. It is HEAVY. Good quality vest by the way. Good luck

You able to have weight plates secured in the front and back. It's not pouches, the weights are secured with velcro straps and flaps. There are two in the front and two two in the back. The weight locations are good, I like it because they are high in the front and back (not like other vest where the weights are lower) they feel balanced when the vest is worn. Hope this helps.

should be chest. it has the over the shoulder straps to help hold it in place with the gun in the pocket. I love it!

If your talking about a level 2 or 3 Kevlar panel from a under duty shirt vest, up to a size large will fit.

Inside pocket on the left will hold your wallet and the one on the right is for eyewear. On the lower inside back is a compartment that can hold something like a poncho (zipper to close). There is more than enough pockets at waist level on the outside for my needs. I just have to remember which pocket I place things :-) Also at breast level on both sides there is ample pocket space. On the outside back is a spacious velcro enclosed spot for even more gear. I wear my vest from Spring into Fall. I have purchased this vest twice in seven years (the first one I had to replace because of a rip through a momentary act of carelessness).

If the belt has MOLLE or pals webbing, it'll fit but it won't fit a regular pants belt. It's flat too, so it's not a good platform for a holster at 3 or 9 o'clock. It's more for a chest mount in my opinion.

Yes, it shows a bit. I use a plate with an operator cut. It doesnt bother me at all. I think its a good affordable option, and great for light duty use. This particular vest does not have an option for a back plate.
