So I ordered the gun and ordered some mags.....then realised I didn't have any way of carrying them, duh!
I've got some Fazmags coming from MagfedPB UK ( http://www.magfedpbuk.com/accessories/mags/faz-mag-milsig-tpx-dw ) so needed some kind of MOLLE vest/harness to hook them onto.
I've had problems in the past as I'm a scrawny wretch with a 30" waist and most stuff tends to swamp me - even elasticated tournament packs have tendency to migrate upwards towards my armpits.
Wasn't fussed about appearance and wanted something cheap - eventually decided to order a Bulle MLE harness from Flecktarn: http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/mctmb3nx.html
Bulle is Flecktarn's in-house brand and they tend to produce knock-offs of service kit from other manufacturers at cheaper prices. The MLE was available in OD green, tan or Multicam - would have preferred black, but went for the MC in the end.
Harness arrived today, less than 24 hrs after ordering (although I did pay £9 for special delivery, so nothing exceptional there). After loads of faffing with the many adjustments I've managed to make it a snug fit, just!
Build quality seems good, although the design itself is weird. One side of the belt is MOLLE and the otherside has fixed magpouches, which sit against your body. I guess if you wanted to you could reverse the belt and have the pouches outside. Not sure how comfy it will be with those pressed against my body, but unpicking them looks fairly easy if required.
Daft number of buckles and quick-release straps, not really designed for paintball. This pic gives you an idea of how much adjustment there is in the straps - I've literally had to coil up over 2ft of strap to shrink it down to my size. Fully extended I reckon it'd be baggy on Giant Haystacks.
One nice feature is that between the MOLLE side and magpouch side are two zippered pockets built into the belt. Look ideal for storing 12g or car keys.
Overall pretty pleased, will have to see what it's like to play in. Only change I've made is to use some velcro straps to add belt loops along the bottom to prevent the belt riding up. Will update pics once my Fazmags arrive.
Show us and pics and opinions of your setups!
