A nice vest but needs to be modified
(2022-07-04)
A close repo but no silver dollar.
As Connell stated, the shoulders are too wide and the middle of the back at the top of the vest sticks up way too high.
I don't care for the accessory pouch on the left side way up on the shoulder and the right side next to the mag pouch, they should have put them both next to the mag pouch.
Other than these complaints it's a very nice vest, just needs some fine tuning.
Speaking of fine tuning, I would like to find someone here in the states that can sew this thick material and I'll do these mods.

Not to my expectations

I have been looking for the Rhodesian Fire Force Vest for some time. I read all the reviews and on those and scarcity i bought the vest. Took a week about average for the shipping cost.
On arrival I tried it on, was not happy with this at all.
The back of the neck stuckup so hi it was in the way of proper movement, my hat even
hit it. The arm holes are too small and restrict movement. Front of vest at shoulder is to wide, the padding is to wide. The lower back pouch/pocket is to wide should only be one inch past zipper on each side.
I know these were not issued, but privately payed for so I can only use the specs for the three that I have touched and seen.
I am not happy with the price of the vest as is, and will need to make the changes for it to be field ready.
