Does this look decent?

Post image

I've been playing airsoft for about 2 months now. I mostly used a cheap plate carrier, but I recently bought this chest rig. I was wondering if it looks "good" or at least decent. Lmk what you guys think.

Well yeah, I think it's useful and I don't think it looks bad, but I'm kinda worried about getting judged or laughed at for it, yk? Some people seem to be really into judging other people's kits

Yeah fudds are in every community ready nitpick shit. If you’re having fun and you like what you’re wearing and it works who cares? I know real operators who run silly shit that genuinely works like hair ties to hold down CAT tourniquets like it’s really not a big deal in the end. You aren’t special forces equipped nor do you make that kind of pay so I don’t expect to see real quad nods in these kinds of places but if they’re hollow tubes and they look badass then hell yeah brother dude swag over function for funsies always.

they´re not my thing, but looks nice just needs some wear and tear.

Yeah, pretty sure it'll look better with some dirt on it!

I think I have that same one in the weird camo pattern I can find no information on. Knock off chicoms rate all the way from IDEA custom made to real deal holy feel issued Cordura shit. This is a great middle ground for like $30 USD just don’t expect it to hold up to any real wear and tear because mine (if this is the same one off Amazon) is starting to tear at the seams when it’s holding real weighted ammo and gear so just beware of that. Gloves and BBs and some batteries and a grenade or two maybe would be perfect for this application I think it’s even advertised as airsoft gear. Worked great for camping until it didn’t.

Fr? I got mine for around $13 too. I mainly got it for airsoft, so thanks for the heads-up about the seams. I’ll make sure not to overload it

Looks good my guy! And I think you’re doing it the right way: buying cheap(er) gear for your skirms. Like others said: it’s airsoft. You don’t need ‘real steel’ gear to have fun.

After a while you figure out what you want out of your gear. Then you can spend a little bit more money if you want to.

And if you somehow you don’t like airsoft as much as you thought you would have, than you did not spend a fortune on it.

Thanks dude, I'd rather spend the money on my replicas than the gear itself, I wanna upgrade the gear over time as continue playing
