Tactical vests are a great lightweight option for carrying your side arm or magazines. Tactical vests do not carry plates so they save on weight and don't insulate heat the same way a plate carrier would. Often, these vests are designed with a front mounted vertical zipper or buckle system. Certain vests have pouches that are sewn on, and some have MOLLE webbing stitched on. HiAirsoft carries a large selection of different types of vests.
