REVIEW: Toy Soldier AWS Strike Vest

Maybe it has already been rumored that small and narrow with few things is good. The AWS Strike Vest is one such case: four large magazines, four small ones, and up to two radios fit in. What more could you want? SPARTANAT has taken a closer look at the practical rig in the replica by Toy Soldier. The right side fits a radio the size of an MBITR, but can also be used as a holster. The shoulder straps can be clipped in front just above the rig. The left side with MBITR, which fits perfectly.

The front pouch filled with various magazines: PMAG, AEG M4 fits just as well as AK. The Chest Rig is an all-rounder with which you can carry four magazines.

On the large magazine compartments there are a total of four small pouches that can hold pistol magazines or - as here - magazines and flashlights.

No surprise from the back: The straps, which are clipped in front and back, provide the best support by crossing over, but can also be worn over the shoulder - front left to back left and the same on the right.

CONCLUSION: The AWS Strike Vest is a small, very practical rig that comes in a good copy from Toy Soldier. The material is light, the construction is minimal but sensible. For quick operations where you only carry ammunition and a radio, the AWS Strike Vest is ideal.

The replica AWS Strike Vest is available at Toy Soldier for $32.90. The original is available at Optactical for $99.
