So i just bought myself a phantom CIRAS replica (land in Kakhi) I was worried that the color would'nt match the BDU's that i wear, mainly Woodland, ACU, CADPAT, OD. So far it seems to work pretty well, it seems that the Phantom 'kakhi" has somwhat of a "greenish" hue, not sure how this compares to the real EAGLE versions. I have never owned this type vest, but after trying this on I love it!! (I want a maritime version now).
I like how snug it feels around the torso, and the versatility the molle system give you. The vest itself is a Medium but it was a bitt loose, I had to look up the eagle maunual on how to adjust the lignth of the straps and stuff but, after some tweaking it's seems much better. I love this freaki'n thing! I give it a 2 thumbs way up, for looks, feel, quality, and function.
Question:
how does the Phantom compare to the EAGLE ones? Stupid question but, would it be asenign to try and put real plates in it and wear it when I go on tour to Afghanistan?
I heard that the real deal is made with 1000 thead count cordura as opoesed to the phantom being made with only 600, is that true?
and forvive me if this question has been asked before;
how do you use the "pull cord" to release the vest?
