Great product! Fit and material are superb, the shirt is super comfy
Looks great and very solid. The multicam elastic band holds very well and colours seem very faithful
Shekkin LV-MBAV Gen II?
As a person who is a major fan of scalable low-viz kits, this review comes at the end of a 2yr journey to put together my ideal kit. I missed out on the OPTactical Crye LV-MBAV drop last August and picked-up the Tracer E-MBAV, and while that is a fantastic kit, I didn't like how the AXL AVP and other chest rigs attached, I then switched to a Shekkin L/XL LV-MBAV and was some-what disappointed, I found that the Multicam was a bit off and the vest did not include the skeletal 3-brand cummerbund that crye produced LV-MBAV came with. I also found that the L/XL was the wrong size for me. After some time I wanted to try again and decided to order a S/M LV-MBAV, and when it arrived I was BLOWN AWAY! the first thing I noticed right off the bat was improved materials! the Multicam was spot on; it matched my real steel Shaw Multicam Raid Lite Pouch! and my other real steel accessories like my AXL LV-MBAV AVP! I also noticed that the velcro had also been improved. Now for mine I reached out to Shekkin and wanted to add 1-inch cable pass-throughs between the SAPI plate pocket and the soft armor pocket allowing me to run communications cables, hydration hoses, and antennas over the shoulder straps and into each plate-bag or out the side of each cummerbund. The tailors at Shekkin NAILED it! I am running an Ice Plate Curve for water and a CATT Tail Antenna for my radio inside the rear plate-bag and routing it to the front! The tailors even created the skeletal cummerbund for me and I recently ordered a JTAC cummerbund from them to for the kit. Now onto plate sizing, the QORE Performance Ice Plate did take a bit of work to fit in the bag but it did go in! I am also running PTS Dummy SAPI Plates in Medium and Tracer Tactical's foam ventilated MBAV inserts (I did have to trim these to fit) all of it fits perfectly into the carrier and is tight enough so everything won't shift and fills out the carrier correctly. As a person is setting up a dual comm kit for a RTO/JTAC role this carrier has been top notch and I highly recommend it!
Sewn perfectly, excellent quality and the AOR1 pattern is spot on
As the guy who does the LV-MBAV mods, this is arguably sewn better than the real ones. Also the AOR1 is spot on
Great replica of the Crye AVS. Only thing I would change is buy the actual shoulder pads from crye or somewhere else as the ones that come with the rig are very stiff and provide no padding.
Very stiff and absorbent material but does its job of taking weight off the shoulders pretty well. In order to avoid sweat soaking in though, you will most likely want to invest in the attachable pads.
The construction is not bad but, the flaps are too short to be closed. I wasn't expecting that for that price, the chest rig need some improvement.
99% accurate, excellent build and stitching. Genuine first spear tubes also used. As close as you'll get without getting one issued from the Q. That last 1% being the emergency quick release used here is a PVC coated steel wire cable versus the issued one being a nylon (? or some other polymer) cord.
I was disappointed initially as the set came with badly rusted eyelets on the shoulder straps. The quick release cable also failed, as the crimped 'lug' came off the cable at the top end. Customer service wasn't reassuring as they only suggested to try and fix it with WD40.......
So I was definitely surprised when a Shekkin Gears package arrived containing a replacement front plate carrier and quick release cable, as there was no mention at all from customer service. The new front plate carrier also has stainless steel eyelets on the shoulder strap (confirmed non-ferrous with a strong magnet).
Perfect for my Cyma CM009D.
Making a Colt 723 early Gordon
I had a rather unhappy childhood, so I grew up watching *Black Hawk Down* whenever it aired on movie channels.
I was particularly inspired by the scene where Randy and Gordon risked everything to rescue Michael Durant—it struck me as the ultimate act of heroism and dedication—and I really wanted to replicate that specific loadout.
Although health issues meant I ended up serving in a different capacity, buying this gear as a civilian has brought me so much happiness.
It’s like reliving that feeling I had back when I was young!
Extremely comfortable low profile plate carrier. Fits Shekkin’s MBAV cut soft armor + a medium size foam dummy plate. Couldn’t get a Shekkin weighted plate in but those are very thick.
AOR1 pattern matches my other Shekkin stuff and my Crye NC fields. Ranger green is a bit off. Doesn’t glow under IR either.
Size S/M
Cummerbund adjusted full tight
5’5” 160# 40” chest
I couldn’t be happier Exactly what I was looking for and you won’t find it anywhere else thank you for the awesome product
If I didn't know this was a clone of the weaver it would fool me. I think its as close as its possible to copy. only 4 stars because I think the screws could be just a tad longer
This is a great alternative to the hard to find and expensive Surefire 660. only down sides the anodize is a little shiny and not as tough as the original finish, and the internals seem a little flimsy compared to the Surefire. That aside it looks and works well, Combat rated, maybe not.
Very good product, the Aor1 material is well made and looks great, the sticting is good
Excited to fully test it at my next game!
Wish we had a push button tail cap for it
Awesome other then that
Great product; I can recommend it for its high-quality workmanship.
The best replica Ferro Adapt accessories. zippers align perfectly, has good shape, the shade is ever so slightly lighter than my real FCPC V5 but it’s not noticeable really. Would buy again!
