NOVRITSCH Tactical Vest 1.0 — Everglade

The NOVRITSCH Tactical Vest 1.0 is a lightweight airsoft vest designed for players who want laser-cut MOLLE panels and a hydration bladder compartment without the weight and heat retention of a plate carrier. The universal fit covers sizes S to XL via removable buckles, and with separately sold expansion adapters it extends up to 4XL.

The polyester and nylon mesh construction is the defining design choice of this product: it reduces heat build-up during extended sessions in warm conditions, unlike closed fabrics that trap body moisture. The trade-off is that mesh provides less structural support than a full cordura body, so anyone looking for rigidity under heavy loads will be better served by a different solution. For a lightweight vest loadout, the balance tips in favour of breathability.

Laser-cut MOLLE panels on the front and back allow pouches to be configured without having to thread rows by hand as with traditional webbing: the slots are clean and installation is faster. The back panel accommodates a hydration bladder — not included — with reinforced routing around the tube exit; the technical description notes that the mesh can be opened at that point if needed to route the tube. An internal zippered pocket keeps flat items such as a phone or keys secured. Empty weight is approximately 900 g.

Key points

• The breathable mesh reduces torso overheating during intense airsoft sessions, unlike closed fabrics.
• Front and rear laser-cut MOLLE panels allow fast pouch installation without manually threading rows.
• Universal sizing with removable buckles covers S to XL; adapters for 2XL–4XL sold separately.
• The integrated rear hydration compartment supports use with a bladder (not included) with a reinforced tube routing.
• The internal zippered pocket keeps flat items secure during movement with no risk of accidental loss.
• No ballistic plate slots: the resulting weight is significantly lower than a plate carrier, with better all-day comfort.
