NOVRITSCH Tactical Vest 1.0 — Kreuzotter

The NOVRITSCH Tactical Vest 1.0 Kreuzotter is an airsoft tactical vest with no plate compartments, designed for those who want extensive MOLLE coverage and a low empty weight of around 900 grams without giving up hydration bladder compatibility. It fits sizes S through XL via removable buckles, with expansion adapters sold separately to reach up to 4XL.

The absence of plate pockets is a deliberate design decision: it reduces weight and allows the vest to be worn through extended summer sessions without overheating the torso. The mesh fabric on the main body promotes airflow during intense activity, unlike a plate carrier which insulates the trunk. Anyone looking for ballistic protection or plate compartments should look at a different product; anyone who wants low weight and MOLLE modularity will find what they need here.

Front and rear panels are covered in laser-cut MOLLE, which eliminates the traditional sewn edge and reduces friction with add-on pouches during attachment. The internal zippered pocket holds personal items such as a phone or keys. The rear panel includes a hydration bladder pocket with reinforcement at the point where a tube port can be opened through the mesh — this requires a manual cut and the bladder is not included.

Key features

• Weight of approximately 900 grams empty: noticeably lighter than a full plate carrier, suited to extended airsoft sessions in warm conditions.
• Laser-cut MOLLE panels front and rear: pouch attachment is smoother than conventional stitched MOLLE and the usable surface covers the full extent of the vest.
• Universal fit adjustable from S to XL via removable buckles; 2XL–4XL adapters available separately, with no need to purchase a different size.
• Integrated hydration pocket in the rear panel with tube-port reinforcement: compatible with standard bladders, bladder not included.
• Internal zippered pocket for personal items, separate from the external MOLLE space.
• Intended for airsoft use: offers no ballistic protection and has no compartments for hard or soft plates.
