Lightweight, good stitching, strong velcro and a waist strap for support. All the buckles seem to be good quality as well as the eyelet hangers. Comes with 4 large magazine pouches and 2 smaller ones as well what looks like an IFAK pouch and a large folding pouch that you could put a lot of stuff in. Back is open for ventilation. Only concern I have is with the shoulder straps, they're a little thin on padding but if you're not heavily weighing it down with gear, it should be alright. Overall, it appears to be a very versatile vest that should last quite a while.
