Thx mate. The vest is a Phantom Land CIRAS in Coyote Brown. I've added the integral rifle sling and a Maxpedition Wallet via Malice clips to sport our company ID.

While I'm a stickler for authenticity, its a sentiment driven by quality. Fake stuff usually falls apart more easily and as each piece where I was trying to save a few bucks falls apart, its replaced with something more costly and durable - and usually 'real'. Not everything has needed this replacement however, and I give credit to Phantom for building a vest that has stood up thus far, very well actually.

I run it without the support that ballistic plates would provide. Its carried my rifle, 3L Camelback, 8 spare mags (systemas now, which are quite heavy) along with all assorted sundries for my outdoor airsofting over two years so far and there isn't a single rip or wear point on it yet.

My only gripe thus far is in how the cummerbund is velcro'd on both sides, thus either way you attach it, the underside has velcro on it that rubs and chaffs my shirts. I've duct taped it over to prevent this (somewhat) but it makes it sweaty in that area.
