Replica RAV

[SKI]

I just picked up the Phantom CIRAS replicafrom Jon and it looks tough. It comes assembled already. I have to figure out how to adjust it as it comes adjusted as small as possible for shipping. I'll post up later what it feels like when I get it to fit properly.

The real RAV is not $1000. If you keep an eye out for deals, you can easily get it for under $350 USD.

The Phantom CIRAS looks pretty good. Disassembled, it looks almost identical to my real one.

Ok. I adjusted it and it fits well. It has quite a bit of adjustment. I'm 6' tall and 190lbs and it still has a few notches left. It's actualy pretty easy to adjust once you see how it's put together. If you don't want to drop a bundle on the real Eagle CIRAS plate carrier, this is a great alternative. It comes with all the pouches in the picture so that's an even better deal in my eyes. Build quality looks excellent but until it sees some field use, it's hard to say how the stiching will hold up. It does look properly stitched though.
The mag pouches are not exactly like the picture. There is a single/double, a double/double and a tripple/double pouch, not the three double/double pouches in the pic. Everything else is the same.
The velcro is extremely strong and there is plenty of it. There are a few strips that I'm not sure what they're for. The radio pouch fits my M9 and secures it properly. I don't see any chance of it falling out unless the elastic that is meant to secure the radio breaks and that looks unlikely.
I don't know how it compares to the real deal but it's a nice piece of kit on it's own.

It fit 2 AK mags in each pouch no problem.
