Our Crye AVS airsoft vest is a replica of the AVS (Adaptive Vest System) plate carrier by Crye Precision: 500D nylon, MOLLE over the whole surface, quick-release cummerbund and EVA foam plates included. It costs €218.99 in black, Coyote Brown or Ranger Green, and €259.99 in Multicam or Black Multicam. It is the choice for modern operator loadouts; for a first vest, a JPC at €48.99 does the same basic job.

What Is the Crye AVS?
The AVS is a modular vest system by the American brand Crye Precision, worn by many special units. It combines a plate carrier, a cummerbund that wraps around the torso and a large MOLLE surface, and is configured to suit the mission. In airsoft, it is one of the most sought-after replicas for recreating a current operator outfit.

Setting Up Your AVS
- Adjust the shoulders so the top of the front plate sits at the top of the breastbone.
- Tighten the cummerbund over your playing outfit, while breathing deeply.
- Put magazines at the front, in one or two rows depending on your replica.
- Keep the cummerbund sides for the radio and pistol magazines.
- Keep the back for water and spare kit.
Completing the Outfit
The AVS is most often worn with a railed helmet: see which airsoft helmet to choose. Choose the same colour family for vest, helmet and uniform: Multicam with Multicam, Coyote Brown with tan or Ranger Green.
