(Link) Hey guys! If you remember WAY back to August 2012, you would remember my review on the N-Strike Tactical Vest, one product that was high on my shopping priority list. Now, I have since gotten my hands on the Elite version of the vest. Just in-case you haven't read the original, here it is: http://softtasmania.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/review-n-strike-tactical-vest-gear-up.html A few pics to follow, highlighting the key features of the new, fancy vest. (Sorry in advance for the poor quality, I was in a rush.) :P

Basically the same vest, but with a few key differences. |

Clip and Dart Straps are now BLUE, to emphasize Elite colours. |

Elite badge is bigger than the original N-Strike badge. |

Done away with the funky holster, the replacement is a belt clip, and a strap located beneath it. The clip is designed to hook up the priming pull on the Firestrike for example, and the strap is to secure it in place, firmly. |

Easy to tuck a Jolt into still, but a Triad JUST fits in there. :P |

Also a major change is the replacement of zips with Velcro straps. These fit and hold very well, to my surprise. |

Nerf removed the sword holster from the rear. A sure sign that it wasn't used much on the original, due to the scarcity of N-Force here in Australia. |

What's this? FACE OFF TIME!!!

N-Strike Clear Clips VS Elite Clips |
So, would I recommend it? It's a tough ask, but if you missed out on the original, I'd still recommend the Elite version. Looks and feels comfortable, but has a few minor niggles, such as removing the holster. Overall, still a good buy for $30, on sale this week at Target.
Now, I'm very sorry for the long wait for the next video review, I should have the Strongarm review uploaded by the end of this week. Someone is celebrating his 20th B'day this week :P And also, Alex is promising new content soon. TTFN!
