It's a great item. When you receive it, it will be set to the small size. It IS adjustable. The waist belt is adjustable with the molle webbing inside the padded belt. If you aren't familiar with this vest, just look closely for the adjuster around the waist. It's pretty simple. Might take a few tries to get it where you need it and centered up correctly. But once you got it, it's awesome. This is one of the best purchases I've made in quite some time. Even if you've drank plenty of beer in your life. It should fit perfectly. Even over a uniform or winter coat. Definitely get one or two.

I was in the military and I was always able to zip up the vests this one if your a guy bigger then a 28 waist don’t waste your money it’s just a strap I’m the same size as I got out a waist of 36 it’s about 6” to small fits my wife perfect though. It is very good quality even throw the fitment is off a little

This is a great value for a solid product. I am a 34 inch waist and Can zip up just fine. I had to adjust the back piece to get my size perfect, which I do not think a lot of the above reviewers realize is adjustable because of the molle adjustments. I’m carrying a lot of weight comfortably. I highly recommend this!

Not much more to say about it...it was brand new, in the issue bag. An incredible bargain at $10 for such a vest. Holds all my hiking equipment easily in numerous attachment locations.

Great vest. Not made for any above 32 inch waist as zipper will not work without taking in a deep breathe. I'll keep it since it has two chest buckles.
