Hely Cancy Large Size Adjustable Toy Tactical Vest Kit Compatible with Nerf N-Strike Elite Series for Men, Big Kids XL-Size

Hely Cancy has made some unique and pretty solid products. I remember having made the gamble of purchasing their other products and have never been disappointed over what I received, well worth the money I invested. The same is with this knockoff of the Jazwares (already supposedly a cheap version of the official Nerf products) “Ultimate Battle vest.” The key features that make this vest great are as follows: First up we have the 2 elastic-lipped pockets on the bottom right (located while wearing the product). They are sized to fit up to a single (or around) a 12-dart magazine each. If you try to fit any bigger mags, namely the 18-dart mags, and it is more likely to fall over or hang from the elastic strap that holds it in and you may end up feeling a bit silly. It would seem that the Hely Cancy designers decided to use the zippered front like the Ultimate Battle Vest, perhaps an unnecessary addition due to the 4 large Velcro straps: 2 thick straps on the shoulder area under the blue and orange decor (different from the style of the camouflage pattern seen on the Ultimate Battle Vest, but similar to other Nerf design prints), and a single thick elastic strap with Velcro on each side. Just like the Ultimate Battle Vest, you can completely detach this vest into 3 pieces if you wanted to. The upper right pocket can fit a 6-dart magazine in it, or whatever else you would like to put in it (like ammo, or a MicroShots blaster). On this pocket are 6 individual black elastic dart holders. The upper left side where you might expect a Nerf logo is a strip of Velcro which allows you to put the provided blue and/or orange Velcro patch. I don’t know why Hely Cancy went with blue and orange instead of Red vs Blue, but they did. You can totally put whatever Velcro patch you want on it, through (just saying). Below it, though, are 6 more individual dart holders via another strip of black sewn and nicely proportioned elastic, and at the very bottom of the left side is a net pocket (like a fine Polyester fishing net pocket), which is the biggest difference between this vest and Nerf’s Ultimate Battle Vest. What I also discovered that makes a notable difference is that above the Velcro patch area is a tiny strip of strong molle webbing material portioned in half for 2 tiny units, maybe designed with the intention of providing a mount for a communication device to clip onto. The biggest pocket on this Nerf vest is the screen pocket on the back, and it is big enough to hold several 18-dart magazines, not that you would want to though because the pocket has a hole on the right side of it. This is not a defect, as it was done purposefully in order to make it easier for the wearer to pull out something like a blaster (perhaps a secondary) without excessive difficulty. Imagine trying to reach the small of your back from over your shoulder. This is how you must grab items inserted into your back pocket. There still poses the problem of having things accidentally falling out of the right opening of the net pocket, but at least Hely Cancy copied the “lip” feature that Nerf’s Ultimate Battle Vest had at the bottom right corner to discourage that from happening. My Hammershot blaster stayed in place for the most part with me running around trying to make it fall out, and eventually it did. There are bigger set of patches (again, one orange and one blue) for the strip of Velcro on the back. By the way, I am a full-sized adult and it was rather tight on me. I assume the average 8-13 year old will have no problem fitting this vest, but smaller-bodied children on the other hand might look comical if they are wearing this vest. This is listed as an Adult-sized vest after-all. If you are purchasing this for a child, hopefully they will grow into it. One last thing about the Hely Cancy Vest is that it has an aluminum carabiner clip on the left side for... Something... Keys..? I don’t know, but it is there if you need it. The Ultimate Battle Vest had a plastic swivel clip for the same vague reason. Here is where the deal gets sweeter, there are things that come with this vest. Protective eyewear (tinted blue and a bit blurry), 40 blue aftermarket darts (slightly less effective than the official Elite Nerf darts), a mask with an almost Day of the Dead style decor (a black balaclava), 2 wristers (wristlets with an elastic strap portioned to hold 8 individual darts), and a 12-dart magazine (fits Clip System or CS type Nerf blaster products that utilize magazines). The dart magazine does work, but I am sketchy about the longevity of aftermarket magazines using lower grade materials. Nearly all knockoff magazines eventually start getting stuck, tangled during use, or fail. You can see the difference in the spring too if held next to an official Nerf magazine (the knockoff has much more coils than the official). This is not to say that this will not work because my Hely Cancy mag totally works, it is just that it’s got a bad rap because others like it are notorious for not working properly and I have seen the multiple coiled mags get tangled up more frequently or simply do not work over time. One good thing about aftermarket magazines is that they are not solvent welded together and you can take them apart to clean, or switch out a spring you might have from an official Nerf mag that has a broken shell (since the internals fit). In conclusion, this version of the Ultimate Battle Vest is not exactly the Ultimate, but more like a hybrid that has some traditional styling as well as a couple innovations for users to fancy and an assortment of extras in the kit that are included and welcomed. Being marketed for an adult, I personally feel the vest should have more pockets to carry and quickly store/ withdraw 18-dart magazines. The space Hely Cancy chose to copy from the Nerf design to store the magazines was not significantly improved and not extended to hold 18-dart mags more efficiently, which is quite the bummer for most older Nerf warriors. But I digress, holding large magazines would be what a chest rig is for, and this is a vest, not a chest rig. The back screen pocket is still a great idea, but that utilization is also limited to the anatomy of the human body (and the oversized Nerf equipment one might try to carry in it, just because it fits). My idea of a real Ultimate Battle Vest would have a holster strapped to the neckline on the back so you can carry a foam sword. It would also have diagonal pockets sticking out from the shoulder area of your back with elastic-strap lips (easy insertion/removal) for 18-dart magazine storage, similar to the pockets on the current front lower right portion of the vest. This is to hold and draw 18-dart mags over-the-shoulder (like drawing arrows from a quiver, only 18-Dart magazines instead). It would of course have enormous pockets on the front to carry larger things or more numerous smaller things. But alas, I am no designer. Props to Hely Cancy and their design team anyway for coming up with a product that improves on what is available on the market today with innovative ideas and more durable materials. I await what marvels they plan to release in the future. For now, I think this vest is one of the best to use for a regular Nerf war, and until I find a reason otherwise, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Overall, the vest and kit from Hely Cancy is a good deal on what turned out to be a well-made product.Specifically focusing on the vest itself:-The stitching looks good and without flaws or snags.-The pockets and pouches are well placed, of correct size, and properly reinforced.-The adjustments allow for lots of body types and sizes without fitting poorly.-The vest is light enough to not be a bother, but feels sturdy regardless.On the included accessories:-The included 12 round magazine is comparable to Nerf's own quality and I can't see any issues with it in any way. I tested it in over a dozen blasters from multiple brands and had no fit issues.-The wrist ammo holders are not of a proper adult size, nor are they something adults tend to use, so they're mostly going to end up as something that gets given away. I'd rather see a second 12 round mag tossed into the kit instead of these.-The darts are typical Nerf Elite style copies. Not accurate at all, but still they're well made and the tips are glued on securely. Hely Cancy has already stated that they are switching future kits to include far superior waffle tip style darts which is a huge bonus!-The safety glasses and neck scarf are both fine quality and even if you don't need them, they're bonuses that you can always share with someone as loaner items for those that need safety gear.Overall, I really have zero complaints with the vest and the kit as a whole. Everything's well made and sold at a reasonable price. Hely Cancy is very open to feedback, and with the swap of darts (and I'd love to see them switch the wrist things out for a spare mag, or more darts) this kit is one that should be considered before you make a purchase. I give it my personal recommendation!

I just got my Adult tactical vest in the mail. I am a rather large man and I was concerned about the fit. The adjustable straps at first seemed like they would fail and on their own they would have. Luckily included in the order were what appeared to be two Velcro wristbands for ammo? (Not exactly sure) Those straps functioned excellently as extensions and now the vest fits very well. I’m loving the design as well. Handy mesh pockets, neat elastic dart holders for flair, Velcro patches to show team indication or whatever you like, and great pockets to hold two spare magazines. This vest is a good invest in my opinion. The face mask is cool also if a little slippery. I’m sure that if i didn’t need glasses then the included safety googles would have been great too but unfortunately i can wear them and still be able to see.For the price I paid, I am extremely satisfied. Many other vests by nerf just don’t fit me at all or are grossly overpriced. This is an amazing and smart alternative.9/10Near perfect

The best is cool and adjustable but it didn't come with any of the accessories like advertised and shown. And there isn't a removable colour on the back for teams.Sorta let down

Lo compré como un regalo para mi sobrino y le encantó. Llegó 2 días antes de la fecha estimada,lo cual me pareció perfecto. Es de muy buena calidad y tiene accesorios muy útiles para complementar el equipo. Súper recomendado

El pedido fue para mi sobrino de 12 años, le gustó mucho, todo bien con el envío.

Muy bonito solo q la cartuchera no es compatible con nerf al menos no con todas

En general estuvo bien pero los chalecos venían muy grandes para mi niño talvez no vi la medida al momento de comprarlos o solo había ese tamaño pero pues yo considero que estos juegos solo son para pequeños deberían venir más reducidos
