Can this make it into Canada from the U.S.

[Aries47]

I have been eyeballing this piece (http://www.evike.com/products/31625/) of equipment for days now pondering whether it would make it past Canada customs or not. I have read allot of articles by customs Canada (CBSA) and I do not believe there would be any issues. But, I would like your opinion, I do not want to waste my money by having my order seized and confiscated. I understand that the equipment I am looking at is quite bulky and most likely hot and uncomfortable but I want it none-the-less.

Yes that will make it through Customs, but ordering from Evike is hit or miss, plus be ready to pay duties and be raped for extra delivery fees if using UPS. Your better off finding the vest else where since your getting a "Matrix" brand which is Evike's rebrand of ACM. I am sure if you looked around Google you can find it else where.

Yes it can make it. Only certain real steel equipment, gear, and accessories are ITAR protected. Yes buy it elsewhere, or it will likely cost double or more by the time it's in your hands.

Here's a suggestion though. Even those look cool, they are heavy and hot, not great for airsoft. I'd recommend a smaller more high speed, more maneuverable plate carrier. Not to mention, many of those extra pads are not worn in real scenarios, due to the extra rigidity and weight.

OH GOD, I am sweating just thinking of wearing that. A regular plate carrier increases you body temp by 5 to 10 degrees, that thing would cook me to death, but I usually run hot.
