Is The Nerf Tactical Vest Worth The $30?

Pictures thanks to SG Nerf. SG Nerf also says that this vest has a holster for pistol sized Nerf blasters. I'm kinda of torn on whether this is worth it or not. $30 is kinda much, but I've seen prices for other homemade stuff like this online and it's up there with this thing. This also comes with 2 Clear Clips and 12 darts. It holds 4 clips and 12 darts.
Do you guys think this is worth it? Does it look too nerdy for the $30? Going overboard on our hobby?
What are your guys thoughts?

I'd like to know how big this thing is, measurement-wise. Like, is it only made to fit 10-year-old kids, or can it be adjusted for decent-sized young adults?
That is definitely a 10 year old on the front of the box. Just kidding . But seriously, I would also want to know if it is adjustable to fit different sized people.

I just grabbed one less than an hour ago and I am currently wearing it. I am 6' 1" and 200 lbs and it fits me perfectly out of the box. To answer your question though, there are two straps on each side, high and one low that are adjustable. Each one consists of a loop with a strap through it and velcro on the end that can be tightened or loosened. I would say a guy my size is about the upper limit for it, someone bigger most likely would not be able to wear it. I can't really loosen it too much more.I'd like to know how big this thing is, measurement-wise. Like, is it only made to fit 10-year-old kids, or can it be adjusted for decent-sized young adults?

I personally however would just go to an army surplus store and buy a real one instead. With real ones you can find al the extra pouches and design it any way you want. (put holsters on the left side, dart sack down at your hip, extra clips on your shoulder, etc. The customizeable aspect of the real ones would make me lean towards those instead
Makes logic eh?

Yeah, the Tactical Vests packaged in the product box looks smaller initially because they are actually folded up to fit into the box, the actual size of the vest seems to be designed more for adults (rather than just kids).Hmmm... Thanks SgNerf.... I saw some of those yesterday in target, but they just seemed rather small. I'm gonna have to consider picking one up now that you have sizes listed! Thanks again!
I initially thought they were only for kids and gave a set to my friend's 6yr old boy, the vest reached just above the little dude's knees, kid ended up looking like he was wearing an apron for art class. Haha...
I guess thats how Nerf managed to fulfill their "One Size Fits Most" statement on the box.

Don't even joke like that.
If there's one thing I hate, it's clicking on a review video hoping to get some bits of information, only to find that it's in the range of 10 minutes long. Who would sit through that?
