  1. WT

    This review is for this style of rig, not this specific brand: I ran one of these in a carbine class I took and it was super comfortable, super simple and super useful. USGI mags sit a little deep but if you use ranger plates or Magpul mag-assist loops you’ll be very pleased. I used the grenade pockets for a couple of boxes of ammo (fits 20 rd square boxes great), and loose rounds. My only issue was with the toggles -on the brand I have-. They don’t really keep the flap closed well if it’s not tight over the pocket. Nothing ever jumped out, though. It doesn’t look very tactical but it is very practical, and many times keeping it simple is good.

    I bought this looking to get my first chest rig and a lot of surplus chicom chest rigs I’ve read come with mold typically because the canvas material attracts moisture so easily. This one was so clean I thought it had to be a repro. One 1×1 brown spot that I’ll be able to clean up on one of the mag cells. For $23 you can’t go wrong here whatsoever.
