Re: help with chest rigs or battle belt??
Fkn A it needs to change it's name. Everything is out of stock! Everything I liked was OOS, but I finally found something. I wonder what will arrive? The
I ended up with a
Esstac Chest Rig, Bush Boar A1 (Split Front). I had to buy the hydration carrier and the padded harness to add on to use a hydration carrier, but that is OK. I wanted a basic chest rig, but with SDK, they never having anything in stock I got what I could, while I could. I really was looking for something with a zipper up the front. I got tired of hauling off my POS vest and adjusting fit right with my armor. So I got a Christmas present early...
It is a nice rig and allowed me to swap out the M4 pouches for M14 pouches. I added on the ESSTAC wedge inserts that are supposed to keep the mags in with out bungees. We will see. Ended up being an expensive piece of kit, but I am tired of running with my cheap crap. It is falling apart.
I was tempted to buy this
Condor Tactical Gear Modular Chest Set at LAPoliceGear.com where I get most of my clothing on sale. For only $47 with a hydration carrier and the pockets stretching to accept M14 mags it looked good. With a zipper in the front is was all I needed, but I didn't want to be married to a huge vest when all I need is a chest rig. You pay for what you get and I have already been down that road.
To answer your question, I have a bunch of instruction coming up I needed to get some new kit. I ended up dying of thirst and borrowing water bottles from guys while I was reloading mags. Not this year
