Lately there have been a lot of threads created to ask opinions on the varying options as far as chest rigs go. This thread will contain both low profile, and full load out rigs. It will contain as many possible brands and versions each brand offers, as possible. If I miss any, Please feel free to post them. If you have any reviews of any of the following rigs, please feel free to post them. However. If you choose to do so, please make it as in depth, and as professional as possible. Please no +1s or I have this, and I like it. If you have one, and you like it, write it up. Make it sound good and tell us why you like it and what you don’t like about it.

These options are not listed in any particular order as to quality, design, or favoritism. They will be listed by brand however. Just cause it’s at the top of the list, doesn’t mean it’s the best. The Descriptions listed are the manufacturer’s descriptions, and are should not be taken as opinions of the OP. I will NOT post pricing, as it is subject to change by the manufacturer.

The Boar is the new standard in chest rigs. Holds up to 8 M4 magazines with or without Magpuls internally. Integral mag pockets have open bottoms so sand, dirt or water drains immediately. Great for operations ranging from amphibious to mounted and urban. Detachable bib also available, and plate carrier is in the works! 20 PALS channels to mount your other pouches. Side-release buckles at all strap attachment points for easy on/off. If the Boar is too much chest rig, the Bush Boar has 2 fewer M4 pouches, and a total of 16 PALS channels.
One of the most innovative features, the integral mag pouches can be removed and swapped out for different configuration or weapon system. This makes the Boar the only chest rig that is truly a system and more versatile than any other rig on the market.

MACH MEDICAL ASSAULT CHEST HARNESS
The MACH or Special Forces Medical Sergeant/SOF Combat Medic/Combat Lifesaver Medical Assault Harness is equipped with two SOF-IMAP-B (See SOF-IMAP-B in S.O. Tech’s SOF Individual Medical Aid Pouch Series for complete details.)and two standard general purpose utility pouches.  The front of the harness features a Center Split design for rapid access by medics without ditching all the gear that causes a secondary load for extraction. The split was designed with a Velcro overlap to keep the maximum number of PALS slots in play. Attachment is achieved by three snaps and two-inch Velcro anchored at the top by a one-inch side lock buckle and at the bottom by a low profile Velcro snap tab forming a secure closure.  Mounted on the rear of the shoulder harness is a large pouch that accepts all standard hydration units.  Removable bib is sold separately


S.O.Tech developed the internal magazine slots of the Tomcat Chest Rigs to provide more carrying capacity on a compact chest mounted platform.  By moving the magazines to internal slots (patent pending), we freed up the front PALS webbing either for the attachment of more magazine / gear pouches or to provide a low profile chest rig with all the magazines laying flat against the body.  Ideal chest rig for those looking for maximum versatility.  Designed to carry M14, AK47 type mags, 2x M4 mags, radios or smoke. 2' webbing inside slot cradles magazine and is adjusted by hook & loop.


BLoCS Chest Harness Hellcat and Tomcat Split Front

The Need:
Designed in conjunction with the Army’s most elite units, BLoCS was constructed with durability, high mobility and versatility in mind. BLoCS is a universal system that can be figured out to suit any special operations mission. From direct action to vehicle patrols, even rural/ long range operations. BLoCS can be modified to suit the individual soldier’s preference or specific situation by simply adding or removing pouches. Our tactical pouch line utilizes 500 denier Cordura. All of our pouches are constructed from this material because we have found it to be approximately 40% lighter than the 1000 denier, yet suffering only a 10% reduction in durability. All items in our BLoCS line utilize S.O. Tech's Flex-Tab(patent pending)  Flex Tab is a simple, safe, and strong system that integrates 100% with all current issue PALS packs, pouches and vests. In addition, it allows for a faster and stronger pouch attachment than other designs. And with our products, they come with a lifetime warranty.
The Answer:
Compact chest harness w/ 6 internal M4 magazine slots, frees up the front PALS webbing to allow for the attachment of more mag/gear pouches or allows you to attain a lower profile when needing to go prone.  Magazines securely held in place by hook and loop, w/pull tab for quick access. Center split design utilizes a Velcro/snap closure for quick removal without giving up any attachment real estate.


S.O.Tech developed the internal magazine slots of the Hellcat Chest Rigs to provide more carrying capacity on a compact chest mounted platform.  By moving the magazines to internal slots (patent pending), we freed up the front PALS webbing either for the attachment of more magazine / gear pouches or to provide a low profile chest rig with all the magazines laying flat against the body.  Our inspirations came from a project with a Ranger Regiment medic who asked us to place magazine slots behind his medical pouch to give him more real estate.  We transferred this idea onto a chest harness and found the most effective way to carry rifle magazines into combat.~~The front face of the rig is covered with PALS webbing which accepts military issue pouches.  The back is mesh covered forming a map pocket.  Internal slots hold 6 GI M4/M16 magazines secured by a pistol holster type thumb break for quick extraction.  Thumb break has Velcro to accept standard magazines and magazines with Mag Pul or other extraction devices.  Shoulder straps are of wide two inch webbing for wear over body armor or alone, and affix with three large two inch side-lock buckles for quick extraction.  Removable bib is sold separately.


FCH FALCON CHEST HARNESS
S.O. Tech developed the internal magazine slot system (patent pending) to drop the six rifle magazines into the flat panel that makes up the body of the Falcon. The internal magazines slots lay the six magazines flat against the soldier’s waist, reducing high chest profile.  Allows soldiers to lay flat & closer to the ground.  Internal Hydration harness system on back allows additional pouches to be added to the back on PALS webbing sewn to outer face of hydration carrier. Allows more space to attach mission specific pouches.

Okay, So I finally took the plundge and bought a chest rig. I got it off of our EE forum. I picked up the DBT Low vis w/molle Chest rig.




The stock picture does not do this chest rig justice. If you look at the stock picture it looks like the chest rig goes from one under arm to the next. It doesn't. it goes from basically arm to arm. never reaches the underarm.




I am using it for ak magazines, and find that it fits the 20 round mags almost perfectly. I don't have any 30 round mags atm, so i can't really try those out. Each magazine pouch is topped off with the standard elastic bungee system. This is probably the only thing that I don't over care for, as the bungees are a tad short. I'll probably end up modifying them, as I will probably try to fit a glock 17 into one of the pouches, so it will need to be longer. I don't run anything above 20 round magazines, so for now the height of the bungess on the magazines are find. We'll see how they work out when i put the mag pulls on it.



The shoulder harness is your standard thin webbing, and is not padded. no biggie, as there are people that make padding for harnesses. Personally I don't find it overly irritating.

all in all, i give it a huge thumbs up. especially since I can easily conceal it under a jacket/pullover. Soon as i get a better camera and/or my other pouches attached, i'll post those. I'm adding a 9.25 inch long by 6 inch tall admin pouch to it, and a couple of pistol mag pouches.

How does this chest rig ride for you when loaded with mags and can youi draw the mags fairly easily?

I'm thinking about getting one for my KISS SHTF gear.   I just don't see the need for 12 mags on my chest, 2 on the belt, and one in the AR.   And I can add only pockets that I really need.

Now you done it!  I got chewed for being a cheap bastard looking at the 5.11 mini-chest rig not too long ago.  Some people have given them less than stellar construction reviews. Plus they only come in black or FDE.

You can pick up a Tactical Tailor Mini-MAV that is the same as the 5.11 rig, but built better for $37 shipped. And it comes in ARFCOM approved Multicam.

Nice worke mate.

Ok here are my 2 cent...

I hade a BHI Recon CR...I did not like it cause the shoulderstrap attachment to the front rig was very flopy and a PITA to shift around all the time.

Next was the Eagle SKD-universal-special.

The vertical elastic-straps on the mag-pouches were not tight enough to hold a second mag after the first one is drawen.
I also don´t like the pistol-mag-pouches on the M4-pouches.
One flap to secure 2 mags....
and when the flap is up I find it hard to grab the mags...even harder with gloves on..caue they stay so tight together that you have a hard time grabing them when in a hurry.
But for the price I have to say that you have a complete -carry all- CR wich you can trow in every car in your household.
Not to nice...but less $$$

Next time I will try a TT-MAV or a Eagle-SKD-all-molleCR and set the pouches up the way I want them.

Load it up or load it down it always stays tight and close to the body for even load distribution, either with IBA or without. The seperatly sewn pouches allow it to do bend for this reason. Better design means better load disribution.
