I have a wasatch rig that i use with plates but I need another rig to carry ar mags. I think I want a chest rig that will hold 4-6 mags and a couple of pistol mags. I want to avoid the weight of the plates and use this chest rig over soft body armor. I saw an ad for the SKD universal chest rig made by Eagle for $75 Does anyone have experience with this rig or any other they like....?? Thanks for any input.... |
I've got the Blackhawk copy of the Eagle chest harness. My only complaint is that I never did take the time to get it adjusted where it was really comfortable. There's no reason to put padded shoulder straps on it. They'd add unnecesary bulk and expense to an otherwise lightweight simple, rig. Besides, it doesn't have enough capacity to get heavy enough to need padding. |
My one and only "beef" with this rig is that the straps kinda dig into your neck, but. Thats about it. Of course, this was experienced durning a five day carbine course (where you are wearing the thing all day long). For SHTF/grab and go situations, you probably would not even notice. |
The trick to most all of that type of strap configuration is to load it up and get it adjusted they way you like. You can then sew the point that the straps cross (on your back) into place. You will have a more consistent ride that way and the straps will spend less time moving around and digging into your neck. |
