Says used. You just got, as in ordered or received?
Great find nonetheless. Thank you. |

Does it come with the shoulder straps?

I just received mine today, and it was brand new. The clip-on shoulder harness assemly was stashed inside the center pocket.
Naturally, what you get might, in fact, be used--or not. Even if used, it's still a bargain, even if one has to either build/sew or buy a shoulder harness. Repeat disclaimer: no financial interest. |

Isn't this the same thing that the army is issuing now? If so, not a fan. Good price, I suppose, but I'll pass.

That said, the main portion of the rig seems, at least s far as I can see, very similar to the USMC offering by USRO. The original RACK was quite different, as it had no internal pockets. |

Its fairly wide, its designed to have 4 clips attach to your armor (IOTV gen 2) 2 for the shoulder straps and 1 on each side towards the rear of where your side plates would be. These female buckles on your vest are what the TAP would plug into and how its designed to be used with armor. This allows you to have armor on but not real gear like ammo or an IFAK but you can quickly attach it without your buddy helping you. The second option is to attach the webbing it comes with to the panel itself and use it as a stand alone chest rig. Not a bad design at all but it is a big bitch.

This might turn into a great chest rig for hand out when SHTF. I've got plenty of friends that have rifles, but none really buy into the 'gear' concept. Cheap enough option to keep around to help out a friend. Are there any harnesses from SKD that will work with these if they turn out to not have shoulder straps? |

I have one in MC and it works well enough. It also integrates well with the SPCS and the IOTV. They aren't quite as "polished" or feature laden as some of the aftermarket chest rigs but it does the job. I believe the USMC is very similar (at least it looks like it). |

I just got mine I ordered. I'm set for gear but figured at that price it was a good deal for a backup rig.
It is definitely used but it looks like light use and is in pretty good shape overall. Mine is missing the clip-on shoulder harness though. Overall, I'd say not a bad buy for $25 shipped, especially if you luck out and get the harness with it.
raf, could you post a picture of the clip-on shoulder harness? Since mine didn't come with one and I'd like to see what the supplied one looks like so I can hunt down a replacement. |

Basically, on the back, there is a horizontal length of 1" webbing with adjustable QD buckles that mate to the buckles on either side of the rig. Centered on the horizontal webbing is an inverted "Y" of 1" webbing, which travels up the user's back to a small "platform" of webbing where the two wide shoulder straps are sewn, along with an adjustment buckle to which the stem of the inverted "Y" is affixed. Think of an old ALICE rig; the one with a pistol belt as the horizontal member, and the rear of the "Y" harness connected to the pistol belt, while viewed from the rear, and you have it. The front of the harness is two lengths of 1" webbing with adjustable buckles that mate to the buckles on the front of the rig, and these 1" sections of webbing are sewn to two wider, over-the-shoulder strips of webbing. |

Cheap enough option to keep around to help out a friend. Are there any harnesses from SKD that will work with these if they turn out to not have shoulder straps? If you took the TT harness, and added a 1" wide horizontal strap with appropriate QD buckles to the rear of the rig itself, then all you would have to do is affix the vertical rear straps of the TT harness to two appropriate locations on the horizontal rear strap. This could be done by adding two short 1" wide straps to the rear horizontal strap, securing the ends of each short strap with tri-glide buckles, then backthreading the loose ends of the short straps back through the tri-glides, thus locking the short straps in place. This would give the user two moveable anchor points for the rear vertical straps of the TT harness, and not involve sewing at all. You will also have to add appropriate 1" QD buckles to front vertical straps of TT harness, and these buckles would attach to matching buckles on front of the rig itself. Straps/webbing available at strapworks.com (use retailmenot.com to find arfcom discount code), and buckles available at supplycaptain.com in their ITW/NEXUS section. This would work with any harness that was similar to the TT unit linked above, and might even work with old ALICE nylon "H" harnesses, once the metal hooks were removed and QD buckles installed on the front of the harness. You'd need two tri-glide buckles for the rear straps of the "H" harness also. So yes, if your rig does not come with a harness, the TT harness, or something similar could be made to work for a few extra bucks and a little time--and no sewing. |

I didn't see any links to SDK but they were actually the first place I checked. I saw the ones they have but I don't think any of them will work. Two of the ones I saw it looks like the one end uses velcro and the other end uses male ends on the clips instead of the female this rig would need. The other one I saw uses male on one end and female on the other. I suppose the PIG H-Harness would be the best candidate to convert to work with this rig assuming the female buckle ends are the proper width. I'm going to try hitting up a local surplus store (an honest to goodness surplus store, not an airsoft reseller) this weekend to see if they have any of these harnesses kicking around. |

The sewn-in front and rear buckles on the rig itself are the 1" type, and changing them to a wider type might be problematic. I believe some of the relevant buckles on the PIG harness linked above are wider than 1", and so there might be compatibility issues. |

At that point you're better off making one from scratch like you suggested. Plus StrapWorks has a Multicam style pattern you can get.
