Looking for a lightweight, minimalistic chest rig

[AK47frizzle]

I am trying to find a chest rig I saw years ago where it was a rig slung from the shoulders and held by the belt which was split down the middle and had mag pouches on each side.

Other than that, currently looking for a rig that is just simply a mag holder at the sides or back, nothing to bulge up the front.

Would appreciate some findings.

ive got one in coyote and black on the combo deal a few years back, when on a silly discount so might be an idea to wait for some codes?

very light weight, even comes with fake plates...... used for shipping / packaging

@AK47frizzle Condor Ronin would be my best guess on what you saw http://www.military1st.co.uk/mcr7-001-condor-ronin-chest-rig-olive-drab.html

less than £100 for sure, maybe around 50

I think I almost found what i'm looking for actually: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/8fields-tactical-split-front-chest-harness-tan.htm#.Wrt-y4jwaUk

gonna find some more "split harness rigs" as I found that they are called.

 A lil too much padding for my taste i'm afraid.

This is almost perfect: http://www.uhkhost.net/tomatocart/products.php?63 but need to find a cheaper one

you could go for a molle belt and rig it up yourself?

that's how i have mine setup as i've enough frontal overhang without adding mag pouches on top.

something like a h-harness and a battle belt seems ideal for this.

^ Exactly what I was going to suggest.

I use a battle belt and molle harness, I have a triple m4 pouch, double pistol, dump pouch , utility pouch and my DTD Mk23 holster. It’s all I need. Admittedly, I use hi caps when defending for ease of use. But even then I have never played a day where I have used the 4 mags I take out with me.

Try searching for webbing rather than chest rig/vest

i have 6 of those quick draw mag holders, 3 on the right and 3 on the left, the right hand ones are a bit of a pain to get at (switching hands) so i tend to adjust my reloads based on urgency and leave the left hand ones for when i need to get shooting again quickly.

mine's a bit more crowded in terms of pouches, speedloaders/bipod/general tools etc but it's set up nice so the weight isn't that much of an issue.

Time to lock this thread up.

I have seen one of those in action @L3wisD, guy over at Airsoft plantation last time I was there was rocking it.

Believe it or not, hardly anyone noticed, and I only did because I was stuck in the same bottleneck.

seconded, you're not going to beat that any time soon

Your best bet would be something like this. It's not a chest rig, it's a PLCE Belt + Yoke combination. You can make them yourself but they're pretty cheap unless you start looking at MTP PIR setups.

Bulle mle rig ?

cheap as chips but great quality, only downside is the Molle doesn't go all round the back, but more load carrying is easily remedied by adding a small Molle pack to the rear yoke/H harness.

& very comfortable

There is a model I think might work for you.

Dutch army DPM tactical vest.

https://armyworld.iai-shop.com/product-eng-3726-Tactical-Vest-Dutch-Army-DPM-Woodland-Original-Demobil.html

25Zl is about £5.

You'll pay more in shipping than the product costs!

Last order I had with army world took 12 days, untracked. But it arrived in very good condition.

[Skara]

Tactical tailor mini mav, you just can't beat that..

It's also quite inexpensive coming at sub €50

8x4 molle to attach only what you need..

I have mine set up with a double m4 pouch and a utility, everything else is superfluous

Tackle put forward the best answer so far:

£30 and the quality is almost on a par with Warrior and most of the big boy expensive gear brands.  Makes 8fields/viper/mil-tec etc redundant.
