I wouldn’t say we’re in the chest rig era again. It’s more like people realized that both chest rigs and plate carriers have their place and it’s good to have both.

[jollyroger]

That intro about put Garand Thumb to shame. Awesome

[kurt]

Spiritus System and Velocity chest rigs is what I have.

Chest Rigs are great for low threat contact while rucking around. Especially in the mountains.

[MeatyMte]

Honestly been loving the Pattern 84 Kommandostore put out, all that SADF goodness with some molle on the sides for anything I want and 6 mags on my chest. Comfy to boot.

[knewsome]

Big fan. Lighting looks much better this cast. Nice work with the intro!

[deangullberry]

I'm old, and my gear is too. Rock the LBE and the chest rig....

[barcafan]

I ran a Ferro Concepts chesty wide rig at Gunsite for a week long carbine courses….absolutely worth every penny. 5 Stars highly recommended.

[quentinwhite]

Thank you for the solid production quality and great content!

Best B&H intro to date, hands down. Keep it up brothers.

[charlesl]

Got a onward research rig that I threw a helicon Tex Fanny pack on as a dangler med pouch and an old saw pouch as a gp pouch. Just need a spud pouch for water/ smoke and y’all’s GMP for the back. Keep it up guys, great content.

[KipKiligan]

You guys should try the Platatac Peacekeeper jungle rig. The peacekeeper has always been a super popular rig with guys outside of Australia but this split rig from them is 🔥

[samhinnant]

Running yals Ghost Chest Rig with the Thing 2. Absolutely love it!

[codycarlton]

My rigs so far:
Haley micro with spiritus expander wings and OR SIMP. (Primarily a plate carrier rig. Did use in a 3 gun and it was awesome)

OR recce rig with defense mechanisms mag and radio side kick, spiritus spud pouch for x2 mags giving me 11 mags on the rig. Then Amazon mystery meat dangler and small admin pouch (not made of money 😂) comfy esp with a ruck and lots of mags.

Then finally I’m running the invert with all the trimmings for my backpack .300 blk pdw setup. Awesome rig for traveling and keeping a low profile.

Thinking about adding a ghost rig to my collection 🤣

[misfitlife]

Can’t wait for the video on the ghost rig excited to learn more about it waiting for m81 to come back in stock

[charlesreeves]

Nothing like an ol 240 to regain the initiative. Great video fellas.

[fragnshrapnels]

I like the frizzled boonie hat. What I run is a belt setup with suspenders and a small chest rig for admin stuff and so.

[galamonkey]

I’ve used and owned some different chest rigs. Just bought some Alice gear and and have been working with a belt and suspender setup and it’s still a contender.

[Badger.]

One thing a few of us do while conducting EP work is wear a covert ballistic vest under a button up, With a chest rig nearby or in a bag with a collapsible rifle or SBR, that way if the situation turns from covert to overt. we don't need to try to throw on a vest while still having armor.

[davidhartley]

Newb talking here 😂
I have been utilizing the Viktos micro rig at the "flat range" with great enjoyment. The magnetic buckles are awesome ❤️

[quasimojo]

Great intro and great content! More, more, more!
