Haley added new chest rig setups 2 days ago.

[glee]

i love my D3CRM, been using it for 5 years. use it for hunting, fishing, hiking, even everyday carry, and range day. i love it.

[jonwebsterabbott]

Heat the inserts over a stove and put the mag in. I find the inserts help with reindexing dramatically.

[lexxb]

My haley with the thing 2 fits everything I need. But I will say that the lunar concept shoulder harness is a game changer. The most comfortable especially loaded.

[trid]

In regards to the difficulty in pulling out mags with the Haley chest rig I have had the same problem. Magpul mags are difficult to pull out however I use lancer or steal mags in mine and it is much better.

Wiseman HX Harmness will literally save your life and back can not be beat, surprised I don't see more people running it. It's the best of both worlds without any negative side.

You can heat up those esstac-kywi-like (can't remember if the ones from Haley are the esstac things or not) mag retainers and stretch them out a bit to make them slightly less clingy than the chick from Wedding Crashers. Kind of a pain but when I tried to just remove them entirely from the D3CM and run around, the mags were a little too loose for comfort. Also harder to re-index without those inserts

[sunnycat]

I been running a ready rig love it for its role

[user_unk]

Use a heat gun to loosen the plastic that holds the mag in the Haley chest rig. When warm enough, flex it enough that its snug so you won't lose your breath when pulling out your mag :)

Brave Castle gear is all great stuff. It’s built well and designed for performance. I own a bunch of their stuff including a BCR.


Customer service is excellent, with Renzo you’re not just another face in the crowd.

I just ordered the mk5 from spirtus I had the thing 2 I ended up getting giving it to a friend I have a plate carrier but its cheap and has heavy plates in it I do love spirtus products there well made

[MrTylero]

Get the esstac kywi inserts for the Haley. It’ll work better and it’ll be much less bulk

[ghostsix]

i got the haley micro rig and I can't stand it. I've used a heat gun for 2 hours and the inserts are still way too tight. Since then I started using a spiritus systems micro fight mkV, it's been awesome. So easy to scale up and down.

[atactical]

You should look into Shaw concept rigs

[jrod]

Can I get the link for those AR mags? They look dope.

[lastmanoffthefield]

Have you tried the INVRT Bandoleer AR15 Kit?

[alanglenn]

Beez Combat System makes a nice comberbun for the Haley Strategic chest rig. No more chicken straps.

[CryeBaby]

I love my brave castle it is my favorite chest rig by far they also sent me mine in the small😂

[Liquid_Faith]

Ditch the x and h harnesses. I found them uncomfortable. Got a "padded harness" from Beez combat systems. Have to add the 1" buckles to fit the Haley strategic rigs, but they'll do that on request. So much more comfortable. Plus built in drag handle and molle.

Where do I get one of those “Average Joe “ patch
