Platatac Jungle Warfare chest rig.





The Platatac Jungle Warfare chest rig with Chicom Y harness.

I have had the JW rig for a while now and really like it. It works well under a pack. Decent amount of capacity without going overboard and the split front feature is nice.

MC Tropic looks cool but is too dark for most environments. Its probably good in the wet season but I'm not sure about the dry.

Original SOE AK/ M4 Chest Rig.

 

The Original SOE AK/ M4 chest rig is a classic design with some interesting features. I got this in 2012 and like it a lot although it is a bit heavy for what it is. The base rig can carry 8x mags, 2x radios and maps+ admin items. You can then add pouches as you need them.

Helikon Tex Chicom Rig

 



I recently picked up one of the new Helikon Tex Chicom rigs. Its a nice update of a classic, that has a lot of cool features. I have a mix of Helikon and TT pouches on it.

I did a review of it here, https://youtu.be/3urvktHRssc

Easily holds 5x mags, LRF, GPS and survival gear.

Helikon Tex Training Mini Rig upgrade

 




I am a big fan of the Helikon Tex TMR. I mostly use it with .308 AICS mags. Its a great rig but the four pistol mag pouches are excessive for me so I added a utility pouch. This is an easy mod that doesn't damage the rig.

Heres a video on how to do it,
