Platatac Jungle Warfare chest rig.
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
Pouches Left - Right;
TT small utility pouch,
TT GPS/ strobe pouch,
Helikon competition 2x mag insert,
Helikon SERE pouch,
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.
