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.
This video is a walk through, talk through about Mayflower's (Now Velocity Systems) Multi- Purpose Patrol Vest. This vest is very light weight and innovative with lots of great features.
Description from the Velocity Systems site,
The Mayflower Multi-Purpose Patrol Vest is designed for those patrolling situations where armor is not needed. It has a front center zip for ease of doffing and donning and a mesh back panel sized for a 3-litre water bladder. The vest is adjustable for height as well as girth via ITW G-Hooks and shock cord. The magazine pouches are designed to carry up to eight M4 type magazines or four 7.62x51 magazines. Additionally two of the M4 magazine pouches feature small GP pockets on the front sized for a compass, GPS or similar sized items. The side GP pouches are sized to carry 32 oz Nalgene bottles or smaller items and have PALS webbing on the front and sides for the attachment of additional pouches. The harness and back panel feature an abundance of one-wrap VELCRO® Brand for cable management. All materials and workmanship are 100% made in the USA.
