Condor MCR6-498 Tactical Chest Rig
This product was recommended by Samuel David from Pooleum
Made out of a thick cordura material with solid stitching and buckles that looks like they’ll hold up well. And it gets better: the Condor tactical chest vest can hold up to six magazines plus it fit close to the body real good. The long straps with velcro ends provide customization and additional comfort. There are hooks for added gear plus zippered compartment for documents and such too that helps to keep things organized and safe. Lightweight, well thought out, well put together, and a great value considering its price. The Condor vest is therefore ideal for rough tactical drills.
Bought a chest rig for a non-armored opposition withinside the nice and cozy Arizona Desert. Did some dry run ahead of the event, certain enough, while the opposition came, the rig did now not allow me down. Whether prone, crawling, or moving, the rig stayed in a tremendous position, suitable retention on magazines, zilch moved round as soon as the entirety become adjusted correctly.
