Details
The core of the CHICOM chest rig features a central platform with a triple pouch, primarily designed for carrying AR15(M4)/AK magazines, although it can accommodate anything that fits inside. This central platform can be easily expanded with additional compatible equipment, as the rig is equipped with MOLLE/PALS standard modular webbing on its sides and shoulder straps, allowing attachment of various pouches and other accessories.
At the back of the chest rig, there is a special zippered panel for attaching dangler pouches or belly pouches like Dangler Pouch. The central panel can be opened, and the flat inner pocket provides a secure storage space for documents. The pocket can also accommodate INSERT-type pouches.
The H-shaped shoulder harness can be easily adjusted with plastic buckles, and there is a small zippered panel on the back allowing attachment of VELCRO identification patches. The chest rig can be detached and attached to plate carriers as needed or combined with backpacks.
