Mega chest rig/vest/RACK/LBE thread. Post all queries here.

Did anyone notice that diamondback have dramatically lowered their prices on their gen 1 Predator vests? Now around the $ 200 mark. That's even cheaper than airsoft clones..

As for the topic-starter: this is the same vest our green berets are using so you might get away with wearing it (with your issued soft armour and plates)..

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be placing an order on Monday.

If you want a sweaty, as worn in A'Stan CB predator vest, let me know. No armor, just the carrier, I can't remember the size (probably XL). I'll be home in a few weeks.

Yes it will. We used to use them for OPFOR gear, as a Sgt had about a dozen of them from his gunstore.

From the looks of 'em, they look like they might also fit the old 15 rounders for the M1 Carbine.

I while ago i bought this chestrig/vest from Arktis

It's realy a nice vest and chestrig at the same time. You get it on as a vest but all the ready to use pouches are located as a chestrig. It's fully adjustable and i can noticed it is made to fit over a armor vest.
The vest itself consist over 3 parts, the yoke, the left and the right side.
Another nice thing about this vest is that you can drop it down and that all the weight is distributed over the hips, and when you need to wear a bergen, you can raise it up and you can use the hip strap of the bergen.
The only thing that i dislike is that i can only take 6 Diemaco 30rnd magazines. But you can carry 2 200rnd minimi boxes on the other hand..
Its a nice vest, good price but it would be nice if i could carry more magazines in it.

Arktis ammo pouches can hold 4 STANAG magazines like the M-16 ones. I have an Arktis Advanced Chest Rig and I've tried it

[thesystem]

The problem is, in de dutch army we dont have the STANAG magazines but we got some plastics. They are from Diemaco, our gun manufacturer. THey are a bit wider so only 3 will fit in. But yeah, dutch governments choise to buy those mags

[ZoneOne]

Looks like a interesting rig. Are there any other companys that make one similiar to it?

BDS makes a bunch of different rig types, this one the "simple stacker" is pretty similar.

Does not hold soft inserts or plates.

[dacanadianbomb]

With all the options added in, its more expensive than it looks at first glance.

[DocHyde]

Does anyone know which vest this is? I know it's IDF, but it's not Hagor or Marom Dolphin. And if you do, does anyone know where to get one?

[blacksheep]

Hey guys,

can any one tell me something about the qualitiy of the standart issued RACK from the army.

I first want to buy myself a paraclete rack but + shipping and custom it would be to expensive.

If any one had an old one he/she could pm me

A phrase I learned and took to real quick sufices here: "K.I.S.S."-Keep It Simple Stupid.

Some time ago i got this vest from a supplier of military gear to the Malaysian armed forces. He didn't know much about it, aside from the fact that i that it was Indonesian and it was a plate carrier, plates inserted via two zips on the front of the vest, and had a tag which read TNI 2006.506

Months of attempted research came up with nothing, and i have yet to have seen a single Indonesian soldier wearing this vest.

Thx in advance

Do you brits use the hip-pad for the PLCE webbing and is it any good? I'm issued something similar to PLCE and thinking about getting a UK hip-pad.
