The Chest Rig Tactical Vest is a lightweight tactical waistcoat that is used primarily to carry ordnance, including magazines, knives, torches and other equipment worth keeping on hand. The Chest Rig Tactical Vest is built around a large front panel with pockets and harnesses in an X or H configuration.
The Chest Rig type tactical waistcoat works very well for carrying equipment in areas with high temperatures or during hot weather. Thanks to its characteristic design, it leaves the back free, which significantly improves air circulation. The first Chest Rig waistcoats were used by Viet Cong and North Vietnamese army soldiers during the Vietnam War. It is worth remembering that the Chest Rig offers good ventilation, but at the expense of lower protective properties.
The MOLLE trouser system is very often present in Chest Rig waistcoats, an example model is the Guardian Chest Rig tactical waistcoat by Helikon-Tex. Thanks to the MOLLE system, the waistcoat can be easily equipped with additional pockets or pouches. Some models of Chest Rig waistcoats are modular - the user arranges the arrangement of pockets himself, while in other models this arrangement is imposed by the manufacturer. If you are looking for a lightweight waistcoat for work, a survival trip or an airsoft game, in MILITARY.EU you will find a wide range of Chest Rig tactical waistcoats.
