Chest rigs for the taller player

[RossyM1]

N00b poster here just starting to get into the game. I am 6'8 and have been looking at getting some webbing or a chest rig. I've been playing around with some old webbing and can't get it to sit around my waist and is instead riding my midriff. Been looking at 8fields chest rigs as they are "one size fits all" but was wondering what taller players or in general make of them? Thanks

8 fields do one size fits all people who are 5'10" and 75Kg.

Rather than looking for a plate carrier body armour type rig look into a proper chest rig, RRVs and LBT 1961 style chest rigs have a LOT of adjustment in them.

Thanks man. Was fairly certain they would be unforgiving. Will look into your recommendations.

I found the Ronin Chest Rig to be inexpensive, quick to get on and off and spreads any load well.

Seems possibly a daft question but surely if you're looking at 'chest' rigs, why are you trying to get it to sit on your waist? A chest rig is designed as described, to sit higher, is on or around the chest area, if you are looking for something to sit around your waist then a belt rig on an H harness is maybe what you're after?
