Looking for a lightweight, minimalistic chest rig

I am trying to find a chest rig I saw years ago where it was a rig slung from the shoulders and held by the belt which was split down the middle and had mag pouches on each side.

 

Other than that, currently looking for a rig that is just simply a mag holder at the sides or back, nothing to bulge up the front.

 

Would appreciate some findings.

ive got one in coyote and black on the combo deal a few years back, when on a silly discount so might be an idea to wait for some codes?

very light weight, even comes with fake plates...... used for shipping / packaging :)

less than £100 for sure, maybe around 50

 

I think I almost found what i'm looking for actually: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/8fields-tactical-split-front-chest-harness-tan.htm#.Wrt-y4jwaUk

 

gonna find some more "split harness rigs" as I found that they are called.

@AK47frizzle Condor Ronin would be my best guess on what you saw http://www.military1st.co.uk/mcr7-001-condor-ronin-chest-rig-olive-drab.html

you could go for a molle belt and rig it up yourself?

 

that's how i have mine setup as i've enough frontal overhang without adding mag pouches on top.

 

something like a h-harness and a battle belt seems ideal for this.

^ Exactly what I was going to suggest.

 

I use a battle belt and molle harness, I have a triple m4 pouch, double pistol, dump pouch , utility pouch and my DTD Mk23 holster. It’s all I need. Admittedly, I use hi caps when defending for ease of use. But even then I have never played a day where I have used the 4 mags I take out with me.

i have 6 of those quick draw mag holders, 3 on the right and 3 on the left, the right hand ones are a bit of a pain to get at (switching hands) so i tend to adjust my reloads based on urgency and leave the left hand ones for when i need to get shooting again quickly.

 

mine's a bit more crowded in terms of pouches, speedloaders/bipod/general tools etc but it's set up nice so the weight isn't that much of an issue.

I have seen one of those in action @L3wisD, guy over at Airsoft plantation last time I was there was rocking it.

 

Believe it or not, hardly anyone noticed, and I only did because I was stuck in the same bottleneck.

Your best bet would be something like this. It's not a chest rig, it's a PLCE Belt + Yoke combination. You can make them yourself but they're pretty cheap unless you start looking at MTP PIR setups.

Bulle mle rig ?

cheap as chips but great quality, only downside is the Molle doesn't go all round the back, but more load carrying is easily remedied by adding a small Molle pack to the rear yoke/H harness.

& very comfortable :)

There is a model I think might work for you.

Dutch army DPM tactical vest.

https://armyworld.iai-shop.com/product-eng-3726-Tactical-Vest-Dutch-Army-DPM-Woodland-Original-Demobil.html

25Zl is about £5.

You'll pay more in shipping than the product costs!

Last order I had with army world took 12 days, untracked. But it arrived in very good condition.

Tactical tailor mini mav, you just can't beat that..

It's also quite inexpensive coming at sub €50

8x4 molle to attach only what you need..

I have mine set up with a double m4 pouch and a utility, everything else is superfluous

the rig you mention sounds like something similar to an LBT 1961 or Eagle MPCR. 

 

you can find repros of both of these. I know Flyye does a repro 1961 and so does Semapo and they are available in several patterns as well.

Do you, by any chance, have a pic please?
I'm looking for alternate carrying options for what may be my new loadout and this sounds like it might be a way forward...

Just FYI, I have a battle belt I no longer use. And some pouches...
