So I tacked each individual pouch down in between which I think works much better. The PALS grid is still totally usable. You can link between pouches without any problem.

Here's the "X" panel and hydro pouch.

And then I experimented with kydex inserts. These give you great tension with the shock cord prepped to the side for some fast re-loads.

I really really like this setup with the padded upper rear (x-harness type?)

Are you saying the mag pouches are or are not removable? Is this available with the x-harness type upper rear and hydration pouch and four mags up front with pals on either side? price?

Lookin' good Derek. I'm kinda liking that two-tone thing.

SHZ:

The mag pouches are sewn in. The back wall of the pouch is the rig base.

Yeah, the "X" panel is an option on the Minuteman (like you see here), and std on the Swampfox, like Hawkeye's rig.

A 4-mag Minuteman rig, with kydex inserts, shock cord pull tabs, and "X" panel would be $135.00 plus shipping. I'm not making any more hydro pouches (or any other pouches) right now due to my backlog. If it comes up that they're also hard to get, I'll look at making a batch later.

Diz, Can this be had in plain molle so I can add my own pouches? Ranger or Foilage green? I would still want access to my belt with pouches, can I get this high enough on my chest to do that?

Does the minuteman look the same from the rear as the alley cat?

Mark:

I can do that no prob. We'll talk.

WRM:

The rig Derek is showing is actually a Swampfox, although he can call it anything he wants!

The way you can tell them apart is the Swampfox will always have a lumbar panel; the Minuteman will always be open in the back. Just about every other feature is interchangeable.
