    I'll do a review and pics when it's all here and together. I like the chest rig so far, seems well made. I haven't had time to get it out yet though.

    Currently I have a Martz chest rig for the past 3 years, a 2 piece MAV before that, and LBE before that.

    It got here today. But I haven't had the time to open the box yet. Standby.

    Scout, after you check it out and look over the workmanship and the materials, let us know please. Take some pics of the stitching and materials used up close. I am curious as to where it is made. Is it cordura or polyester? How is the stitching, webbing and binding? Thanks.

    IIRC, at the time at least, it was not produced in the UK.
    Workmanship was not up to par with US manufacturers, and was only suitable for training.
    Maybe things have changed.
    Good to know.

    I'll post pics soon. Stitching looks good and tight on first glance. It's Cordura, with multi cam webbing that's trademark stamped. The inside of it is a mesh that's lined with some kind of, almost gel padding. Sorry, haven't slept in two days so I'm a little mushy. I think it's made in the UK, can't find anything yet indicating where from. Overall, nice quality, a little stiffer/heavier than Tactical Tailor, but nice. I hunk this will workout well once it's broken in. All the MOLLE is consistent spacing and stitching.

    Here's the pics. Nice tight stitching, good webbing, a zipper/Velcro opening on the right front to take it on and off easier. Here's a pic of the inside with the padding I can't figure out. Stiff but comfortable, should be better once I break it in. Any specific questions?

    To judge quality, the important areas to check:
    Corners
    Points where webbing is attached to the main piece
    Velcro
    The mouth and bottom of mag pouches
    Tightness of pouches at capacity
    Position of adjustment features
    Stitching at load bearing points
    Fabric manufacturer/type
    Pattern licensed?
    Fastener type/quality

    Webbing is attached evenly, tight stitches, and reinforced
    Fasteners are ITW
    Stitching at load bearing is boxed and reinforced
    Fabric looks to be 500d or 1000d nylon
    Webbing shows multicam trademark
    Adjustment features are positioned ok. Wish there was more room in the straps and shoulders
    Velcro is multicam printed
    Pouches are mine. Zulu tac mag pouches, rest are TT Fight Light

    How can I tell if the pattern is licensed?

    Why are you stressing me, man?! 😜

    I wasn't criticizing you, just giving the rundown on what I look for.
