Chest Rig 101- Introduction to the Art of the Chest Rig

**officerX** · 04-02-15, 23:42

I want to take a carbine course and would like some sort of chest rig for it. I'd like some suggestions from the pros for a no-frills CR just for mags and the essentials. Thanks.

I think the best bang for your buck is the SKD-Eagle Redux. But, if you want it to interface with a PC, Mayflower is very highly recommended.

I don't plan on needing a PC as of now. I'll check that out, thanks.

Edit - I'm not finding that one. Do you have a link? Thanks.

For about $60 less their discontinued 10-Speed rig can still be found at retailers.

Sorry, when I wrote my earlier post I couldn't remember what it was called.

They really upped the price though. The Eagle version was like $80, then they made this which started at like $95 or $99. Now its $125...

On SKD's site in their scrolling banner it does show a "rereleased" UCR for $99. When you click on it, it takes you to the UCR for $125. I have a UCR I think it a quality piece of equipment. I grabbed some double esstac kywi wedges for the two open top pouches. I think they were a good addition, but I don't think they offer the doubles anymore.

I'm emailing them now about that. Thanks.

Somebody must have made a mistake. It's not on the scrolling banner anymore. It's still worth it at $125 though.

ETA:
They have a black and multicam in the demo section for $79.
