so i again acquired more gear from friends, a programmable, 4/5w, 400-480 MHz UHF radio, with 4 out of 5 years left on a transferable FCC license. 60 bones. what kind of radios do you guys use? FRS/ GMRS, UHF/VHF? i also now have a chart showing specific freq's corresponding to FRS and GMRS channels too. man i'm just getting deals left and right! it's just too bad i am constantly on orders or training so i rarely get to use any of it!

O yea i also got a sweet tan chest rig while i was in topeka for 20 bucks... if anyone goes up there its a place called einsteins on sw 10th st by the hospital. wicked cheap gear in tan, OD, marpat, bdu, and acu. i didnt see any multicam but he said theyre always gettin new gear in
its an almost brand new one identical to this one in tan:

the tan one in the pic is what I have

how do you like it?mine is just missing the bib in the middle

Oh how do you two like it? I was trying one of these on two days ago and am thinking about rocking it at Op Ok Invasion. Mine are just to big and bulky.

Kevin, PM Laughing Jackal or Flash about the radio stuff, they should be able to help you.

Chest Rig: I have the OD version and I love it! When mine falls apart I'll buy another!
PROS
Integrated mag pouches conserves space and is lower profile.
The carrier for your hydration is not huge, which allows your back to get more air flow.
Plenty of MOLLE strips to attach additional pouches
Rugged
Able to maneuver/Not confining
Much more breathable than the fuller rigs
Inexpensive! $20 is a great buy!

CONS
Velcro in the center SUCKS!! However, this is easily fixed. I ripped/cut the velcro out and use the snaps instead. That's it, that's my only bitch about this rig.

LT

well if mine had the bib it would be a lot better, but even without it its still super comfortable...

I took mine off. I really wasn't using it for anything and it allows for better air flow. If it sat tighter against the chest I would have attached a STRIKE holster to it for a pistol. So I just took it off. I still have it and plan to modify it to cinch up more securely to eventually do a holster on it, but haven't yet.

LT

well that's good news than, maybe i just got a lucky purchase then... Thanks LT! mine is a little loose on me as well so i thought of cutting off the sinch buckles on the back and sewing it together as 1 piece

Where did you get yours LT? I didn't realize you had the same one cause I knew yours buckled so I thought it was a different one. Lol

The velcro is really the only con to that rig. I am planning on taking mine to a seamtress and having a heavy duty zipper installed. Tech has a zipper installed and I believe he loves it.

I got it from Cheaperthandirt.com, but that was when it was $30. Now they are $40, so Kevin actually got a hell of a deal!!!



I think because I have modified it so much, attached all kinds of shit to it, painted it, etc... It only has one buckle and three snaps.


Kevin, instead of cutting out the only adjustment you have for that rig, you may consider this. When my snaps fail, I'll be taking it into my tactical tailor to have a heavy duty zipper put in as well.
