Load-bearing chest rigs for magazine, admin, and radio carriage. Modular placards, closed-front classics, kydex-retention rigs, and split-front designs.

Hard-kydex magazine retention in a chest rig format. Three rifle + two pistol/radio pouches on a Tegris hinge that flexes with the ribcage. The right pick when prone work and vehicle drills loosen elastic rigs.

A 13.6 oz laser-cut rig with a 12-column by 5-row MOLLE face and fully detachable shoulder and waist straps. Open MOLLE rather than a proprietary placard footprint, so any pouch you own mounts to it.

The SOF-influenced classic that defined the minimalist chest rig category. Carries four 5.56 mags, two pistol mags, two small radios, and includes a map pocket without breaking the low-profile silhouette.

A widely copied modular chest rig footprint. The Mk4 chassis scales from a $76 standalone rig to a plate-carrier placard without rebuying pouches; soft-loop interior accepts swappable mag, sub-gun, and admin inserts.

$78.84 for a Berry-compliant chest rig with First Spear 6/12 laminate construction. Reversible front panel (rig on one side, low-vis admin on the other) plus access to the broader 6/12 pouch ecosystem.

Polish-made Cordura 500D mini rig that ships complete with H-harness, mag pouches, GP pocket, and a MOLLE panel for $120-130. Carries 2 rifle mags plus 4 small pouches; the budget entry point into a real chest rig.

Crye's low-profile three-mag front flap, built on the slick front of the JPC and CPC. Three open-top M4 cells with shock-cord retention on the detachable flap interface shared by the AVS, JPC 2.0, and AirLite SPC.
