Our analysis continues with the anterior part of the Chest Rigg by Tac Gear. As previously mentioned, its construction is totally symmetrical, meaning that an analysis of one side allows for a global vision of the piece. We begin by mentioning the front four pockets that are sufficiently large enough to hold two G36 canisters, allowing for a total capacity of eight canisters. These pockets offer two options for closure, one Velcro option (9) and, since opening Velcro can be very noisy, a silencer allows for a quieter quick-closure option (10) that avoids unnecessary noises at night. The bottom allows for aeration and water drainage in case of rain.

Immediately behind the pockets, on the broadside, we find the largest pocket, ideal for carrying complementary material, food, anti-gas mask, etc. This pocket’s closure is also Velcro and allows for a silencer option (11). As can be seen, these large pockets, found on both sides offer large cargo capacity. In case of using the Velcro silencer, we then rely on a quick, external click-closure (12) of the pocket that is longitudinally and transversally (14) adjustable in order to keep the pocket’s contents from bouncing around. On these large pockets we also find two small, external pockets, fastened by Velcro, that are ideal for carrying a compass or similar accessory (13).

Above the front four pockets we find various gadgets and accessories whose possibilities for use are infinite: a holster (15) with Velcro closure, an accessory hook (16) for compass, grenades, smoke bombs, etc., and the height adjustment (17) which also offers quick release of all cargo with a click.

This piece holds more surprises still. Both sides have a more discrete pocket perfect for maps, documents, etc., that can still hold a gun if necessary, and are closed by way of YKK zipper. The item’s customizable nature allows for easy adaptation to your own cargo necessities.

Whatever valuable piece of similar equipment must have one major characteristic—just like a computer, the capacity for expansion. Along these lines, the CRS’ expandability is highly impressive. On the front superior section, there are two extensions for possible pockets (for radio, etc.). As can be seen, the anchoring system is not like the typical American Molle, but rather the German, four-point system.

When considering the ability to transport more cargo, the CRS offers one more surprise in a couple of easily-unfastened, lateral flaps equipped with the aforementioned German anchoring system. These are ideal for adding an anti-gas mask bag, a first aid kit, a map case, etc., thereby multiplying any possible combinations. As can be seen in the picture of the inside of the item, these flaps are attached to the net-like fabric of the CRS and are fixed in place by Velcro when not in use; a silencer does away with noises when the flaps are in use.

Finally, we must mention the frontal closure system which has three, adjustable, quick closures: two at abdomen’s height and the third a chest height. As we have seen, the entire item is easily-adjustable, with straps and adjustments that allow for hasty alterations.

In conclusion, for an item that costs aprox. 100 €, it offers all the possibilities that a professional would expect. It’s a piece of equipment that we recommend for professionals, or Airsoft teams like us, that are focused on reconnaissance and the ability to carry with them backpacks and a wide array .
