Matrix Lightweight Rifle Chest Rig
(Color: Black)

"It is very good.

The straps aren't super thick and robust but they're enough to not look or feel costume-y. I haven't played any games with it but I can tell that they are durable enough to last.

The fabric of the pouches is good, it is thick and stiff enough for me.

It fits me well. I'm 5'7 and on the skinny side at about 120 or so pounds, and the pouches span from the middle of my left side to the middle of my right, which is just perfect. For those of you looking for more precise measurements, the pouch strip is 18" in length and 7" in height. The straps extend pretty far but are completely adjustable for the small folk like myself, with handy velcro to fold up and bind the extra length neatly. I haven't measured it fully extended, but if this doesn't fit you, you probably won't find anything else that does.

It holds six standard M4 magazines perfectly, and the elastic cords that secure them can be retied to fit larger mags or to secure smaller ones. I have one particularly long magazine that fits as well, so it't not impossible for me to imagine one using this for AK magazines.

The only criticisms I have are that the ends of the elastic cords, when tightened, can look messy, and that the strap that goes behind your neck can be a little irritating. Neither problem is a big deal at all, the cords can be cut to size or tied off, and the strap shouldn't be noticeable if you're wearing something over your t-shirt.

The rig itself is really good. Considering the low price, it is amazing. I bought it because I was on a budget and didn't want to spend over $100 on a few fabric pouches. I'm glad I did, this will be perfect.

"8 year vet of the Marine Infantry forces here to tell you newbs what's up with this rig. Long of the short- it's not bad.
the longer over the short...
I got this thing and decided I would work in it- IE do gardening work while wearing it with full AR mags in it. that's only 6-ish pounds, but the way it carries that six pounds is actually pretty nice. Doping some run tests proved to me that this rig- while limited in scope- is actually punching above it's weight class to a degree.
Lemme splain.
First off, it only carries six mags. Nothing else. to some that would be a HUGE downside. To the guy who just wants a stow and go rig, that's actually a benefit. It's low bulk and mass makes for an easily carried system that can be put into a bag, or the glove box. It really gets that small when it's full up. For airsofting, this is likely about as much as you'll ever need (if you practice proper trigger discipline and fire control- I see you person who just holds the trigger down and hopes you get a hit). Six high cap magazines would net you something like 1800 BBs, and in a package that weighs less than 5 pounds.
The shoulder straps are very flat which won't effect getting your gun in your shoulder. Not having PALS webbing, you're not going to load it with stuff you don't need (like Skittles, chewing gum, or other pogey bait). And being a chest rig, you can put a camel back on and have all the water you're gonna need for that two hour skirmish.
the big downsides for me- I prefer rigs that have cross back straps and not the style this one has. It just feels weird (though I didn't knock off a star for that). The issue that got a star removed was all the VELCRO! It's entirely unnecessary, and took like twenty minutes to carefully cut off. After it was removed though, the camo scheme worked well with my Multicam.
If you want to use this for a SHTF bag for hauling mags, you may want to look elsewhere. the dyes in the fabric glow under IR like they're radioactive. But for airsofting and LARPing, this is a surprisingly good little rig for the price.
