Matrix Tactical Systems Modular Chest Rig w/ Full Pouch Set (Color: ACU)

"This is a great price for a chest rig. The entire thing is coupled with an admin pouch, three M4 pouches and two accessory pouches. The build quality is pretty decent, and it even has an included hydration carrier! (Doesn't come with a bladder) I would say this is one of the better cheaper alternatives to a rig that comes with this many pouches already. Has great camo selection, and holds up very nicely. Would recommend.

Pros:
Multiple pouches included, hydration carrier included, pretty good build quality.

Cons:
Shoulder straps are somewhat stiff, need to break in.

"I will say, I'm a really skinny dude: 158lbs and 6 feet tall and this seems like it's built for a bigger guy even when tightened down but I'm new to these rigs and I'm probably missing a strap that I can tighten further. It's got the hydration pack built in, doesn't feel bulky on me and I was able to mount my sling, camel pack, and all my mags, accessories without any issues. Definitely a good bang for the buck and shouldn't be overlooked.

"This chest rig appears to be nearly identical to those used in the film Lone Survivor. While not entirely identical to chest rigs used by Seal Team 10 in real life, it is very close to one worn by Mathew Axelson. it is based on the RRV.
The vest is sturdily constructed, I've had mine for about five years in 2019 and it shows very minimal signs of wear, mostly around the elastic components. It holds six STANAGs easily, although I recommend rearranging the MOLLE straps as the pouches are not securely attached from the factory and like to fall off if not attached properly. Unfortunately the side pouches (based on Eagle Industries' USMC canteen pouch) do not hold 1qt canteens, although there is plenty of room on the MOLLE panel if they are removed. I used the space for an IFAK and radio equipment. The hydration carrier does inhibit the lower strap from tightening completely but is easily removed.
