This review of the Haley Strategic DC3RX chest rig, based on five years of use in jungle and arctic environments as an infantryman, squad leader, and platoon sergeant, rates it a B to B+ overall. While it offers good retention for four rifle magazines, two handgun magazines, a flashlight, and a multi-tool, its universal pouches are too small for larger items like grenades or IFAKs. The reviewer suggests it's best suited for 'Minute Man' roles and recommends pairing it with a belt kit for additional capacity, noting that alternatives like the T-Rex Arms Quad Rig may offer superior standalone functionality.
Kevin Estela, a seasoned instructor, shares his favorite outdoor gear, emphasizing multi-functional items for hunting, fishing, and backpacking. He highlights a versatile signal panel from Team Eties, a Garmin GPS for navigation, a Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe for bushcraft, Auto Ear Pro for hearing protection, and his signature Montana Knife Company Fieldcraft Survival Knife. Estela also stresses the importance of maintaining knife edges with stropping pads and carrying a compass in a protective pouch.
The Spiritus Systems Frag Grenade Spud Pouch is designed for secure carriage of an M67 fragmentation grenade.
