Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the GBRS MCR Light and MCR Heavy chest rigs?

The GBRS MCR Light features standard MOLLE spacing for typical pouches. The MCR Heavy, however, has wider spacing between MOLLE loops, specifically designed to accommodate larger caliber magazines and associated gear more comfortably.

What material is the GBRS MCR chest rig made from and what are its benefits?

The GBRS MCR is constructed from a thermoplastic laser-cut laminate, primarily TEGRIS. This material makes the rig lightweight, water-resistant, breathable, and provides a rigid yet flexible platform for attaching gear.

How does the GBRS MCR system ensure modularity and user customization?

The MCR system is designed to be highly modular, allowing users to attach a wide variety of their preferred pouches, including those from other manufacturers. It also supports interchangeable components like shoulder straps, preventing users from being locked into a single brand's ecosystem.

What are the 'eye joints' and 'W joints' on the GBRS MCR used for?

The 'eye joints' and 'W joints' are design features on the GBRS MCR that enhance the separation and rigidity between mounted magazines or pouches. They prevent flex and ensure a stable platform, with the two-row configuration also allowing for dangler attachments.
