Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main advantages of using a split rig chest rig?

Split rigs offer superior ventilation in hot climates, reducing heat stress. They also allow for greater comfort in the prone position by not having gear directly on the chest, and can be unbuckled to lay flatter on the ground for better concealment or stability.

How should tourniquets be positioned on a chest rig for optimal accessibility?

Tourniquets should be mounted inboard of magazine pouches, accessible with either hand. This placement ensures they don't impede magazine draws, get caught when going prone, or cause discomfort while maintaining immediate access in a medical emergency.

What is the benefit of an integrated chest rig, plate carrier, and battle belt system?

An integrated system provides versatility, allowing you to scale your loadout up or down based on the mission. This approach emphasizes 'doing more with less,' enabling you to adapt to various scenarios with a core set of adaptable gear rather than multiple specialized kits.

Which H-harness is recommended for individuals of average stature?

For individuals around 5'9" to 5'10", the T-Rex Arms H harness is recommended. It's designed to bring gear higher on the torso, preventing interference with belt-line equipment like holsters and magazine pouches, which is a common issue with other designs.
