Frequently Asked Questions

What are the core components needed to set up a Spiritus Systems chest rig?

To set up a Spiritus Systems chest rig, you will need the chassis itself (like the Mark V or Mark IV), a magazine insert tailored to your weapon system, shoulder straps (such as Fat Straps or Skinny Straps), and a back strap for secure attachment.

What is the main difference between the Spiritus Systems Mark V and Mark IV chest rigs?

The primary difference is that the Mark V chassis features a MOLLE front panel, allowing for the attachment of various MOLLE-compatible pouches. The Mark IV, however, comes with a predefined front pouch that utilizes a flap system.

How does Spiritus Systems promote training commonality between chest rigs and plate carriers?

Spiritus Systems allows their chest rig chassis to be quickly detached from straps and attached as a front placard to compatible plate carriers. This ensures that magazine placement and access remain consistent, building muscle memory across different gear setups.

Can I add extra storage to a Spiritus Systems chest rig?

Yes, Spiritus Systems offers several optional pouches like the CCS pouch, Nalgene holder, Gisto pouch, and Sack pouch that can be attached to the chest rig. Additionally, the 'Thing 2' accessory provides MOLLE expansion for even more customization.
