Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the Spiritus Systems Thing 3 constructed from?

The Spiritus Systems Thing 3 is primarily constructed from Tegris running through its core, combined with Squadron laminate. This material composition makes the rig hydrophobic, meaning it does not absorb water, which is beneficial for drainage and preventing added weight in wet conditions.

How does the Thing 3 differ from the Thing 1 and Thing 2?

The Thing 3 expands upon previous designs by offering MOLLE on both the front and rear faces simultaneously, an expanded MOLLE column count per wing, and improved compatibility with larger modern radios like the PRC-163. It also offers greater versatility in standalone use or integration with other chassis.

Can the Spiritus Systems Thing 3 be used as a standalone chest rig?

Yes, the Thing 3 can be used as a standalone chest rig. It comes with split back repair buckles that can be attached to a harness. This allows it to function as a dedicated MOLLE platform without needing to be attached to a Micro Fight Chassis or other placard.

What are the advantages of the dual-sided MOLLE on the Thing 3?

The dual-sided MOLLE on the Thing 3 allows for pouch attachment on both the front and rear faces simultaneously. An internal Tegris divider prevents pouches on one side from interfering with the other, effectively doubling the usable MOLLE real estate for carrying a greater amount of equipment.
