A chest rig is a lightweight load-bearing system that is worn over the torso and designed to carry essential tactical equipment. It allows the wearer to quickly access ammunition, magazines, and other necessary equipment.

For fast and light operations, it can be worn by itself or over body armor. Typically used by individual's who require a large amount of ammunition or gear that can be taken off without removing armor protection. Ideal for in-vehicle operations or combatants who need to lay prone.
