The back of the Modular Chest Rig Base Platform also features a covered Velcro patch for the attachment of drop accessories (coming soon). The back of the Modular Chest Rig Base Platform has a zippered top that allows access to the entire inside of the base platform for additional storage. The front of the Modular Chest Rig Base Platform features 8 MOLLE columns and 5 MOLLE rows (approximately 13” wide and 6” tall). The Modular Chest Rig Shoulder Straps can be used in the stock X configuration, or in the H configuration with the additional H configuration adapter (sold separately). The Modular Chest Rig Shoulder Straps attach to the Modular Chest Rig Base Platform with side release buckles allowing for size adjustment and quick donning and doffing. The Modular Chest Rig Shoulder Straps are 2” wide to comfortably distribute the load and feature additional laser cut MOLLE slots for attaching pouches and accessories. The Wilde Custom Gear Modular Chest Rig Base Platform is a laser cut 1000D nylon base that attaches to the Modular Chest Rig Shoulder and Waist Straps. We provide the Modular Chest Rig in a bare configuration to allow the user to configure the chest rig to meet their needs. If you’re looking for a new way to carry magazines, I’d suggest taking a look at Blue Force.The Wilde Custom Gear Modular Chest Rig is a custom configurable MOLLE based Chest Rig that consists of the Modular Chest Rig Base Platform and Modular Chest Rig Shoulder and Waist Straps. It is one thing for me to wear this in practice, but another for it to stand up to repeated tours and daily use. I’ve scoured the Internet for anything even closely resembling complaints about material or design failures and I’ve come up empty. I still can’t answer the “how” part of the question, but I know it does. How can something so light stand up to hard use? So I was skeptical about the Ten Speed philosophy. I know I’m old fashioned in that way, but that’s the way it is. I prefer for my ARs and my pistols to be made of steel. I had no idea what to expect with Blue Force’s Ten Speed set up. The pistol mag pouches are ideal for many flashlights. Because of the flexible nature of the elastic (which is far more forgiving than most nylon), you can carry a wide variety of extras. The Rack Minus has 12 rows of MOLLE attachment points, so you can combine rifle mag holders and pistol mag holders (like the Double Pistol Mag Pouch in the photo below). The Blue Force Ten Speed gear comes in a variety of colors and patterns.īlue Force makes their Ten Speed line in a variety of configurations. The Triple M4 sells for $33.īlue Force makes their gear in the U.S., and back their workmanship with a lifetime warranty. In the photo above, Jacob has tucked his Glock 19 into the Ten Speed elastic and it holds exceptionally well. The elastic is strong enough to hold aluminum or steel magazines, polymer magazines, and can even be used improvisationally. But the hold isn’t so tight that you’ll take the chest rig with you when you pull on a mag. There’s no need for bungee straps, or pouch covers, as the elastic will hold. The Triple M4 Pouch is a mix of ULTRAcomp, and “military grade elastic.” The result is a balance between tension and release that makes carrying a magazine secure and pulling a magazine reliably easy. For those interested in minimalism, Blue Force’s Ten Speed gear is a must. The Rack Minus won’t do much without some add-ons. It retails for right at $100 and comes in brown, grey or multi-cam. The Rack Minus works alone, as we’re showing here, or it can be paired on top of a plate carrier. But it holds its shape very well and isn’t prone to stretching at all. With the cut-outs so evenly spaced, and with so much material removed, I expected there to be more play, more give, in the rig. I can’t confirm the abrasive resistance of the material, but it feels solid enough. It feels almost like a cross between canvas and vinyl, and is reported to be four times as abrasion resistant as 1,000 denier Cordura. The Rack is made from a proprietary laminate material Blue Force call ULTRAcomp. And the Rack Minus is thin - that is a hard detail to ignore - and it weighs next to nothing.
