Chest Rigs¶
Chest rigs are worn over clothing and hold magazines and admin pouches without ballistic plates. A plate carrier provides the same MOLLE attachment points plus armor - some Operators wear a chest rig over a plate carrier, while others pick a plate carrier with integrated rig features (Crye AVS, LBT-6094, Eagle CIRAS) and skip the separate rig entirely.

|---|---|---|---|
| Chest rig (generic) | 0.8 kg | - | Worn over torso; holds mags and admin pouches. |
| Crye CPC | 0.7 kg | - | Minimalist combat pack-compatible chest rig. |
| LBT-1961G | 0.9 kg | - | Classic SOF chest rig. |
| Mayflower APC | 0.8 kg | - | Low-profile assault panel. |
Belts and Pouches¶
The battle belt overlaps with the riggers and pistol belts under Clothing - Belts. The difference is padding and MOLLE-compatibility: a battle belt is built to mount pouches and a holster, while a riggers or pistol belt serves the same role with clip-on attachments. Pick one belt system, not both. Most pouches listed here are modular and also mount on the chest rigs above or on a plate carrier.
