Micro Rig w/ Integral Hydration

[LRRPF52]

The front panel fits at least a Large SAPI with a little room to spare. Should fit XL SAPI as well.

Difference is 10x13 for LG

11x14 for XL

I'm looking at some chest rigs from other high quality US manufacturers that don't have the features or stitch count that I do that go for much more.

I also do split-front rigs, wider MOLLE count, with an articulated ergonomic fit to the torso, not just rectangles.

I've been using my own vests for decades now. I actually started modifying my own gear before I joined the Army as I already identified weaknesses in the LBE (LC-1) and LBV (LCS-88) and took them apart, sewed them with mods that made them more comfortable, balanced the weight better, added magazine capacity, fixed stress points on the Type 8 nylon webbing for the ALICE clips, covered all my snap fasteners with 1/2" OD green webbing tabs, made comfort pads, which eventually evolved into MOLLE belts/Panels and vests years later.

I was in some units that got MOLLE experimental kit for Land Warrior before it was issued to regular Army, so I started making my own MOLLE because I could already see the Army was going to approach gear manufacturing with the same garbage, Industries for the Blind approach.
