+1

Blast belts hold a surprisingly large amount of gear, and you could always run a small chest rig such as a Spec Ops MOUT rig on top of it if you need a bit more space.

+1 to a belt. MOLLE belts are slightly bulkier, but offer a little bit more flexibility and stability of pouch placement, AFAIK.

If I were to choose a mini chest rig all over again, I honestly have to say I'd have gone with a mini-MAV. I don't need as many midcaps as I carry right now... but then again, being able to carry 8 midcaps and have dividers between empties and fresh mags is kinda nice too.

If it weren't for me having an excess of 10 mags per AEG plus 4 mags per pistol... I'd just stick with a belt. Unfortunately, I've become somewhat of a mag whore?

$90 in Canada, tough to beat.

Or you could buy the Blue Force Gear pouches like in the featured chest rig and put them on a blast/battle belt!

I find that when using my belt I can get enough gear on it to make it worth my while. It's quite easy to fit about 6 AR mags, and 3 pistol mags, toss a dump pouch on the back and voila! I don't find that I need any more then that.

I use the blackhawk! belt due to it's unique design for the molle webbing. Slip a serpa drop leg on there as well and its usually all I need for a day of skirmishes.

The only problem I find at that point is hydration, so a camelback is required. :)


Edit...
I'll try to find my camera and take a picture of it.

Looks like you plan to do a lot of running, all day long, when playing airsoft. Maybe you should change your name to Forest Gump? Lol

I find a Blast Belt awkward for carrying a lot of gear on. I cut mine down to pistol mags, dump pouch, and one utility pouch. I wear suspenders with it also. It's part of my heavy rig that I run with a plate carrier that has the rifle mags, radio, water, and pistol.

For absolute light weight ditch the Molle, a setup with sewn on pouches will be lighter and lower profile.

Yeah, I have to agree Danke. They can get very heavy, but I find that I don't have many problems. If I'm using plastic mags it's all good, but if I'm using GBBR mags it's game over.

have to agree... for low profile, light and versatile you can't get better

I use a Tad Gear bandoleer like this, but with less shit hanging off of it.

wow thats actually pretty cool, does it swing around a lot? or is it nice and secure to your chest?...also where did you find one?

I would not recommend it .. these type of rigs are for short term operations.. or bug out situations for non first line operators.
As an Add on to up your light loadout to support an assault it makes sense but as a "first line" not a good option

it's not secure.. and it is not balanced.. and 5 hours in it will be hurting you.

for airsoft you want secure, low profile and light.. in that order.

awesome thanks for the advice.

And on that note, I've used it for hrs over top of a plate carrier and just over a bdu with 6 rifle mags and 2 pistol mags on the front, radio up on the sholder and a dump pouch low on the back. I never have any issues with mine sliding around or shifting, but it can get heavy on your 1 sholder if you over load it. It's a bug out rig mainly, but I do like it.

light loadout
 

hey so i know theres already a couple threads on light loadouts, finally decided to do it but i have some questions.

option 1.

one of those little chest rigs. id probably go with the condor one just because it is cheaper. my only concern is whether or not i can tighten the back tight so its close/tight on my body. im asking if anyone has had any experience with these because i had a condor rig, a little bigger one and i couldnt tighten it as much as i wanted.

my other option is to run one of those molle battle belts. just wondering to those who use them, can u use them with a dropleg holster without using the harness? will it be able to stay around your waist or will it keep falling down?

thanks for the help.
