"Great chest rig to start your expensive new hobby.
Built in mag pouches are a great start with room to grow and add more expensive cool guy stuff.
Note: if you are skinny like me, after adjusting it to fit you may loose usable mag pouch space since it will compress the pouches as it wraps your body.
Even so, it’s comfy, has built in pouches and is cheap but a quality build. It’s exactly what you want, and can be upgraded with a chest panel and a hydration carrier.

"Affordable and did its job. I still prefer taco mag pouches, but these make sure your mags are secured in. Especially in outdoor fields where you might fall and trip over something and unknowingly drop a mag. Overall great purchase, no regrets. Love the molle space, comfortable, and doesn't get in the way. I recommend!

"Love this chest rig. Fits great with the hydro harness (at least for larger framed people) there is molle on top of the pouches for other stuff. So far no cons

"For the price of $32, this chest rig is probably the best you can get. It has 6 integrated mag pouches, and 2 elastic straps on the sides for holding flashlights or pistol mags, or other things around that size. It has 2 admin pouches, a mesh one and a main one. The main one has tons of Velcro and will make lots of sound when ripped open. For some reason, there is Velcro inside the pouch. (I guess if you really like patches you ca have them in your admin pouch) The pouches fit about 1 m4 mag each, so you can probably fit 2 mp5 mags. It will not fit anything larger than an m4 mag, so g36 mags and ak mags are out. There is tons of molle, and to take the rig off, you only have to remove one strap buckle and one belt buckle. To put it on, you can keep the straps on and remove one belt buckle, then slide it over your head, which makes it fast to take off and put on. There is 4 whole rows of molle to mount any other pouches you could want. It can be worn h harness or x back. The straps are very long, and if you are skinny or medium sized, there will probably be lots of excess strap. Condor has acknowledged this, and added Velcro close things to wrap up the excess strap. The elastic top for the mags are a little hard to take off, but if you want them on, the fastest way is to slide it to the side. The tan color is also lighter.
Pros:
Tons of molle
Holds 6 m4 mags or 12 mp5 mags
Fast to put on and take off
2 admin pouches
Can be worn h harness or x back
Metal d rings
Doesn't sag under weight
Waterproof
Straps are comfortable and will not scratch your neck even in x back
If you're skinny, the excess straps will wrap up with build in securing straps
Look like a total oper8tor
Cons:
Elastic mag retention things are hard to remove unless you slide it to the side
Main admin pouch is very loud when opened (tons of Velcro)
Mag pouches won't fit anything more than a m4 mag
Biggest con: not enough cons to make my review look better!
Overall, I give this rig a 5/5. You won't find anything better for the price of $32. This rig is high quality (unlike condor plate carriers) and mine had no stitching mistakes. It's basically the mcr4 with slim integrated pouches, unlike the mcr5 (a mcr4 with huge pouches). Plus this one has the same amount of molle as the mcr4. So, go ahead and buy it.

"I love this chest rig! I've had some vests in the past that were nice/expensive vests, but this beats them by far. The rapid assault chest rig, or "R.A.C.R." as Matt at Evike likes to call it, is a lightweight, comfortable, and highly adjustable solution for holding your magazines, and a few select things. Whenever I wear my "R.A.C.R." I feel like running, and jumping, and well, like superman! Never underestimate the power of a good chest rig. I would say one of my only complaints is not having any storage space on the back, but I remedied that with by running a condor pouch on the horizontal strap for some extra storage, and I wear a Condor hydration carrier/backpack. I did remove the bungee cords because they got in the way.
Pros:
Comfortable
Makes me feel like Superman
Highly adjustable
Mags fit in nicely
Cons:
Not too much storage

"I'm 6'3" , 240 lbs and the chest rig just fits right. Not really made for small people without modding. Mags fit very well even without the bungees,when new it's a little hard to pull out quickly. I managed to play with my 1911 tucked in the map pouch and held in with a bungee.great for the day playing.

"PROS:
Strong and lightweight
Strong clips that won't shatter if shot
Four rows of MOLLE
Very maneuverable
Removable ties on mag pouches (I prefer to take them off for faster reloads)
6 M4 mag pouches, 2 Pistol mag pouches (on the left and right side, also good for holding flashlights, tools, ect)
Extremely adjustable, fits anywhere from pencil thin to morbidly obese.
Two large pouches on the backside of the rig (facing your body), good for phone, wallet, dead rag
Very comfortable
CONS:
I'm decently skinny, like a size 32 pants size, and I had to adjust the bottom belt a ridiculous amount. The strap comes about 3 feet long, and I had to adjust it to about 8 inches.
You have to disconnect a minimum of 3 clips to take the rig off, and it's semi difficult to get back on
No velcro panels on front for patches (not a big deal though, I just stitched mine on)
This rig is awesome, and the cons aren't bad at all. I would definitely recommend this vest to any airsoft player.

"I have the Tan version of this Chest Rig.
After two outings with this rig I must admit I'm quite baffled as to why I didn't get one sooner! The rig is light weight, low profile and highly adjustable. I have a 32" waist, narrow chest, 6'2", built like a twig and it fits me with the waist cinched all the way in. There's still room to tighten it up if you're under 6'. Adjusted all the way out, this rig could fit three of me in it!
Everything on this rig is easily adjusted and kept very close to the wearer's body. The trade-off is that there isn't a lot of molle space and once the magazine pouches are empty, things attached on the outside tend to get a little floppy, so I wouldn't mount a pistol on it, but you could and it wouldn't be a game-breaker.
The stitching and material are quite good for what you're paying. As with all Condor products, being budget products, the molle webbing isn't super precise but it is manageable. The buckles are very sturdy and the velcro is more than adequate. The keepers on the adjustments straps are a very nice touch and work wonderfully.
The mag pouches hold the magazines securely when worn, even without the use of the bungee cords. I ended up taking the bungee cords off for ease of use. The pouches are deep enough that your mags won't go flying, even during extreme maneuvers like tactical back-flips. The pouches are so deep, in fact, that extraction without a Magpul magazine assist can be difficult, as the magazines tend to hang up on the very top row of molle webbing. With a Magpul magazine assist, however, this is a non-issue.
The other pockets are functional, big enough for cell phones, maps, extra mags,, batteries, snacks, anything slim, really. The center pouch has drainage grommets and a large velcro panel on the inside, perfect for attaching some other piece of gear like an organizer, or even that triple mag pouch they sell with the velcro on it.
The shoulder straps are adequately padded without being bulky, and overall this rig is quite comfortable. Since it is open in the back there's no ventilation issues and I don't feel restricted in movement whatsoever. The swivel fast-release buckles play a key role in how well this rig fits. They allow quick doffing of the rig and a comfortable, customized fit for the wearer.
Everything on this rig is made for trim, unencumbered movement. It is very well designed, highly adjustable, and has functionality to match durability. Mostly geared for CQB, It carries more than enough mags for quick skirmishes and a simple addition of another row of pouches will give you a rig fit for longer game types.
Other airsofters admire this rig, and have even dropped their $500+ plate carrier set-ups for this very same platform. Bottom line: it works well in the role for which it was made. And for such a low price!

"Awesome rig but for a 5 11 130 u will have to do some modding to get it to fit but no biggie with the hydro pack it works fantastic and is very comfortable I would recommend it
