The AO Chest Rig is a cost-effective solution packed with features. Its front panel is skillfully designed to accommodate three rows and eight columns of PALS. In addition, the panel includes side openings for convenient storage of documents or maps. The rig is equipped with a hook fastener panel on its back, making it easily compatible with many plate carrier systems. Additionally, a carry handle is ingeniously sewn into the top, enabling quick transport especially in \'grab and go\' situations. Each AO Chest Rig comes bundled with the HSGI Small H-Harness, contributing to effective weight distribution. This feature offers enhanced comfort, as it significantly improves upon the X-backed shoulder straps typically found on small chest rigs.
