MAYFLOWER

The Mayflower Chest Rig is one of the most famous chest rigs in the world and has reached its 6th generation with this model, "The Pusher".

While still on active duty, an American special operations veteran founded Mayflower Research & Consulting LLC in 2005 for designing tactical nylon for the troops – lightweight, durable, and adaptable for different mission types and operational environments. Velocity Systems has manufactured Mayflower gear since 2007, and in 2014 the Mayflower brand was acquired by them. The original Mayflower chest rig designer still works there designing and developing the Mayflower products.

Features

The Mayflower Gen VI chest rig is a modular platform designed to meet different preferences and adapt to various situations. The radio pouch has an adjustable retention system for different sized apparatuses, and you can place the mag inserts according to your taste. This chest rig comes with two double mag inserts for AR-15, AK, and AR-10 magazines (six double mag inserts in total). The inside of the chest rig has a Velcro hook area for better fitment to a plate carrier, when the shoulder straps are removed. This Velcro area is larger in the M05 version compared to other Gen VI Pushers. If you want to attach this chest rig's pouch part to your plate carrier, check the compatibility, and get a SwiftClip kit.
