Särmä TST Chestrig SF

A 2-piece split front chest rig, a simple and versatile rig that functions well in a multitude of uses. Map pouches inside the panels, attachment points for small gear or hydration tubes on the shoulder straps. Enough PALS space to carry most loads. >Finnish MILSPEC quality!

The SF chestrig consists of two separate vest panels with 4 x 7 PALS webbing, these are snapped together at the front with two side release buckles. Each panel has a full-size internal map pouch, closed with velcro along the top.

As this rig is designed for the Finnish user we've taken into account the fact that our RK magazines need more than the usual three rows high PALS matrix that most western chest rigs are based on. This rig is four rows high to work properly with the standard-issue RK mag pouches, a good thing for anybody using Soviet AK-based weapons tech.

The shoulder straps are comfortably wide, 40 mm, with 25 mm straps with PALS webbing running along the top for attachment of small gear. A waist strap keeps the rig from flopping about. All straps are generously adjustable to fit pretty much anybody who could effectively use a rig like this in the field.

Finnish MILSPEC materials

The SF Chestrig is made of the same materials (1000D Cordura, polyamide webbing) and hardware that are used in the production of the Finnish military M05 combat equipment. The side release buckles are made by ITW Nexus, these are made from Delrin, an extremely tough special plastic that is very reliable even in extreme cold.

Made in Finland/Estonia

These are made by Finn-Savotta Oy, our subcontractor for all Särmä TST field gear and the single largest manufacturer of military gear in Finland. The design work is naturally done in Finland, materials are prepared and shipped to Finn-Savottas Estonian factory where the gear is sewn, then it´s shipped to Finland for quality control.
