Särmä TST LW18 Chest Rig, used

A lightweight and simple Chest Rig to carry your most important fighting kit. Made entirely out of webbing, making the rig extremely rugged and breathable. Used!

The vest base is made from 25 mm webbing in two layers, sewn onto each other to form a 12 channels wide PALS matrix. Pouches attach to the webbing just as securely as onto a traditional fabric-backed vest, but the empty spots are only webbing and empty holes, making this design more breathable than a traditional Chest Rig.

As this rig is made for the Finnish market 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 based weapons tech.

The shoulder straps are comfortably wide, 50 mm, and end in 25 mm straps that attach onto the vest base corners with side release buckles. 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

Made entirely of the same materials and hardware that are used in the production of Finnish army M05 combat equipment, strong webbing, and ITW Nexus buckles, all NIR compliant naturally.

Used stuff

A small lot of used, field-tested Särmä TST equipment. We haven't checked each and every seam and buckle, but the general appearance looks solid. Used Särmä TST gear doesn't have a 12-month warranty for defects and workmanship of the factory new gear.
