A Deeper Look at the Modular Chest Rig System by Tardigrade Tactical

The Modular Chest Rig System or MRCS is a pretty impressive undertaking by Tardigrade Tactical. They rolled out an entire system with components all at once, allowing the user to configure his kit in a bunch of different ways.

The MCRS include different types of PALS compatible fronts, all with build in compartments on the back, ranging from:

– “Classic” chest rig fronts (Infantry Chest Rig Front) with the width of 6 to 16 MOLLE/PALS columns. 

– “Split fronts” (Recon Split Front) with interchangable buckles for connecting the two sides of the split fronts.

– Placard compatible chest rig fronts (Infantry Chest Rig Front – Plackart Ready) that allows the end-user to change between plackarts according to the task and hand. 

The MCRS also includes a variety of harnesses and additional components to attach to any chest rig front, including slim, ergonomic and modular harnesses adoptable to both LE and MIL end-users. 

The MCRS – Modular Chest Rig System is an expandable and adaptable system, and system as a whole will continue to grow in the future, and as we get feedback and input from our end-users, we will be able to include these when developing future components.

They use letters to help you put the whole thing together. For most rigs you have to combine the components to reach the combination: A, B, C and so on, possible all the way to F.

Here’s an example:

This variant which combines:

Harness:
MCRS – Infantry Chest Rig Front size 6
MCRS – Y-Harness
MCRS – Back Strap size 1

Pouches:
Solo – Rifle Magazine Pouch
Speed Reload Pouch – Pistol

It’s offered in multiple colors including Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, Wolf Grey and MultiCam.

    I look forward to seeing chest rig innovations for 2022. Many in the civilian market are looking to invest in sustainment rigs and ditching the idea of body armor from a preparedness perspective.
