Yep, you read that right; they’ve developed a chest rig, but in natural MATBOCK fashion it had to be something different.
The Berserker Chest Rig is ultralight. Weighing only 1 lbs, it’s manufactured from MATBOCK Ghost, a new fabric for them. In fact, expect a whole line made from MATBOCK Ghost.
The PALS compatible Berserker includes a bib as well as front and rear platebags amd removable cummerbund.
The Transition Tabs (seen below) allow you to cut the plates away while retaining wear of this Rhodesian-style chest rig.
Currently only available in MultiCam, samples are shipping for T&E soon.

Pretty cool take on that concept.
Did they hint at pricing or general availability?
Price point will be comparable to other lightweight waterproof carriers on the market. Looking to be available for purchase before fall.
Glad to see more companies pushing newer tech, in spite of the nay sayers who don’t really seem too well informed.
Its interesting seeing lighter variants and improvements for the MOLLE system. I was pretty dismissive of this for the first hour, although might buy one.
MATBOCK is run by some truly exceptional people. No matter how small the purchase, the attention to customer service is unrivaled. Not to mention their consideration for our armed forces, this is a company I will continue to do business with.
