      Love the versatility of the TAP rig. I have it set up to run over a slick plate carrier. 6 front magazine pouches with the ability to hold 4 extras under the arms. The slick molle front face leaves room for additional pouches while mags are held close to the body. I use the under arm pouches for radio and medical. It's a great all in one that can be used with or without armor. Straps lack padding so if you're running without armor you'll want to add some. Can be configured to hang off multiple armor systems and even as a SAW gunner setup. Shown here with 8 mags and a baofeng.

      One of the cleanest rigs I’ve gotten out of the packaging. Mine is still a work in progress but it’s slowly becoming one of my favorite chest rigs. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work

      That good surp

      It’s basically an American take on a chicom chest rig for the modern age. Durable, quality stitching, and as versatile as any good GI equipment gets. Snuggly fits PMAG 10/30s and I suspect it fits STANAG magazines perfectly as that’s what it’s designed for. Came with all sorts of straps and buckles to make it viable with any plate carrier or just a stand alone chest rig

      Amazing item, works on a plate carrier and with the shoulder strap and can roll up for easy storage.

      This seems like the legit deal. Got it on Black Friday and it was the cheapest TAP kit I could find(from websites I trusted). Came with the repair kit and everything.

      A bit complicated to set up, but if I can do it anyone can. Once that's done it works great- simple, easily adjustable, durable, and fits all the crayons I could ever need.

      TAP rig

      It’s nice, works well, it’s slightly difficult to set up and takes a bit. Overall works great.

      Steven j Farley

      It came really quickly and exactly as described. This rig holds 6 30rd ar mags and has two side spots for radios which can be adjusted to fit 30rd ar mags nicely, so in total it fits 8 mags which by itself is a nice rig, but it goes really well 5 or 6 molle attachments depending on size! A perfect stay vigilant!

      Curious About Sizing?

      Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

      Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

      Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

       

      Jacket & Shirt Sizing

      In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

      To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

      This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

      14"-15" PtP = XXS

      16-17" PtP = Extra Small

      18"-19" PtP = Small

      20-21" PtP = Medium

      22-23" PtP = Large

      24-25" PtP = Extra Large

      26-27" PtP = XXL

      28-29" PtP = 3XL

      Pant Sizing

      We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

      To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

      To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.

      Surplus Condition Guide
