Description

The Hilo Laser Recon Chest Rig V2 Kit is a scalable load bearing platform designed for maximum flexibility and mission adaptability. This complete setup includes the Hilo Laser Recon Chest Rig V2, Laser Harness and Back Strap for a ready to run chest rig system out of the box.

Featuring 7 front rifle mag pockets with space for 2 additional mags or accessories on each side, this rig allows you to configure your loadout for efficiency and ease of access. Expand its capacity further by stacking up to 14 mags using GP pouches on the integrated MOLLE sections beside the front panel.

With modular expansion options you have full control over how you set up your rig.

Attach the GP 7x6x3 Double Mag Pouch on the side wing for additional magazine storage. Add the GP 6x5x2 Pouch in the middle for storing mission essential items or opt for the GP 4x6x2 Single Mag Pouch to keep medical supplies easily accessible.

The rear section of the rig is designed for versatile storage allowing you to securely carry additional magazines, a radio or a tourniquet to ensure you're fully prepared.

For increased loadout efficiency the bottom of the rig features an opening designed to integrate with the Hilo Drop Pouch. This pouch can be attached via insert or Tubes attachment using the Hilo Chest Rig Tubes Duck Bill Insert giving you fast access to essential gear while maintaining a clean low profile setup.

Unlike traditional rigs the Hilo Laser Recon Chest Rig V2 features a built in zippered pouch located directly behind the mags and in front of the buckles allowing quick access to stored items without interference from shoulder straps. This layout keeps mission essential gear within reach while maintaining a streamlined setup.

The included Laser Harness helps distribute weight comfortably during extended wear while maintaining a low profile footprint. The Back Strap provides stability and adjustability allowing the rig to remain secure during movement and dynamic use.

Built for users who need a modular chest rig platform with scalable storage, rapid access and the ability to adapt loadouts based on mission requirements.

IMHO the perfect modern rendition of a TAPS style rig, laser cuts are perfect, stitching is flawless, mag reinsert with ease while still allowing for great retention. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends.

Great price for a very competitive chest rig. There is not much on the market like this and at a great price point. Very innovative and versatile rig.

This chest rig is fantastic. I purchased this rig in preparation for a run and gun. The run and gun was 9.5 miles in the Texas Hill Country. In the rig I carried 9 AR mags, 4 pistol mags, and two Tq’s. The rig was outstanding, it was comfortable, snug, and durable through woods and cactus. The zipper pocket was a huge plus to carry my phone, snacks, and keys. I highly recommend this rig. The only down side, I wish it came with the rear strap. That’s sold separate. I would prefer to just add it in the cost and it comes with the rig. I found out I needed it after the rig got delivered. I didn’t read the fine print.

I got this specifically for Gun Run and Brutality matches. Although a micro rig would work, I would rather carry more ammunition and stuff (e.g., use it more like an actual recon rig) to more closely simulate a combat or patrol load. I only had two issues, both very minor. First, the velcro on the front is coyote brown instead of matching the multicam. It's not a big deal, but I like to match patterns as much as possible. The second issue is getting magazines back *in*. This is a competition issue, where you need to drop a mostly full magazine and show clear; I don't want to drop them in a dump pouch because I'll need them again, but getting a magazine back into the sides of the rig while still on the clock is a challenge. Adding the Haley Strategic MP-2 will probably solve that issue for me. Magazine retention is fine without them, it's only about holding the slot open enough to get the magazine in quickly. Comfort is good, and I never noticed the minimal configuration I'm using disrupting any shooting positions. I have not tested it with a plate carrier yet.

Works perfect for military law enforcement rifle range qualification and moving and shooting drills

She F¥€&$ bois! In all seriousness, this is a solid rig that rivals some of the other top grade A brands out there. I’m even going to say better than one I paid more than twice as much for and wait months of lead time to get. I am pretty stoked with this one. I’m hoping Midwest makes some variants, or adds some options upgrades to this so I’ll feel more inclined to give them more of my money “hint hint” i can’t recommend this enough. Buy it, the only thing you can regret is what color or what pattern you get. And at the price it’s at, just get another one.
