I've been looking for a chest rig for my wife. I have a Hellcat Mk1 that she likes, but the waist doesn't adjust small enough for her. The shoulder straps will go short enough but she needs another 3 to 4 inches or so on the waist strap. Can anyone tell me which chest rig has the smallest adjustment on the waist strap? Or any ideas on modifying the Hellcat waist strap to go smaller? She has a 24" waist if that helps (and no I'm not postin any pics  )TIA |

Spec-Ops Brand MOUT Chest Rig. It's only slightly wider than 4 mags. Not built to carry a heavy load, but that's about as compact as you can get. specopsbrand.com/assets/product_html/prod_mout.html Eagle and BlackHawk make chest rigs that are slighly wider, with small pouches on either side of 4 mags, and Specter Gear makes a rig that hold 3 mags with PALS or ALICE webbing on either side, but is just as wide. |
Really? The one I played with at a shop seemed like it had a lot of adjustment. I'm not so thick myself  and got it tightened high on my chest with just a shirt on. I can't remember if the straps were the same as in the pic in my link, but I see how in that version you could run out of space. You could always replace one strap with a shorter one, that would avoid any re-sewing of the webbing.  Interesting.

| Thanks for all the input fellas. Some great suggestions here. It's difficult to make a decision without having all the different rigs here for her to try on, but looks like at this point some custom deal or modification is the way she is leaning. I'll see about calling Tactical Tailor, the MAV is a sweet ride so I'm sure she would be happy with one of those that fit. |

I'm a small guy. About 5'10" 145lbs. As emabarassing as it sounds I started looking at airsoft forums because I figured they would be talking about vests built for smaller people. I saw Tac Force mentioned as being very adjustable down from small sizes up to large. I looked into the brand and it is not specifically made for airsoft which made me happy. I bought a vest and it fits me like a glove. Every other vest I have tried was to big. I found the best price on a airsoft sight: http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/tactical.htm (scroll down to get to the tac force stuff) I bought one that has 6 rifle mag puches but there is also one with 3 pouches and a crossdraw holster. There are 3 colors. Here is a pic of the one I bought:
