I'm looking for a chest rig that will fit me, I'm 5'5" and 125 lbs. I would like to carry 6 M4 Mags with it. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks |

I feel your pain. I'm 5'11"ish and ~145lbs, so I had the same issue. Went for the 03 Design Group MSF harness.
In retrospect, I probably could have chosen better. The TT MAV split-front or Mini-MAV have been looking good lately, too. Or the Esstac Bush Boar (A1 if you really need the split-front) or Load Bearing Boar for something a little more "battle jacket" style. But the Mini-MAV or something similar, with 3 double-mag pouches on it, would probably do the job all right. |
| I'm quite a bit larger than you, and I have the TT Mini MAV, but it would work just fine for someone your size. Put either two three-mag or three two-mag pouches on it and you're done. I just have the one Fight Light three mag pouch on mine and a single pouch on my belt. |

I've got one of these: http://www.skdtac.com/Eagle-Chest-Rig-Universal-SKD-p/eag.567.htm
I'm 5'10 and fluctuate between 140 to 155 and I've gotten down to fit me with just a T-shirt on. Though there is lot strap left after so I had to cut some of the length out and taped the rest for adjustment. |

I just got one of these for a special application. So far I really like it. |

TAG makes the Go Time Stacker rig http://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/gotimestackerchestrig.aspx
I have one and use it for 3-gun; I like it. It only hold three mags but will accomodate a shingle on the front. I believe it's only available in black. |

I have tried a ton of chest rigs out there, and the mini mav is one of my favorites for a small, no B.S. rig.
I have not run an HSGI AO or an SOE micro, but have run MAV 1 and 2 pieces, Eagle Paul Howe, BCM 03 split front, Eagle 4 mag basic early chest rig, etc, etc. and so far my favorite setup is a mini mav with 3 tacos on the front, and a camelbak thermoback 3 liter with a tactical tailor 200 round SAW pouch attached to the D rings on the back of the camelbak via malice clips. Super lighweight and low profile. [ETA] I am 5'6" tall and 160 lbs with a 30" waist for reference. |

I'm the opposite of a small guy (though at 6'3" 180 I'm kinda lanky), but the Eagle is a great setup. I used to have one before I traded it (wish I hadnt but I'm trying to transition to all multicam/acu/coyote-desert digi setups and it was RG), and it worked great as lend out rig. I never say any actual use, but it was very easy to fit regardless of body type, etc. |
