I've always been a fan of web gear. They're great for guys like me who can't afford plates, and I've always thought they distribute weight more efficiently than a chest rig. Plus they do better in the heat.
I finished a new web gear setup this afternoon. It's designed for my Mossberg 500 but could also work with a rifle if needed. Note that I do not own a pistol.
The belt is an ALICE pistol belt with Eagle Industries War Belt Suspenders. The suspenders are minimalist, but don't interfere with my pack. If I find them uncomfortable I'll pick up some M1941 suspender pads.
From left to right:
Eagle Industries Double AR Magazine Pouch
5.11 VTAC Shotgun Pouch
Eagle Industries Canteen Pouch
Condor EMT Lite Pouch (IFAK)
CAT Tourniquet attached to my IFAK (moved inside the IFAK)
Eagle Industries Canteen Pouch
Ontario Spec-Plus Tanto
Eagle Industries Single Grenade Pouch (using it as a compass pouch)
Eagle Industries Double AR Magazine Pouch
I'm using Esstac 7rd Velcro Side Saddles in the magazine pouches.
I think this is kind of middle of the line weight wise. It's not ultra low profile, but I intentionally left out items like a field pack. I designed it to work in conjunction with a backpack, which allows me to tailor my load to the situation. If I need more gear it goes in the pack, if I'm dove hunting out of the back of my truck I leave the pack in the truck.
Anyone else using a similar rig?
