Once again
LBT-1961AF Chest Rig, Gen.1, OD Green, 2002 Buckles, No Labels
Very similar to the AWS Strike Vest in terms of layout and construction, but definitely loaded with lots of little force multipliers and creature comforts that make this rig more contemporary despite being a 20+ year-old design at this point.
More capacity for mags, an 'okay' map pocket, and lots of additional pouches really push the format to its limit for the overall size. If one were to make a swiftclip-able/PC placard-style version of this design, it would not be out of place in the modern age.

The outer radio pockets each have a generously-sized utility pocket, which have a removable elastic 'lid' to use as a dump pouch as well as a small frag grenade pocket on the inner sides.
The rig has four double M4 mag pouches (holding 8 mags total in the dedicated pouches) and a double pistol pouch that can either hold two double stack or four single stack mags. Also good for holding multitools.
Tumblr media
The 'AF' in the designation refers to 'Air Force' as this variation of the LBT-1961 was designed with three dedicated pockets for MS2000 Strobes for CCT guys to mark landing strips.
Also notice how the flaps are sewn with a box stitch to hold the velcro in place - later generations of these rigs would sew the flap velcro with a third horizontal line rather than an 'X' shape.
Tumblr media
Inside the map pocket, there's an 'envelope'/EDC style holster that simply velcro's in place. An extended 'wing' off the leading edge of the holster holds one or two extra mags.
Honestly, this is probably the least usable feature on this rig given how awkward it is to access. Still neat that it was included all the same.
Tumblr media
The H-Harness, while simple, was revolutionary for the time and elements of which like the velcro-adjustable rear cross-strap can still be observed with modern chest rig designs. The cable management flaps aren't spectacular, but it's good that they're there.
Note how the rear ends of the shoulder pads are 'squared' and simply terminate to 1" webbing, rather than folding off to the sides - this is another one of the ways you identify these as Gen.1 rigs.
Tumblr media
Copious amounts of drain grommets on all the pouches.
It's very jarring to notice the difference in pricing for these rigs depending on the color you have - for instance, the 'pinky tan' versions of these oldschool rigs were used extensively by Navy Seals and AFSOC and currently go for several thousand dollars when they pop up.
But because this one is OD, and almost nobody has been seen using them, they're only worth about $300 at most and I actually ended up trading a helmet for mine lol.

I need to overhaul my chest rig/PC setup, not exactly sure what direction I should go in.
I have a ferro slickster and I've been wearing my lazutchik over it, but it's more weight than I want to hoof around. I'm trying to decide if I want to get a SPC or JPC and molle shit to it, or swift clip a Mayflower, Spiritus, LBT, or comparable chest rig to it.

TIL: Those small utility pouches on the front of the mag pouches on an LBT 1961AF Chest Rig are for MS2000 Strobes.
Neat.

Custom 5.56/.308 Woodland Split-Front Chest Rig
It's rare that I take custom project commissions, but this case was an exception for a close friend that I've known since 2016.
This project was mostly me spitballing an assortment of concepts and figuring out what he wanted, and there's definitely a lot of things I'd do differently if I ever made another one of these, but in the end I think it came out all right given the available material limitations and the overall "figure things out as I go along" mentality.
The core of the design is obviously a Strike Vest, but there's about a half-dozen other sources of inspiration here, from Blackhawk, Paraclete, LBT, etc. The end goal being to make a retro-inspired chest rig with subtle modern accoutrements (such as swiftclip compatibility).
The abundance of chemlight loops was specifically requested by the customer, and more would have been added to the pouch flaps if the seatbelt webbing material weren't so slippery and the elastic weren't so spongy.
The 4 mag pouches were intended to hold two 30-round 5.56 mags each, but given the sloppiness of the design, it may also hold .308 mags as well. I doubt this will be tested, as the customer intends to make custom double kydex inserts for each pouch, so the looseness is beneficial.
Another feature that might be constructed for this rig in the future is a detachable RRV-style admin bib. Time will tell when or whether I accept that project.
