Eagle Chest Rig, Universal/SKD Version


Due to the high demand for the excellent Eagle Universal Chest Rig, designed by Paul Howe, we contacted Eagle to create a custom modification for us in early 2005. The plan was simple- remove the very user-specific MBITR pouches and put 4 rows of modular PALS webbing instead. This modification extended the reach of this excellent design to users who do not use the MBITR radio, and allowed for additional flexibility while staying well under $100.

SKD is the only source for this chest rig, as it is not considered a standard item by Eagle. This chest rig is simply one of the greatest values on the market today, and meets the needs of professional and civilian users alike for a simple and effective way to carry up to 8 M4 magazines, 4 pistol magazines, and other nefarious essentials. This rig also features a storage and mag compartment, grommets on all pouches, and fully adjustable retention flaps on the outer pouches, making it ideal for a pistol holster. Each pouch will hold 1x M14 magazine, or 1x AK-47 magazine, making it a truly universal setup.

FEATURES:

  •   Closed cell foam padding in shoulders for superior comfort, while remaining thin and low profile.
  •   Heavy-duty 1000 D Cordura construction.
  •   Fully adjustable and removable shoulder pads and waist strap.
  •   Mesh pouch and Internal Map Pocket with velcro closure.
  •   Made in the USA.

Rig is sized a bit large July 15, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from El Paso, TX United States  
Well made rig.  Quality is good.  I do not care for the straps on the outter two rifle mag pouches, don't feel they are really needed.  Haven't found a comfortable adjustment point yet for the shoulder straps.  If you are shorter or small framed it will be difficult.  This rig is made large.  Other than the sizing issue, no major issues.

Eagle Ind. SKD/Universal Chest Rig (MC) July 15, 2010
Reviewer: SR from Broward County, FL United States  
An excellent chest rig.  I have used it with AR 30-round magazines of various makes, including P-Mags, Lancers, and metal magazines, and even AK magazines.  All are well secured in the pouches even when the flaps are tucked out of the way.  The straps are comfortable even with a full load of carbine and pistol magazines and an accompanying Maxpedition Rollypolly dump pouch.

Eagle Chest Rig, Universal/SKD Version review July 10, 2010
Reviewer: Andrew P. from Columbus, OH United States  
I was lucky enough to score one of these while they were in stock. I purchased the coyote brown version.

Good vest at a great price. If you are looking for something fast and light, this is the vest for you. The SKD version in my opinion is better than the standard Eagle one as you get extra molle webbing on either side. I wish they would have added 3 rows instead of 2 though.

This vest does fit M14 mags quite well but I would prefer if you can get more than 1 mag in each pouch. The elastic is pretty tight so getting 2 M4 mags in is a little tricky but manageable. They also need to add elastic to the pistol mag/utility pouches in the front.

I was a little disappointed that the molle webbing and straps were not coyote in color. They must have used khaki for that. So, the vest almost looks more khaki than coyote. But, that's a minor detail that can be overlooked.

All in all for what it is, the Universal/SKD Eagle Chest Rig is well worth the money.

Eagle Ind. SKD/Universal Chest Rig (OD) July 2, 2010
Reviewer: C. Yang from Fremont, CA United States  
I purchased the Eagle Ind. SKD/Universal Chest Rig from SKDTac in June 2008. I have the OD version.

The rig includes four built-in rifle magazine pouches, each capable of holding two STANAG 30-round magazines snugly. The rig also provides four pistol magazine pouches. Each one can hold a double-stack 9 mm/.40 cal pistol magazine or a single-stack .45 cal pistol magazine. Hidden inside the rig is a map pouch that runs the length of the rig. There is also a smaller, open mesh pouch in the inside surface of the rig.

Personally, I use my rig in a temperate woodland environment and have customized it to suit my needs. For easy extraction of magazines, I removed the Velcro retention straps on the two outside rifle magazine pouches. I typically run either eight AR-15 magazines or four G3 magazines with this rig. The side MOLLE panels provide two columns of MOLLE webbing each, perfect for mounting a two-way radio pouch or even another pouch for more magazines.

Nice well made Harness June 23, 2010
Reviewer: Pete Shrock from richmond, KY United States  
I bought this rig, while it didn't end up working for me it was well made and well thought out. The only problem I have with it is that for me the rifle pouches hold 2 mags and for me I need them to only hold 1 mag per pouch, but this was more a preference issue.
