How many magazines does the TT Chest Rig MKII M4 hold?
The Tasmanian Tiger Chest Rig MKII M4 features five front magazine pouches designed for M4/AR15-pattern 5.56mm magazines, each closed with a hook-and-loop retention flap. The rig also includes two side pockets (zipper closure) for additional storage of radios, medical supplies, or other equipment. Total main-compartment magazine capacity is five 30-round M4 magazines.
Does the TT Chest Rig MKII include armor plate capability?
Yes. The MKII features a fold-out armor plate insert pocket that allows the addition of a front armor plate when the mission requires it. The fold-out design means the plate pocket is not visible or obstructive when not in use, and the plate can be added or removed without changing the base chest rig. Armor plates are not included and must be purchased separately.
What fabric is the Chest Rig MKII M4 made from?
The Chest Rig MKII is constructed from genuine CORDURA® 700 denier fabric. The 700D weight provides abrasion resistance significantly greater than 500D fabrics while remaining lighter than 1000D heavy-duty nylon — a balance that TT specifically selected for chest rigs where worn weight matters. Multicam variant uses a compatible Multicam-printed fabric.
What is the maximum waist size the Chest Rig MKII M4 fits?
The Chest Rig MKII M4 is designed as a unisex product with a waist that adjusts outward to 59 inches. Adjustable padded shoulder straps provide vertical fit customization. The broad adjustment range accommodates most adult body types without requiring size-specific procurement.
Does the Chest Rig MKII have MOLLE webbing?
Yes. The MKII features a full MOLLE system on all major attachment areas — front, sides, and available surfaces — allowing standard MOLLE-compatible pouches, medical kits, admin panels, and accessories to be mounted. This makes the MKII a modular platform that can be configured beyond its five magazine pouches for operator-specific mission requirements.
Q: Does the Chest Rig MKII M4 fit AK-pattern magazines?
A: The pouches are sized for M4/M16 5.56mm STANAG magazines. AK-47 (7.62×39) curved magazines will not fit correctly due to the curvature and width. Dedicated AK magazine rig configurations are available from Tasmanian Tiger separately.
Q: Can I upgrade the magazine pouch closures to quick-release?
A: Yes. The height-adjustable flaps are designed to accept aftermarket quick-release closures as an upgrade, replacing the standard hook-and-loop retention for faster single-hand draws.
Q: What size armor plate fits the fold-out pocket?
A: The fold-out plate pocket accepts plates up to 8 × 10 inches (approximately 20 × 25 cm). Hard ceramic plates at this size weigh approximately 1.3–1.8 kg depending on the protection level — account for this additional weight in your loadout planning.
Q: Can I stage medical gear on the MKII M4?
A: Yes. The MOLLE attachment points on the front sides, lower front, and shoulder straps accept standard MOLLE medical pouches. A TT Tac Pouch Medic or TT IFAK Pouch pairs directly with the chest rig for a combined ammunition and CLS loadout.
Q: What is the waist adjustment range?
A: The total waist width adjusts from a minimum of 82 cm to a maximum of 149 cm — the front and side panels span 67 cm and the adjustable waist belt provides the remaining adjustment range.
