Reddit reviews Condor MCR6-002 Tactical and Duty Equipment, Black

You can get molle stuff with pockets just as cheap.

Harness 1 or harness 2

+2x (3x pouch)

Different pouch.

Harness with pockets

Another harness with pockets

Or a vest

You can get all, or at least most of these in different colors. Even multicam.

Check out Condor Outdoor's stuff. They have a ton of different vests, you're bound to find one that works for you. You can find a bunch of their stuff on Amazon pretty cheap. If you're looking for something light to only carry about 6 mags, then something like their Rapid Assault Chest Rig might work well. However, it has no webbing on the back to mount a tank. I'm also not sure how it fits, since I have no experience with it.

If you want a vest that gives you the ability to mount a tank on your back, then their Modular Chest Set would work a bit better at the cost of being a bit heavier. I actually own this particular vest and I used it for quite a while, but eventually decided it was too big for my current loadout. If you're on the thinner side, this vest will be loose, even when fully tightened.

I'm suggesting these vests because they'll get you going the quickest, as they already have enough pouches for 6 mags built in. There are plenty of makes and models to choose from, I just recommend Condor because, in my opinion, they're a good bang for your buck. I've been using Condor gear since I got into magfed and can't say I've ever had a bad experience with them.

I've had my eye on this

Without a price range this is what I’ve got for you.

In the budget category:


Condor MCR6 Rapid Assualt


Condor Recon Chest Rig


In best on the market:


Haley Strategic Disruptive environments rig is amazing but it doesn’t suit your six mag requirement. So...

Amazon isn't where I'd usually go for a vest, but there are some decent options. Condor isn't a fantastic brand (not great quality and durability), but they have some good options for a budget on Amazon. I think the Condor Rapid Assault chest rig is fairly popular and it has some pouches built in. The Condor Recon chest rig has more pouches built in.

People often don't get gear with pouches built in, because it gives you more space to put on and switch out whatever pouches you need at the moment. This is a little more expensive to get started with because you have to purchase the pouches separately, but it gives you more options in the future. This Condor chest rig is more like that, though if you really want a lot of space for pouches you should look into a plate carrier, which is bigger than a chest rig.

But for getting started, you probably don't need that many pouches. Do you have an M4? If you do, I'd suggest the Rapid Assault rig. It has M4 pouches built in which you can use but also has a decent amount of MOLLE space for adding your own pouches. It's a good balance.

Keep doing research, search for other threads like this on /r/airsoft. There might be some better quality options that I don't know about. Buying used is another option, it's harder but you might get a really good deal. Let me know if you have any other questions!

EDIT: /u/zxj4k3xz is correct in pointing out that you probably don't need one. If you're just using a rifle with a high-cap magazine (probably came with it) you won't have much use for a vest/etc. But when you buy mid-cap magazines, and if you use your pistol enough that you want to have it with you as well as your rifle, a chest rig is a good way to carry it (the pistol probably fits in a mag pouch fairly well) for much cheaper than a good holster (the cheap fabric ones are godawful, don't use them).
