Designed as part of a collaboration with SOF personnel, the new 3X Special Forces Rig by Max Velocity Tactical is a versatile rig with four 5.56 magazine pouches with kydex inserts, 4 MOLLE wide side panels if you want to add more pouches, and two pouches behind the side panels designed specifically for carrying two AN/PRC 152 radios (one on each side), or two 5.56 mags in each radio pouch. You can also use the pouches for various admin items, or leave them collapsed if you so wish. There’s also a rear pouch for carrying a compass, as well as a map/notebook pouch overlaying the compass pouch.
