For those in the Cork area, The (infamous) surplus store in Ballinacurra, Midleton is currently stocking Protac Chest rigs in irish DPM, cost €90.00.
They stock some other Protac pouches too. Ask at the counter for more details.
One thing I have to asmire about the Protac Chest rig is that it uses a section of PLCE type web belt, on the left side. I assume this is to hold a pistol holster or suchlike?
Pity about the lack of silent opening on the pouches though.
Otherwise, looks solid enough.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

A British requirement, as they keep their NBC kit in it. This is one of the main problems that a lot of vests/chest rigs don't consider - provision of NBC gear. Most decent assault vests will have 2 clips for the newer (British) type of respirator pouch on the side.

we uswe that as the rspirator haversack too."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
