Gear Test and Review
Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2020 8:16 pm
I took my wife and daughters on a kayak trip on the upper Mississippi today and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try and test my new chest rig by Hill People Gear. This is one of their bigger rigs. It has two main compartments and a hidden compartment in the back that will fit a full sized 1911 for quick access. You can set up the access to your firearm easily for either a right or left handed shooter. I like it because everything is very very handy whether you are hiking, biking, running, hunting, horseback riding, or kayaking. They make smaller models too and in colors that aren't as tactical. Here are some pictures of the rig and some of the stuff that I had packed in it today. It was very comfortable and I did not take it off once. The front pouch just opens enough for access and that is where I keep my phone and car keys among other things. The second pouch opens like a desk, (creating a shelf when fully open, instead of flopping completely down) and is very convenient. That is where I keep a majority of stuff including my extra mags. And then of course the back firearm area. (Which fits my Super Redhawk Alaskan nicely).. They have nice stuff, my youngest son turned me on to them because he wants to carry when he jogs and they have a very nice jogger chest rig.
