Helikon-TexRange Line, Training Mini Rig

I've worn this to the range a couple times and also did a short scouting/plinking hike out in the nearby national forest with it and it wore very well. No tight spots, no rubbing, no hangups, and it fit well with a pack on. It is easy to adjust if you wanted to let it out to wear over a fleece or plate carrier. The build quality looks and feels excellent and so far it has stood up well to strenuous use. I removed the lower pouch because I didn't really need it, but if I did any longer hikes or hunts with it, I would put it back on for a first aid pouch. My only complaint is that there are no keepers for the straps. I solved this issue with OD duct tape, but some elastic bands or a velcro strap would have been nice.The upper pocket holds a notebook and pens accessibly and is also good for snacks (the important things you know). The mag pouches are easy to access when running drills, the rig doesn't get in my way when transitioning, and it is comfortable when firing from a prone position. The pistol mag pouches are a little tight around my 17 round Sig mags, but that will probably break in as I use it more. The retainer straps on the pistol mag pouches are long enough to accommodate extended mags as well as multi-tools, flashlights, etc.I haven't had any gear or clothing in any Pencott patterns before, but I found their Greenzone pattern to be spot on for the PNW. I hung it up on a tree and walked off a few yards and if I didn't already know it was there, I would have never seen it. I think if you went head to toe in Greenzone you would be nigh invisible in this environment.This setup is most definitely worth having around if you spend a lot of time at the range and would be great as a lightweight scouting/hunting rig as well.

Very utilitarian, outstanding overall design and immensely comfortable. It doesn't get any better than this!

The materials are authentic ATACS-FG, and real YKK zippers. Construction seems very solid, as expected from Helikon-Tex. No bad stitches or loose threads anywhere to be found. I use this with a battle belt and can extend my field time past 36-48hrs with ease. Straps are long enough to throw this rig over a plate carrier, and the design makes it so you can don and doff this without any assistance. The flat, minimalist rear of the harness makes throwing a hydration carrier or other field pack on top very easy to do.The ability to carry 4 carbine magazines, along with 4 pistol magazines in such a low-profile rig it pretty impressive. Weight distribution is good, and the harness is comfortable even without padding. I was a little hesitant about that diaper bag hanging low on the front, but it has turned into a very convenient misc pouch for all sorts of items. without getting in the way. It does flop around in a jog, but that was expected since it only attaches at the top.My only complaint is the lack of PALS webbing on the rear of the harness. I would have rather had a small 2x2 (even 1x2) area on each side (up high) to make attaching a hydration carrier or other, larger pouch/pack simpler.

Excellent quality (appears durable, good zippers, stitching) and very lightweight. Holds my AR mags (but only 4 as opposed to my lightweight assault vest which holds 8) and my 9mm mags as well. The shoulder straps are thinner than what I was hoping for and it did take months to get to my door. Worth the $.

Tapers down well and tight to a small frame. Fully adjustable, made well and looks great.

I was looking for a chest rig and wanted something that wouldn't allow me to way myself down with things that I didn't need. I had started doing research and came across Helikon-Tex Range Line, Training Mini Rig. I asked a lot questions on AR15com and Reddit about Helikon-Tex and their products. It was these forums and their information that gave me the green light to buy a Helikon-Tex product and I'm glad I did. The stitching is top notch. It looks strong and even throughout the rig. The material is of great quality and authentic Cordura too. Funny thing about this rig, I took it out of the plastic and tried it on and it was nearly setup for me. I had to adjust the straps very little to get it to ride where I wanted it.Would I buy this rig or anything else from Helikon-Tex? Yes. Yes I would in a heartbeat. I feel like this rig will take a lot of abuse and far more abuse than I will put it through.If you are looking for a micro rig, look no further. Give this one a try. I don't think you will be disappointed. I know I'm not.I will add one thing. If you want something to go onto a plate carrier. This one will not attach to it. The strap across the waist has a different hooking method. You can run it with the two clips and then the back strap around your waist. It wouldn't be the traditional style that a lot of other brands are doing. I kind of wish this one had that but then again, I do have a PC setup already.

Many of you have asked if the Spiritus Systems SMG insert will work in this rig. I'm happy to report that it's a perfect fit but there's a hitch. Because Helikon uses both hook and loop materiel you will have to have an 8x2 inch piece of Velcro sewn to the back panel. The strip of front loop material will work with the Spiritus insert but there is no support to the rear. I scavenged the loop strip from the Helikon AR insert. A seamstress charged me 10.00 to sew it in.You can repurpose the AR-15 mag pouches to hold a CAT tourniquet if you wish. The pistol mag pouches will hold standard 9mm magazines like Glock 17/19, Walther PPQ, H&K VP9 etc. The lower pouch makes for a great IFAC or trauma kit. The upper pouch is mainly an admin type pouch and holds quite a bit as well. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light weight rig to carry the bare essentials. I still have room for a lot more kit than what I have in my photos.(UPDATE) FYI I discovered that the upper front zippered pocket over the Velcro panel will hold twelve 2 3/4" shotgun shells! I continue to try new things with this system and it still blows me away how much this rig will carry. I am also looking for shoulder pads for it as the more weight I add the more I can tell that carrying a full load in it will definitely be fatiguing over time.

Good material good quality

Comfortable and cost effective, what’s not to like

Bel marsupio frontale.

Secondo me è il miglior Chest sul mercato più questa colorazione non si trova in giro con le altre marche.

Geniale kleine Weste für den Schießbetrieb

Ottimo
