{"product_id":"viking-tactics-vtac-assault-chest-rig","title":"Viking Tactics VTAC Assault Chest Rig","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Viking Tactics VTAC Assault Chest Rig is a lightweight, low-profile load-bearing chest rig designed by Special Operations Soldiers for operators who need essential magazine and gear access without excess bulk. It arrives ready to use with integrated pouches for rifles, pistols, radios, and general purpose carry. Available in Black and Coyote, the rig weighs 1.2 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt Without the Bulk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany chest rigs accumulate features that add weight and reduce mobility. The VTAC Assault Chest Rig was designed around the opposite principle: strip the configuration down to what an operator actually needs and nothing more. The result is a rig that stays low-profile against the body, reducing fatigue and interference with other worn equipment during extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady to Run Out of the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VTAC Assault Chest Rig comes with four built-in M-4 magazine pouches, two pistol magazine pouches, two radio pouches, and two general purpose pouches, all integrated and not add-ons. That breadth of built-in capacity means an operator can configure a full loadout without sourcing and attaching additional pouches before the rig is usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable Construction, American Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VTAC Assault Chest Rig is built from materials described as the lightest yet durable available and is manufactured in the USA. At 1.2 lb, the rig keeps carried weight concentrated in ammunition and gear rather than the carrier itself, a meaningful difference over a long patrol or extended operational period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour integrated M-4 magazine pouches:\u003c\/strong\u003e built in, no attachment required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo pistol magazine pouches:\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated pistol mag access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo radio pouches:\u003c\/strong\u003e communications gear stays accessible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo general purpose pouches:\u003c\/strong\u003e flexible carry for additional kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 lb total rig weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e by Viking Tactics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePackaged Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12 x 1 x 12 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntegrated Pouches\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4x M-4 mag, 2x pistol mag, 2x radio, 2x general purpose\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Coyote\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAccessories Shown\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe VTAC Assault Chest Rig suits operators, security professionals, and serious tactical users who want a purpose-built, lightweight chest rig with integrated magazine and radio carry ready to use immediately.
