I currently own the Condor Elite vest (black), but I've been looking for something that offers a little more mobility and comfort. I was considering getting a MOLLE rig, so I can put on mag pouches and 40mm grenade pouches, but I need to get the new gear soon, and I can't afford to spend a whole lot of money right now. So I was thinking of the OE TECH Commando Chest Rig. Looks like a decent substitute, but how does it really stack up to my current vest? The most important thing I want is good ventilation (which it looks like it has), but also, are they good for holding 40mm grenades? Any other details I should know about? |

OE Tech = Condor. That second vest isn't exactly great for holding 40mm shells, but the general purpose pouches on the sides could probably fill that role for you. Quality is cheap, something to expect from a 20 chestrig however. There's nothing really spectacular about that vest, but it should work out for you.

On the screen, that OE Tech rig doesn't look like enough of an improvement to justify spending money on it. You mention wanting to carry 40mm grenades, but it has no grenade pouches, just utility pouches. Save your money until you can afford what you actually want, or you'll just end up shopping for a vest again, but $20 poorer.
Edit: it looks like your current vest has a MOLLE back, while the new one doesn't. My personal opinion is that MOLLE back is a useful feature. You can attach a hydration carrier directly to it and then your weight is sort of balanced. Otherwise it's chest rig + backpack with both wanting to sag.

In that case, any links to a good but economical MOLLE rig? Also, I wanna get everything all in one store if I can to save on shipping. The stores that have the OE TECH Ops rig only have the double 40mm pouch. Will that be a problem if I have 3 grenades? I can keep one in the launcher right?

Hmm... looks essentially the same as my current vest. I need lighter and more mobile. I think I'll just get the Tech Ops rig and get me good pouches. Or will a triple grenade pouch and a double mag pouch fit on the Condor Modular Chest Panel? If not, can I get a way with a double grenade pouch? |

If you use a double pouch you can certainly carry two in the pouch and one in the launcher, but do you have a plan for how to juggle them as you reload?
Regarding fit, you're got no problems at all. Your rig is 8 channels wide. An M4 pouch is generally two channels. 40mm pouches tend to run one channel per grenade, though some triple pouches use four. You could run 2 M4 pouches and a triple 40mm pouches and be all filled up.

Well, for the sake of realism, wouldn't it make sense to just drop the spent shells and pick them up post-game? Anyway, I ask about the small chest panel because Airsoftgi has ALL that stuff I'm looking for (except the wider Ops rig): Chest panelMid-cap mags (I really prefer to get G&G mags since I KNOW those will be fully compatible with my gun. Mixing-n-matching certain brands can cause issues, so I hear.) Dual grenade pouch (They don't seem to have the triples.) Dual M4 mag pouch |

Ok, so... All that I listed above will come to about $120 (free shipping if they're still doing that). Oh, but I'm running low on BBs so I might as well get some more. I'll probably want bio-bbs so that's about 20 bucks for a 5000rd bag. $140 for all that sound good? As for the juggling thing, I recently bought an SDU shirt that has an assload of pockets. I have nothing else to say UPDATE: I placed the order, and even found a coupon for 10% off so it came to $127.  |

Damn, I bought a OE Tech aka Condor PC with cummerbund with pouches, a new PTT for my head set, and a dump pouch for under $115.
