UW Gear Expands APC Chest Rig Options

By on December 4, 2015 in Tactical Gear

UW Gear has expanded their line of APC Chest Rigs. You can read our previous entry about these rigs for background but basically, they are UW Gear’s first foray into all-MOLLE chest rigs. The APC rigs were previously only available in a compact chest rig format but the line has been expanded to include an all MOLLE version of UW Gear’s popular Swamp Fox Chest Rig that features an 8×3 PALS grid on each side of the split front panel.

The APC Rigs are still not a regular catalog item for UW Gear so if you want one, you will need to contact John at UW Gear.

UW Gear Mini Swamp Fox

By on September 30, 2015 in Tactical Gear

UW Gear posted some updated pictures of their Mini Swamp Fox Rig. The new images are the best look we have had yet at this rig.

The Mini Swamp Fox is a non-catalog item that UW Gear is offering on a trial basis. It is a compact version of their split front chest rig design that uses their new double magazine pouch design to achieve the same magazine count as the original Swamp Fox 4 Rig with a much smaller footprint. If you want to put your grubby mitts on one of these, you need to contact UW Gear directly or order a regular Swamp Fox 4 and mention that you want the Mini version in your order notes.

UW Gear APC Chest Rigs

By on September 1, 2015 in Survival, Tactical Gear

UW Gear is venturing into new territory. All of their previous chest rig designs have featured integral pouches with a bit of MOLLE real estate for adding GP and blow out pouches. Their new APC, or Armed Prepared Citizen, pouches are their first foray into all MOLLE chest rigs.

The APC chest rigs are designed to be as slick and compact as possible so that they can be packed with a truck gun or AR pistol/PDW concept gun. Their harness is a simpler webbing version of UW Gear’s standard H harness. The APC-1 has a 6×3 PALS grid that is perfect for a 3x or 6x magazine shingle or 2 magazine pouches along with a pistol mag pouch or blowout pouch. The APC-2 has an 8×3 PALS grid that gives the user even more option while still remaining relatively compact.

Contact John at UW Gear for more details and ordering information. These are being released on a trial basis and will not be added to the website for now.

UW Gear Mini Swampfox Chest Rig

By on August 24, 2015 in Tactical Gear

UW Gear has released a new version of the Swampfox chest rig. The Mini Swampfox will only be available for AR-15 magazines. It carries the same four magazines that the regular Swampfox carries but it has two double magazine pouches instead of four single magazine pouches. The result is a split front chest rig that is very compact.

In addition to the magazines pouches, the Mini Swampfox features a 2 x 3 PALS grid to the outside of each magazine pouch so the user can add compact IFAK pouches, GP pouches, or additional magazine pouches. It has the same great H harness that is found on all of UW Gear’s rigs.

Speaking of the harness… UW Gear is also now offering horizontal PALS webbing as an option on their harnesses. This can be ordered on any of their chest rigs. The standard harness has vertical webbing which is useful for rigging small backpacks or hydration carriers to the chest rig. The new horizontal option will allow users to attach small pouches or radios more easily.

The Mini Swampfox is not listed on the UW Gear site. It is being offered on a trial basis for now. To order, simply place an order for a regular Swampfox and mention in the order notes that you want the Mini version or send an email references your order. The horizontal PALS webbing option on the harness can be ordered the same way.
