More gear!

Here's something I finished up a few days ago, I wanted to take it up to the AA game but I hurt my ankle earlier in the week and still couldn't walk very easily come Saturday.

It attaches like the Maritime CIRAS, but it's not releasable.

Damn, Hawk. Nice stuff. Details? How does it adjust, does it actually have plate pockets, etc?

Thanks - took longer than expected, but here's some more pics of the rig for your viewing pleasure. There's just mesh on the inside - didn't want to get too complicated.



You can adjust the shoulder straps, they secured with velcro. Here's a picture of the cummerbund with elastic and 550 cord so you can fit it snug (adjusts longer or smaller, though it's near it's smallest point in order to through the back panel):




Cummerbund slides through here:




Here's the side flap where the end of the cummerbund attaches to:




Lay it on:




and close the flap down:




and then repeat for the other side. The easiest way to do it is to leave one side attached so only one side needs to be secured, which can be done in just a couple of seconds. I may go with some padded shoulder straps depending on how it feels all loaded up. Also the shoulder straps are 2" wide with 1.5" webbing for extra durability:

That there is some very nice work, Chris!

If you don't already have an account on Lightfighter I'd register and start posting that stuff.

The way the vest fastens on the sides looks a lot easier to do than others. It looks like you can fine tune the fit pretty fast and little more precise. Nice work!

My new machine!


It's strong, pretty (C'mon.. it's red), and quiet. The big limitation..


What clearance I have! I have less than what I started with on my friggin grandmas machine.

Oh, and don't mind the awesomely awesome sketch in the background, I was explaining something to someone. It's not artwork. The table for it will come after Feburary, after Vegas. It'll do for now. And, it's way, way, way stronger than my last crap. It's equal to.. what David started with!  :o
