Lightweight Shoulder Rig

We usually make these in black and it's a pain to photograph them on actual people because actual people have arms. Annoyingly, it's frowned upon under British law to remove someone's arm for the purposes of taking a photo (or at all, apparently). When a customer recently ordered a Lightweight Shoulder Rig in Multicam, we took the opportunity to take some photos using our fourth employee: Jamie.

Jamie is our multi-use tailors dummy that we use to demonstrate our wares at shows and events. With a 38" chest, he (or she sometimes) also makes a brilliant fitting dummy for our average clientèle. Built from polystyrene covered with black polyester, it's a bit of a pain to see how our stuff works. However, with Multicam, with the different shaded buckles and straps, it's very easy to see how the rig fits together. This particular edition had a pistol holder for right hand draw and a MOLLE panel for holding either a small zip dump pouch or, in this case, an 1812 magazine holder for extra magazine storage (not shown).

The belt loops secure the hard points to your belt using a simple Velcro system. Older models have a Side Release Buckle there but there was too much stand off from the belt and that caused problems in smaller people. Each hard point is connected to the shoulder strap with a simple side release buckle. In future, we plan to sell hard points separately for the ultimate customisable rig.

The rig over all is as lightweight as it suggests. It is designed to explicitly stay out of the way of most motions when you're moving and playing. By being as low profile as possible, it makes for an excellent addition to any other belt system you might have as there is sufficient stand off to allow you to use use current accessories. It also has the added bonus of introducing people to the MOLLE system which is a fantastically flexible system that everyone in the world ever should be using.

Lightweight Shoulder Rigs can be bought from our online store in black for £28 inc UK VAT. Custom colours and fabrics can be commissioned upon request. The Multicam version demonstrated here would cost you nearer £55 inc VAT as it is a speciality item and we can't order the fittings in such bulk as perhaps we would otherwise to bring costs down. If you're interested in a system that isn't in black fabric, drop us an email and we'll get you an invoice sorted out. There is a chance that we'll start stocking them as a listed item in the future but until then, email is the way to go.

NOTE: The authors would like to apologise for the pug ugly Retaliator sitting in the holster in these photos. All of the pretty blasters are out of the office at the moment so we had to make do with that hybrid abomination. :/
