Esstac Chest Rig, LBB (Load Bearing Boar)
This new version of the Boar completely integrates the gear mounting platform, the harness and hydration into one system. The hydration pack is no longer a "grafted on" after-thought, it is now part of the overall solution to the second line set-up. The LBB is available in both Boar (8-mag) and Bush Boar (6-mag) configurations.

* Harness and Hydro merged with pass-thru slot for the Boar
* Boar becomes a cummerbund for the system
* Hidden shock-cord lacing allows it to fit from 32" - 56" approximately
* Hydro compartment resized to fit a plate

Esstac Chest Rig, Trim Bush
The Esstac Trim Bush holds up to 4 M4 magazines internally, with or without Magpuls. These integral mag pockets have open bottoms so sand, dirt or water drains immediately. Great for operations ranging from amphibious to mounted and urban. 14 PALS channels to mount your other pouches. Side-release buckles at all strap attachment points for easy on/off. If a different capacity chest rig is needed, the Bush Boar has 2 more M4 pouches, and a total of 16 PALS channels, while the Boar has 4 more M4 pouches and 20 PALS channels.

One of the most innovative features of the Boar system is that the integral mag pouches can be removed and swapped out for a different configuration or weapon system. This makes the Boar the only chest rig that is truly a system and more versatile than any other rig on the market.

Got multiple weapons? Here`s a sample of how the Boar can adapt to your needs. Take the Bush Boar in the 5.56 configuration, which will hold 6 mags. Then add the 7.62 back panel and AK flaps. The back panels can be swapped out quickly and this would give you complete coverage for 3 weapons systems. Since the front remains intact, you don`t have to move utility pouches from one rig to another, or buy multiple complete rig setups!
