7 best unloading vests and RPS
I carry everything with me
Author: Stepan Kagner
Getting out to nature, you will have to grab a good backpack, putting there everything that is useful during a hike. But there is one “but” - in order to get to something, you have to take off your backpack every time. For a tourist, this is not critical: the backpack is dropped on a halt. But a fisherman or a hunter, it is desirable to keep more good under your arms, and then the backpack will not be so convenient. To stuff pockets? Also an option, but there is a more interesting experience. Who has to go a lot with the cargo, which you always need to have fast and convenient access? That's right, the military. So, after a variety of camouflage unloading systems were thoroughly registered in the hunting and fishing life, and some of their elements in the form of the notorious MOLLE system were also prescribed in purely tourist equipment. Do not forget about the fans of airsoft - those who care not only the functionality of the discharge, but also authenticity.
This way of wearing was also appreciated by representatives of absolutely peaceful professions. For example, photographers often also have to carry several lenses with them, spare batteries ... Even camera belts sometimes look like weapons for weapons, well, at least no one has ever thought of attaching to the camera.
If you don’t hit on extreme options like play-carriers (although at the opening of hunting in popular lands, as often joking, armor plates do not interfere), then common types of unloading can be divided into two types. The first is discharge vests, fully and fully consistent with the name: here, pouches or pockets are distributed throughout the body, allowing you to increase the total "useful volume" of unloading to Wasserman scales. If you don’t need to carry so much on yourself, then compact will be more interesting. shoulder and shoulder system (RPS): here the pouches are placed on the belt bandage or bib, which effectively distributes the load and is supported by shoulder straps. They, as a rule, also provide attachment for a small volume of cargo. And, importantly, the RPS do not interfere with lying on the stomach, because pouches hang on the sides and back.
So - what is interesting in our stores?

Rapala ProWear Shallows
6 790
This unloading vest is designed exclusively for fishermen, since the Finnish company Rapala has been specializing in fishing products since 1945, now being one of the most well-known brands in this field and the largest producer of wobblers in the world. The factories of the company are scattered around the world, and there is one in Russia too.
However, back to the vest. It is made of moisture-resistant material, shoulders with neoprene inserts distribute the load well, even if you fill your pockets to capacity. Fishing is necessary not only for warm weather, so the pockets for “hands” have good warming, there you can warm your hands frozen in the wind. The inside pocket is waterproof (here the author remembered how he dried a hunting ticket and a voucher after swimming in the swamp during the spring hunt, and paid tribute to the Finnish prudence), the outer ones are conveniently located and always, as they say, at hand. There is also a panel for hooks.And the rear, detachable pocket at the same time works as a “ventilation window” and, most likely, it is them in the first place - you know, using a pocket on your back is not very convenient. So the vest will help out in the cold and in the heat. Main advantages:

Very comfortable unloading vest. Moreover, the ventilation and competent, you can wear in July and October. |

Spinning Vest, CHF
1 700
The company from Cheboksary does not ask for a lot of its products, so you can reconcile with cheap fittings. The “suit of spinningist” offered to her has a large number of pockets, while ventilation is not forgotten - the nets are enough to go fishing in the middle of July without fear of “frying”. If the weather is surprised by a sudden downpour, it will help out a special back pocket under the rain cover. And next to him a pocket for a flask - well ... you never know, the fish will not peck until it rains ...

The best unloading vests for hunting

Modular Vest Basis, Alloy
5 800
The vest under the placement of MOLLE pouches doesn’t catch the eye of the deliberate militarism, so the classic argument “Well, they'll laugh at me on the hunt” is unlikely to interfere with the purchase. Wide shoulder straps well distribute the load from the weight of the pouches, and the vest itself is sewn from several parts - where the load is less, the “five hundredth” Cordura is used, Hypalon is used in more important places (in fact, rubber coated). A mesh for ventilation is stitched inside the vest, and it can be safely worn at the very beginning of the summer-autumn season, without fear of scaring the game with a stunning "aroma" of sweat.
The vest is worn comfortably - on the belly is a vertical, durable zipper, with which the tensile force is removed by adjustable Duraflex fasteks. And, which is important for hunters, in the shoulder area are added inserts of four-millimeter foam, which reduces recoil when shooting, and left-handers have not forgotten and offended on both shoulders. There are two pockets hiding under the PALS-cells in the front (but, we note, they do not have any water protection, so you should not climb into the swamp), there is a compartment for a two-liter hydrator in the back. Main advantages:

The best unloading vest, in my opinion. On the hunt I cling my cartridge pouches with shops to the “Saiga”, a walkie-talkie, a case with a telephone, and a bastard. When walking, nothing interferes, everything is in its place. |

Hunter's Vest, CHF
1 800
The Cheboksary equipment manufacturer is neither sick with militarism, nor with the new-fashioned MOLLE system - their version of the hunting vest has, we can say, a classic design and a set of “forest” colors instead of “multi-frame” or “numbers”. The pockets are designed for carrying up to 34 rounds, for another four there is a compartment on the left side of the chest - the model is clearly cut out right-handed. Two pockets are located at the back, the entrance to them is sloping for easy access.
Material - cotton fabric, lining - rayon. Thanks to Teflon impregnation, good water protection is ensured, but in the heat there is already a lack of ventilation. Fortunately, the hunting seasons do not have time to particularly capture the hot time, so this can not be called a serious drawback. To adjust the vest for yourself, you can use the side straps. Main advantages:

For a cheap unloading vest is just great, the material and tailoring are not bad, there are even more cartridges than you need to hunt, so there is a place for interchangeable chokes and a few trifles. |
The best military-type unloading

Plate Carrier without a quick reset system, Stich Profi
6 650
The “militarist” profile of the company in Yekaterinburg is in fact the main one, so it’s not surprising that this plononosets is offered in 9 colors, and two of them are available with IR remission. However, it is not necessary to hide from thermal imagers and carry armor plates on yourself, let's look at the “Stichevsky” Player Carrier from a utilitarian point of view.
Well, the "thousandth" Cordura gives reason to not doubt the strength, and the discharge still weighs a little - 1.2 kg. Everything that is possible, sheathed with PALS-cells, you can attach any cartridge pouches here and in the most unexpected places. In this variant, the system of quick discharge and side pouches for shops were removed, which had a beneficial effect on the price. Shoulder straps are comfortable and quite soft, which allows a good load of the vest without discomfort. Opportunities fit for themselves enough for most builds. If we take into account quite lifting prices and a normal level of quality, it would be quite reasonable to give first place in the ranking of the best military-type unloading vests of the Stitch Profi type. Well, the fact that in most of the company's products is clearly noticeable copying Western models, and you can forgive. Main advantages:

Tasmanian Tiger Chest Rig MKII
8 300
The German brand with the production in Vietnam is a common thing for our times, when Southeast Asia became the “workshop of the whole world”. And the trademark belongs to the notorious Tatonka GmbH, which has allocated equipment for a separate brand, designed for the needs of the military, the police, the “gray geese” of assorted PMCs, and even ordinary citizens affected by tactical aggression. Here and immediately pouches under the standards of the NATO standard on the stomach. However, domestic “Kalashnikov” ones also get in there (that is, we immediately add “saiga”, “boiled” cut and “under-cut” calibers). And, since these pockets are not completely closed on top, other things can be stored there, which may require quick access. Lateral pouches unloading - unspecialized, they can be all that is needed. Extensive trimming with PALS cells of the MOLLE system is provided to expand the possibilities.
The unloading material is “seven hundredth” cordura, the belts are equipped with high-quality fasteks. Empty unloading weighs a little over a kilogram, but it has enough strength with a good margin. The front has a compartment for armor plates, another, if desired, in an additional case can be fixed at the back. Well, let's hope that you do not need it. The colors are plain, only four options from black to “olive”. Main advantages:

Shoulder unloading system open MOLLE, Stich Profi
1 465
A good and at the same time inexpensive basis for its RPS, which thanks to long belts is compatible with all types of belt bandages - even with D-rings, although it is necessary to pass the belt through PALS cells. There are two rows of cells on the shoulder straps - the author, for example, hitched a case for the phone on the left. This shoulder system is also part of the ready-made unloadings offered by the Stitch Pro, for example, “unloading machine gun number 1”, but why pay for automatic pouches, if it is more profitable to buy a bandage here to taste and the necessary pouches just for yourself?
The straps are assembled according to the N-shaped pattern, which is uniquely more convenient than the X-shaped one. Sidewall connection - adjustable in length, with a bright color marker of the escape loop. Under the shoulders - mesh, ventilation is sufficient for the heat. Color options are enough for any needs. And all this is for quite sane money, so here too Ekaterinburg gets the first place. Main advantages:

Distributes weight very well, and at the same time shoulders do not sweat under the straps. Generally really liked the performance and idea. |
What to look for when choosing a discharge vest?
Unloading of any type sometimes has to take on a solid weight, so durable materials and high-quality stitching are the default requirements. But then there may be questions.
For example, is it better to choose a classic unloading vest or something on the MOLLE system? The undeniable advantages of the “classics” are completeness, less associated with “war games” style (although this is exactly what is sometimes needed), and the price is usually lower. But what certainly doesn’t take away from MOLL-based unloading, is this functionality: Do you lack a cartridge bag in a particular place for convenience? Well, hang it on this very place, business. That is, the possibilities of fitting “by yourself” are the best here, you can choose your pouches to taste (and even at Aliexpress, the quality of the local ones is quite tolerable at cheap prices) and needs. True, this has to be paid for by the tendency of PALS cells to cling to branches, by laborious cleaning from dirt.
Well, and surely that neither the fisherman nor the hunter will be superfluous is a water-repellent impregnation. We do not live in the Sahara, and we will have to fall under the rain more than once or twice. Have a good shopping!
