East German NVA strichtarn combat chest rig (modern edition)

Wow really nice!!!

What's the base material? Shelter half?

Now that's a unique piece of gear.

Did you make it out of a zelt?

Wow this is great it looks modern, but is made out of old Stricktarn Camo. Brilliant!!

What is the rest of the kit gonna be with it?? Just Curious?

@Murdoc/Azubi: Yes, made from a half shelter. I used the grommets intended for ropes/spikes to create a channel for radio antennas or hydration tubes if I chose to run a small bladder in a side pouch.

 

My casual loadout for small games has always been OD pants, woodland jacket, and a CB chest rig. Now it consists of this rig, a strichtarn jacket, and dark brown pants that roughly match the brown "raindrops" on the camo. I want to put together a small backpack made of strichtarn that could hold a hydration pack and supplies, but for the time being the side pockets here are big enough to hold a couple of Gatorade bottles along with BBs and my radio.
