Anyone have Kley-Zion Mag Chest Rig?

Recommended Posts

I'll bet $100 that the KZ is the clone of Displaced Texans rig.

 

Botach rips off other companies designs and copies them, selling them under the KZ line. Very unscrupulous.

 

I know first hand a guy that designed a single point receiver end sling mount and asked Botach to carry it. They asked for a sample and he sent them one. The sent him a letter a few weeks later declining to carry his mount. A week later his mount was for sale as a KZ single point sling mount. He threatened to sue, they said go ahead, we can pay our lawyer more than yours and for longer - and that was that.

 

They are crooks.

 

Additionally, that is entirely too many mags on a chest rig. Heavy, uncomfortable, and hinders stable shooting platforms. Hell, the current standard loadout for a soldier going into a combat zone is only 7 mags - 6 on the body and one in the gun.

I didn't notice that rig has double mag pouches. Mine has single, for total of 4 mags. It fits very comfortably with 4.

I agree with H.E. 8 is too many on the chest.

 

Just checked, mine was made by Spec-Ops gear. I bought it years ago, think the design is slightly different now, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one from them.

I have several of their T.H.E. rucks, great quality gear.

Didn't see the 6th row there. Thought the companies names was KZ 12. I agree 12 mags is definitely pushing it.

 

I don't trust the "reviews" on botachs site. That is why I came here. The back elastic piece spanning from the two harness straps looks like it's barely connected.

 

I am going to check out the spec-ops gear.

Are you worried more about cost or functionality?

 

I'd recommend the Original SOE 6-Mag Stacked chest rig over this Botach crap.

 

Only thing is - it's $250.
