Tasmanian Tiger Chest Rig MKII with M4/M16 Magazine Pouches, Stone Grey Olive IRR

The Tasmanian Tiger Chest Rig MKII offers a whole chest rig system in one package. The vest combines the sturdiness of fixed pouches with the flexibility of the PALS/MOLLE system. The MKII has five magazine pouches in front, which have been fitted snugly for M4/M16 magazines. AK/RK magazines fit quite tightly when you remove the detachable closing flap from the magazine pouches. The utility pouches on the sides have been designed so that they are easy to use when you have a backpack or rucksack and there is another pocket on the inside of the pouches, as well as PALS matrix and D-ring. The vest has a foldable chest flap, with a velcro pocket. The chest flap allows you to carry a ballistic plate. There is a velcro map pouch behind the magazine pouches. The inside of the vest is padded with a 3D mesh, which makes the vest more comfortable and breathable. Tasmanian Tiger tactical gear has been widely used by numerous European authorities.

IRR features Tasmanian Tiger IRR-series was made with the mindset that an opponent might not be just a robber wearing a pantyhose over their head but an operator peering at you with state-of-the-art night vision equipment. The materials are compliant with the official standard of German Bundeswehr. The numbers given regarding reflectivity are as follows: IRR 650 – 1250 nm / 10 – 42%. In layman’s terms, within the wavelength range of 650 – 1250 nanometers the accepted reflectivity is 10 – 42%. Take note that even if as much as 42% reflectivity in longer wavelengths seems a lot, the purpose of IRR is not to make the user a completely non-reflective blob but to make them as reflective as things found in nature! What about the Finnish Defence Forces’ specs? The Finnish Defence Forces specifies IRR values in a slightly different way and per color, so straight comparisons aren’t feasible. However, here are a few range guidelines for different colors: for charcoal within the wavelength range of 750 – 1250 nanometers the reflectivity must be between 4 – 16%. For light green in the same wavelengths the range of reflectivity must be 40 – 60% in lower values and 42 – 57% in upper values. So, in the same ballpark even if the colors and values don’t match up perfectly! Pro-tip: The IRR compatibility of your non-IRR carry gear improves the more you cover it with IRR-compatible pouches, even if it won’t reach the higher tiers of protection.
