Do Not Purchase A Tactical Assault Vest Until You Go Through These 4 Tips
Safety is the uttermost concern when hunting. Things do go bad and you may find yourself being chased by a huge animal just when your weapon fails. That is when you want to drop all your gear and run for your life.
When I mention gear, most hunters would usually think about the weapons they carry. They forget that a tactical assault vest is also a very important piece of gear. Before purchasing a tactical assault vest for hunting, you need to know a few things about tactical chest rigs before you part with your money.
Length Of Trip
I myself have 2 types of military chest rigs – one for overnight expeditions and another for week-long hunts. Trust me, it is much easier to trace and hunt a rogue elephant than to trace and hunt a menacing tiger. Any tropical forest ranger can tell you that.
Obviously a short trip will require fewer supplies. So, a modular tactical assault vest would serve. I usually hookup 1 or 2 pouches to my modular rig thru the PALS webbing system and combine it with a hydration pack at the rear. The entire ensemble is light and is less certain to get in the way of things.
On longer trips, I use a battle chest rig. It sounds cool as it is. There are way more areas to store stuff and everything is inside close range. There is always the option of just carrying a larger backpack but accessibility would be an issue .
Comfort
When purchasing gear you want to carry around for long periods of time, comfort is an important factor. For a tactical assault vest, the shoulder strap padding needs to be adequate particularly if you’re going to be wearing a larger rig. It is also advisable to make certain there aren’t any pointy bits poking you in the sides or chest when you are strapped in.
Sturdiness
Quality tactical gear is not cheap. This is because they should last a very long time and be in a position to take a large amount of thrashing during the whole duration. Before purchasing a tactical assault vest, make sure you check for loose stitching and fittings that don’t truly fit. If you’re making plans to buy from a web store, ensure it offers an entire life warranty for the product. Most established brands have no Problems offering a whole life warranty.
Safety
As I discussed earlier, safety is highly important when it comes to hunting. You just can’t risk anything when you have live weapons and rogue animals in the equation. There could be a point when you want to dump your gear fast to escape a risky situation. I’d suggest getting tactical gear that has fast release mechanisms and modular packs which are simple to off load if need be.
In summation :
- Get a tactical assault vest that suits your trip length
- Select a tactical assault vest that is comfortable
- Tactical assault vest with quick release buckles are a safer choice
