I didn't even take a look at the Low Vis Rack. I might need to look around before I make my next rig. I knew it wasn't origional, but I didn't think it was as close as it is.

Dude, you own a Hellcat, and you say that looks more like a Battlelab Low Vis Rack?  :shock:

I own a DBT Low Vis Rack and they don't look the same.

In fact there are many differences between his and DBT's.


But I do like his placement of the Fastex buckles over DBT's placement.

Well, my machine isn't industrial. So, I can't take as thick as I want.


This one BEGS for a comment.

But I will remain above that level.

Nate,  Depending on how well this stuff holds up, etc., I might try and sell some of it.  We can talk....

[SOTech] said Multicam was just for airsofters, and they're not making airsoft rigs!  :oops:


Not entirely true...just mostly true....about the "just for airsofters", not that SOTech is making anything in MC.  I've already spoken to Jim about that (owner of SOTech).

Nate....man, you need to eat a sandwich or something...or make your rig smaller so you look like you're not a starving African kid... ;)

The reason I think it looks like a Low Vis rack is becuase of the size. This is quite a bit smaller looking than a hellcat. The mags don't seem to go in as deep, and it isn't as long(in the picture, the Hellcat would almost wrap around nate, becuase it does to me, and we are roughly the same size.

This rack wraps all the way around me. Theres like 2 inches between the sides of it on me.

Did I mention.. it's got two "GP" type pockets on the sides? Cool stuff!

Sweet set up man.  I wish I had the skills (or at least the time to develop them) so that I could tailor stuff to my needs! Im stuck w/ a hellcat that almost touches in the rear and has 3 feet of extra webbing (they really made this thing to fit EVERYONE) hanging off the back.

Very cool, Nate!

I had a Hellcat for quite some time, and currently own a LV RACK.  This is like neither one of them.

Nate, how many passes do you make when stitching down that PALS?  I don't know if your machine is cabable of Bar-Tacking or cross-stitching the webbing, but if not you should make at least 5 passes for it to have decent stength.

About the buckles, have you sought out coyote hardware?  Supply Captain has some 1.5 inch in Coyote and FG 504, and I'm sure you can acquire some larger sizes.  Colored hardware will give it a nice touch!

Thanks for the compliment. I gotta wear it next game!

Before I make the next one, it'll have CB hardware, and etc.

And, on the webbing.. what I do, is I do a stretch stitch (which is like ---, but 3 times over itself) and a Z stitch, as close as I can get on every part that needs it. It'll hold pretty well.. it has, on everything so far. And if it can't take my abuse (yanking items off of them, instead of doing it patiently) then I don't know what can. Hell, the Wasatch has webbing that's starting to become iffy.. but the webbing on the back of my pouches are fine, so far.  If you don't think it'll work, give me other ideas.
