Patent attributes
A chest-worn, tactical gear support (CWTGS) assembly includes a cummerbund having an elongate band wrappable around a torso of a wearer with first and second end portions that adjustably engage to fit a girth of the wearer. In one version, a modular gear attachment belt of the CWTGS assembly has equipment receiving features on an outward surface and is releasably engaged on the cummerbund to form a chest rig. The modular gear attachment belt is expeditiously replaceable to reconfigure or replenish gears and stores of the CWTGS assembly. Alternatively or in addition, a tactical vest of the CWTGS assembly includes a front panel and a back panel connected by right and left shoulder straps. A rearward positioned portion of the cummerbund passes through a horizontal back sleeve of the tactical vest. An inner engagement surface of the cummerbund is releasably engaged to a front engagement surface of the tactical vest.
