The LBX Tactical Lock and Load Chest Rig (LBX-0062) is a purpose-built load-bearing chest rig constructed from 500D Cordura nylon, designed for squad-level infantry and tactical operators who need direct-access magazine management without a full plate carrier setup. It carries four dual M4 magazine pouches front and center, adds two night-vision/battery pouches, two utility and fragmentation grenade pouches, and routes antenna wire or hydration hose through dedicated closures on the shoulder straps. Available in Coyote Brown.

Who this is for

• Riflemen and designated marksmen who need fast, organized access to eight M4 magazines in a low-profile load-bearing configuration
• Airsoft and force-on-force training participants who want a realistic, durable chest rig platform at a practical price point
• Hunters and range shooters running carbines who want magazine capacity on their chest without the bulk of a full plate carrier

Magazine capacity and pouch layout

Four dual M4 magazine pouches run across the front of the rig, each secured by a hook-and-loop flap. Each pouch holds two standard 30-round STANAG magazines, giving you a total capacity of eight M4 magazines on the chest. The hook-and-loop closure allows fast one-handed extraction while keeping magazines indexed and secure during movement.

Utility and specialty pouches

Two pouches sized for night-vision goggle units or BA-5590 batteries sit adjacent to the magazine columns. Each closes with a removable elastic retention system backed by a hook-and-loop flap, so the pouches adapt to different payload volumes. Two additional pouches accommodate fragmentation grenades or general utility items; these feature modular PALS-style webbing on the face and a side-release buckle closure for positive retention under load.

Shoulder strap system and wire management

A rear horizontal shoulder strap adjusts via hook-and-loop, distributing rig weight evenly across the upper back. Each shoulder strap includes an elastic hook-and-loop closure channel sized to route antenna cables, hydration bladder hoses, or additional modular webbing attachments — keeping cable runs organized and out of the way during operations. The seven-inch zippered split-front closure opens the rig flat for pack-down or quick access to the interior.

Construction

The shell is cut from 500D Cordura — a ballistic nylon fabric that balances tear resistance and abrasion durability against pack weight. Hardware runs to side-release buckles and YKK-style zippers throughout. The modular webbing on the grenade/utility pouches accepts standard PALS-compatible accessories.

Frequently asked questions

Will this chest rig fit over a plate carrier?

It depends on the plate carrier's profile and cummerbund width. Slim-profile carriers with minimal front-face accessories typically allow the Lock and Load to sit over them, but the fit varies by carrier model. Contact us before ordering if you plan to layer this rig over an existing carrier.

What plate sizes fit in this chest rig?

This is a load-bearing chest rig, not a plate carrier. It does not include plate pockets and does not accept ballistic armor plates. For a plate-compatible setup, pair this rig with a separate plate carrier worn underneath.

Does this come with plates or ballistic protection?

No. The LBX-0062 is a non-ballistic load-bearing equipment item. It carries magazines, batteries, and accessories. No ballistic panels, inserts, or armor components are included or compatible with this rig.

Can I attach additional MOLLE pouches to this rig?

Yes. The utility and grenade pouches feature modular webbing on their faces that accepts standard PALS-compatible pouches and accessories. Shoulder strap closure points also offer additional modular webbing attachment positions.

How do I route a hydration hose through the shoulder straps?

Each shoulder strap includes an elastic hook-and-loop closure channel. Thread the hydration bladder hose or antenna cable through the channel and press the elastic closure shut to keep the line routed cleanly against the strap and out of your field of view or movement path.

Can this be shipped anywhere in the United States?

Yes. The LBX-0062 is a non-ballistic accessory with no state-level shipping restrictions. Standard domestic shipping rates apply.
