Close Target Reconnaissance — Sniper & Marksman Chest Rig
When the mission demands low-profile and high-mobility, every gram and every centimetre of silhouette counts. The Sniper CTR Rig is built for reconnaissance, sniper, and marksman roles — a streamlined, breathable harness that keeps your loadout tight and your movement unrestricted.
✕ On A CTR Task Your Rig Is Either Silent Or It's A Liability
A standard assault rig is built for volume of fire, not for lying still in a hide for hours. The bulk snags, the double-layer panels trap heat, and the silhouette gives you away before you've seen a thing. This strips back to a single-layer 500D shell that folds flat, breathes, and keeps your profile down — so the rig works with the task instead of announcing it.
◈ 500D Cordura — Weight Savings Without Sacrifice
Single-layer 500 Denier Cordura construction hits the precise balance between durability and weight savings critical for CTR and sniper roles. The foldable central mount panel and air-mesh padded shoulder straps eliminate heat build-up during sustained static or low-movement operations — keeping you cooler, quieter, and more effective for longer.
Minimal profile. Maximum mission endurance.

⬡ Build The Recon Rig
The rig is the platform — the pouches make it a loadout. Run the On the Man Full velcro-sandwich pouch for essential kit on the bib, add a Side Dump Pouch for spent mags, and mount the MOLLE Bino Pouch for optics when the task turns to observation. All configure without adding bulk.
