Our Jaeger chest rig is a one-size-fits-most rig with the exact same specifications as the original.

i.e., If the original SSO rig fits you, you'll fit in ours.

It features an adjustable waist that accommodates for 26-46" (66-117 cm) or the small end of XS to the large end of 2XL.

The 'yoke' of the rig is also highly adjustable to accommodate most heights. You'll want the rig to sit at your hips for optimal weight distribution and comfort.

Versatility & Style

The celebrated Jaeger design iterates on many popular chest rigs with modular auxiliary pouch placement — and of course, everything is included right out of the box.

If you don't like the grenade pouches, they're removable with PALS webbing behind them!

Comfortable Under Load

The Jaeger's wide shoulder straps & waist strap comfortably distribute the load of your magazines while lying flat and allowing for you to run a pack.

Filled to capacity with everything you need on your excursion, it stays extremely comfortable all day long.

Broad Adjustability

It's important to get your gear dialed in to your body, and the Jaeger has no problem adjusting to sizes from XS to 2XL with ease at the waist and shoulders.

Once you're set up, it's easy to don & doff thanks to it's quick release system and large back buckle.

Perfect for your main

We found that for Russian chest rigs, the Jaeger accommodates for the most rifle platforms without major modifications needed.

AR-15 users: add a mag assist or simply pad out the bottom of the pouch to lift the mags up.

Down To The Details

We've done our best to clone the original fan-favorite, but with enhanced quality control & materials selection.

It's far beyond the "Airsoft" quality of the SSO/SPOSN Jaeger, without sacrificing any of the rugged simplicity of the original.

If you love the original SMERSH or it's derivatives, you'll love ours even more.

Our Guarantee

Once you get your rig, you're covered by our comprehensive 30-day return policy.

if you have any questions about the rig's fit, magazine compatibility, or anything else, you can contact customer support with our live chat or by emailing help@kommandostore.com

X-Harness

The wide webbing & comfortable shoulder straps with clips for extra pouches or PTTs makes for a comfortable system you can wear all day.

Magazine Pouches

Featuring an internal plastic divider, the pouches are designed to hold 30-round AK magazines but works with a variety of platforms. AR-15 Magazines fit comfortably and are easily retrieved using mag assists or ranger plates.

The internal divider is removable, making it a versatile way to carry more than just ammo — extra water, a radio, and more are right at home.

The smaller pouches are perfect for boo-boo kits, compact Tourniquets, compasses & GPS units, and of course, your favorite throwable.

Document Protector

The drawcord attached document holder protects maps & other sensitive docs in a water-resistant package.

Quick Release

Spanish style shoulder harness buckles make quick-doffing extremely simple and intuitive to re-stage. metal hardware ensures this feature will practically never fail.

Don't Got Nades?

The pouches can be removed to run slick or swap with your favorite GP Pouches

As we've directly cloned the original Jaeger rig, the pouches mostly accommodate rifle magazines of the AKM variety. However, we've successfully used the rig with AR-15 mags with mag-assists (made by Magpul & others) to extend the magazine for easier access.

For more specifics, expand the tabs below.

As this is a clone of the Jaeger intended for the AKM platform, expect the classic 30-rounders for 7.62x39 chambered rifles to fit perfectly.

5.45 magazines of the 30-round variety will also fit.

Taller magazines such as the 40 round magazines intended for the RPK will exceed the available flap length on the pouches, and may only be able to be ran open-top.

AR-15 and other STANAG-styled magazines will fit comfortably, however, they may be difficult to access quickly due to the depth of the pouch itself.

You can add mag assists/ranger plates to each magazine or add a filler (foam or plastic wedge) to the bottom of the pouch to make your freedom filled STANAG mags work just as well as the commie mags.

Type-A QC from Arktis

We worked directly with Arktis to bring the chest rig back from 'unobtanium' status in the west.

Compared to the original as well as many poorly made examples in china, the quality is far more consistent — decades of gear-making pedigree and direct oversight of factories from Arktis goes a long way to ensure this rig is the best it can be.

Low NIR Reflectivity

Our rig is held to the same standards as modern high-end mil-spec gear is.

Special non-reflective fabrics & color absorbing dyes make our Jaeger unique in the way it can blend in more with natural environments when viewed through traditional near-infrared night vision devices.

Good Quality Rig for Quick Equipment Access

I want to start off by saying that I don't run any airsoft or proper firearm gear with this rig. I do use it to store critical gear for storm spotting such as my phone, radio, backup radio battery, whip antenna, ID and medical paperwork, and a basic emergency kit in case my crew gets stranded on the side of the road with no cell or radio service. I run this stand-alone while in the vehicle and when I disembark I equip a Smersh in addition to the Jaeger for additional equipment storage, usually water, medkit and other non-critical longer term survival equipment.

The build quality feels extremely similar to my Falcon-III pack which has seen abuse in rocky terrain, caves, and even survived thorns dragging along the fabric. Bottom line is I expect this will hold up well for my purposes.

Fit is great and with a little adjustment it fits around my 320 pound self perfectly and as my weight continues to decrease the fit will get better.

Very Nice

Looks nice on top of Turkish m2021 jacket and field pants. Very budget rusfor. Strong quality nylon or nylon type fabric (I’m not a fabricologist) holds 6 ak mags comfortably and the detachable grenade pouches are comfortable for a skinny guy like me. No grenades on my kidneys. Very nice 5/5 stars

A Very Special Thanks

We couldn't have re-made Russia's most legendary webbing without the help from our friends and fans on Instagram.

We'd like to thank @ruski.operator for aiding our historical research efforts into the rig — much of our copy is drawn from his retelling of the SMERSH Lore.

We'd also like to thank @hotbutteronthemove — an Instagram follower of ours who commented on all of our posts for nearly 2 years, begging us to bring a SMERSH to market. We hope we've granted his wish among many others.
