Pouches
Proper fit is achieved by adjusting the shoulders and cummerbund so that the weight sits at your natural waist above your hips.
Pay attention to the height of the vest and position of the upper magazine pouches, as this will place the padding and magazine pouches in a way that will cause minimal intrusions to the wearer when shouldering a rifle.
To don the rig, simply put it on like a "Jacket" and fasten the two front buckles. It's a one-and-done adjustment!
Common mistakes include wearing the rig too low (at the "belt line" of your waist), Too high (magazine flaps open up higher than your chin) and not tightening the cummerbund enough so that the weight of the rig is entirely sitting on your shoulders.

Made for high tempo counter-insurgency, the P83 design sits tight & comfortable, setting a precedent for the "tactical vest" blueprint.

"What Magazines Are Compatible With The Battle Jacket?"
Below is a detailed list of everything we've tested and confirmed for fit.
Compatible with R4 Vektor (Galil) and STANAG pattern magazines, and partially compatible with Galil and AK 5.45 magazines.
Just like the original battle jacket, unfortunately, the AKM family's longer magazines do not work in the magazine pouches.
Our rig is cut and sewn by an experienced manufacturer in Vietnam.
We commissioned custom-run mesh, 1000D Cordura, and ITW Nexus hardware for consistent, top-notch quality.
You're getting a higher quality product, while matching the original's charm (minus the surplus smell).
Our rig is held to the same standards as modern high-end mil-spec gear is. Special non-reflective fabrics & color absorbing dyes reduces the rig's signature when viewed from night vision devices.

The Pattern 83 Battle Jacket was already my go-to on range day, or even on a hike, and if you're as much of a sucker for a good woodland camo pattern as I am this is a natural next step.
