Where We Began...

In 1983, the first well-known modern chest rig was made somewhere most people wouldn't expect — South Africa. The SADF's "Pattern 83" brought unparalleled versatility with multiple weapons platforms without the need for modification in the field.

In the age of proprietary inserts & awkward adjustments, we thought we should base a do-it-all design off of something that worked.

All Pattern 84 products are designed with this in mind. long lasting durability, tried-and-true attachment & retention systems, and avoiding overly complicated "system building" so you get exactly what you need right out of the box.

If It Ain't Broke..?

The process of modernizing a design like this is a balancing act. Change too little and there’s no benefit to the end user. Change too much and you might ruin what made the original good.


In our view, almost everything about the P83 rig was done right the first time. The philosophy of the SADF is clear, and we agree with their conclusions. We were careful not to reinvent the wheel with P84 — instead we focused on improving what was already there, and putting our customers first when considering any changes.

The STRAPS

Used these to upgrade a WTF turnkey rig and they're the best thing ever. Unlike the straps the rig came with these ones actually have structure and don't constantly try to fall off my shoulders every 5 seconds.

Great split rig harness !

I have 2 of these Eighty Four harnesses . I use both of them on split rigs . A ranger green wetwrx rig &a coyote/multicam TearDown Systems split rig . They work awsome because the padding gives them enough structure that it makes donning and doffing a totally pleasurable experience. I hate floppy harnesses on split rigs yo! Knowing if half the battle!! One critique I have is there needs to be an Eighty Four logo tag sewn onto the harness!

Perfect

Very nice and adjustable, hooks right up to the placard no problem. Took about 5 minutes to get perfectly fit. The little strip of one wrap is super helpful.

84 Harness

Utilitarian and comfortable. I got this H harness to supplement my OR Recce rig because the straps, construction and padding is better. Fits exceptionally well for me, especially with my enormous Lats.

If you want a better H harness for your chest rigs I’d strongly recommend.
