Haha, I knew you were going to be the first to reply. In answer to your questions. The ESSTAC rig is just 100% Godly. It's pretty much bomb proof. I was lucky and got it for $151Shipped after tax's. When its normally listed for 149.00 Without shipping/tax.
That is correct. A map case from CP. More or less I got it for when I'm doing role playing airsoft games. It's great because the plastic you can draw on. With them frigging white board markers and is easily washed off so the 'bad guys' can't find out our plan and of course protects the map.
A little about the ESSTAC that I have.
Holds 18mags (+1 in the AEG), holds a knife (Amazingly done by Point_Man) A Medic pouch//Commanders pouch *Using as a dump puch, nice and deep* I put the C9 pouch on the back buckel (Holding my Landmine, and on the 2 side pockets is 3 pistol speed loaders and a pair of Tan gloves)*Again amazing work Point_Man* Canteen pouch with the canteen straw (Not seen in pic). To hold 18mags I have used 2x double mag wedges, 2 single mag pouches (On bib of chest rig), and 4x triple mag pouches. And thats the just of it

HIGHLY recommended, to anyone( the ESSTAC rig) Except, I don't wanna hate on anyone but it would be pretty useless to any cadet activity...
