Code 11 D3CRM Tactical Chest Rig Vest, Black

You need to carry mags and mission essentials without wearing a full plate carrier. The D3CRM from Code 11 is a chest rig that sits high on the torso, keeping your primary magazines in front and reachable without breaking your line of sight. It's part of Code 11's D3CR system, so the same modular components swap between this vest and their D3CRH backpack, which means you can build one set of gear that works whether you're running light or carrying a pack.

Pouch configuration. Three 5.56 magazine pouches sit across the front, each with removable inserts so you can reconfigure them for different mag sizes or swap in compatible Code 11 panels. Four 9mm pouches sit on the sides — two per side — and they're sized for standard pistol magazines but work equally well for flashlights, multi-tools, or radio batteries. The front utility pocket has an elastic organizer inside and a large hook & loop panel on top for patches, morale items, or compatible accessory panels.

Build and fit. CORDURA fabric throughout, which is the standard for load-bearing gear that sees rough use. At 2.6 lbs unloaded, it's noticeably lighter than a plate carrier while still distributing weight across the chest and shoulders. The rig comes in black, and the matte finish keeps it from catching light on field days.

What it pairs with. The D3CRM is designed to work standalone or under a tactical backpack, and the D3CRH backpack shares the same mounting system so you can transfer pouches between the two. Code 11 makes additional compatible inserts and panels that slot into this frame, so you can adapt it as your loadout changes.

What it's not. This is a chest rig, not a plate carrier. It won't hold ballistic panels, and it's not designed for heavy equipment loads — radios, water, and medical gear belong on a pack or belt. If you need torso protection or plan to carry more than mags and small accessories, look at a full plate carrier instead.

Includes the D3CRM chest rig vest only. Additional panels, inserts, and the matching D3CRH backpack are sold separately.
