The ‘Homefront’ COMMS Kit

The JN I (“John 1”) Chest Rig was made to be customized; its MOLLE webbing on the front and detachable wings carry whatever pouch setup you prefer. We launched the COMMS Kit to highlight that customization as part of the HOMEFRONT Campaign Phase II. Here, you have the very large General Purpose Pouch on the right; the adjustable Radio Pouch on the left; five pistol mag pouches on the front; three rifle mag cells in the center. As with most chest rigs, the JN I works independently and with a carrier. The included H harness (named such because of the back resembling an H adjusts at three points to match your desired size and ride height. To attach to a plate carrier, the swift clips on the harness can be removed and placed on the carrier’s swift clip MOLLE points. A Velcro Delete Panel is also included to aid use as a Chest Rig; this can be removed so the Velcro sticks to the plate carrier when used as a placard. The JN I, like most textile gear in existence, is principally made of 500D Cordura Nylon. This material is favored for its balance of strength and flexibility. The General Purpose Pouch from Armored Republic offers a compact, MOLLE-compatible storage solution for small items you need quick access to, such as GPS units, chemlights, mini-binos, and more. Constructed with tough materials, this general-purpose pouch is built to withstand the rigors of tactical use. Inside, you’ll find an internal divider and elastic loops that help organize and secure your items. These features make it easy to store and access your essential gear, whether it’s for navigation, lighting, or personal use. The pouch also features a Velcro® patch panel on the front, allowing you to display blood type, unit insignia, or any other morale patches. This added feature helps with quick identification and customization, making the pouch even more versatile and user-friendly. The Radio Pouch is fully and quickly adjustable, featuring elastic sides, a velcro bottom closure to adjust radio depth and allow quick MBITR battery change, (without affecting any PTT lead/antenna wiring on the carrier), and a tie-adjustable shock-cord retention band to fit a wide range of radios on the market. It also attaches in multiple ways: it can be mounted horizontally in the six o’clock position using the plate pocket, or using MOLLE webbing. It can also be attached using a hook-and-loop wing panel, which allows the pouch to be positioned to the left or right, under the cummerbund. This frees up MOLLE webbing on your cummerbund for additional gear. The vital nature of portable radio communication has been proven since its pivotal usage in World War II; a dedicated tool for a simple but essential asset. When a quick answer is needed to keep production rolling, Free Craftsmen at Armored Republic communicate via walkie-talkie. The AR Radio Pouch accommodates this tool with no hassle. The Multi-Caliber Pistol Magazine Pouches from Armored Republic accommodate all common pistol magazines in single or double stack form from .22LR to .50AE, and everything in between, including 5.7. Pouches are constructed from genuine 500D Cordura nylon, and retention flaps feature an easy-to-grip Hypalon® pull tab. The removable retention strap allows you to adjust magazine capacity, size, and retention or remove it entirely to run an opened-top configuration. Includes one, two, or three MALICE CLIPS®, as appropriate, to attach to your MOLLE-compatible platform. Water makes up 60% of your composition. When preserving life in tactical situations, armor is critical, but preserving your hydration is equally important to stay in the fight. Beat fatigue and dehydration with the new Hydration Pouch by Armored Republic. An upgraded version of our old pouch, the Quick-Detach design is made to be highly modular, capable of mounting to either the backside of any plate carrier directly using rows of MOLLE webbing or capable of being used individually with included shoulder straps.
