Condor Chest Rig: "Medium Duty LBE" by Nutnfancy
This video provides a detailed review of the Condor Chest Rig, often referred to as a "Medium Duty LBE" or "Minuteman Vest." The reviewer highlights its comfort, low-profile design, and capacity for carrying a defensive loadout with approximately four rifle magazines and some pistol/accessory pouches. While praising the well-executed padded shoulder straps and the option for MOLLE webbing, the review points out limitations in its rifle plate carrier functionality, including a poorly executed retention strap and insufficient bib size for SAPI plates. The reviewer notes the fabric quality is good for its price point, though not genuine Cordura, and that stitching and buckle quality are surprisingly durable for a 6-month test despite some initial concerns. It's recommended for civilian and LEO occasional use rather than military applications due to limited MOLLE and potential hard-use failures. The reviewer rates it 7.5/10.
