NORTHERN WILDERNESS CHEST RIG

Apex Protection for the Backcountry.
When you are miles deep in the backcountry, wearing a heavy pack, or standing waist-deep in a river, a traditional belt holster simply doesn't work. The Northern Wilderness Chest Rig is our take on the legendary Alaskan-style carry. Engineered to keep your heavy-caliber revolver front and center, this rig provides unobstructed, immediate access to your firearm whether you are navigating dense brush, riding on horseback, or sitting behind the wheel of a rig.

Uncompromising Skirt Leather & Exotic Upgrades.
A chest rig carrying a heavy hunting revolver needs a spine of absolute steel. We craft this rig from heavy-duty Wickett & Craig saddle skirting, the same incredibly dense, full-grain vegetable-tanned leather used to build premium Western saddles. To ensure a flawless draw and prevent any wear on your firearm's finish, the holster is fully lined with a second layer of the exact same hide. For the executive sportsman, the holster face can be custom-inlaid with genuine Caiman or Python skin. Finished with a heavy-duty metal quick-release torso buckle and a sliding bullet loop pad, this is the ultimate fusion of wilderness survival and bespoke leathercraft.
