From the People's Army to the free market The name Chicom (from the words China and Communist) indicates the creation of the chest rig in the People's Republic of China. In the 1940s, the Chinese army introduced pouches made of tarpaulin canvas and worn on suspenders at chest height, and not on the belt, as earlier. The simple design was economical and comfortable for the soldier. Over the years, many versions of Chicom were created and adapted to the different ammunition, weapons, etc. There were constructions profiled for the PPS submachine gun, the SKS carbine, and the AK 47. The Chicom chest rig became popular when American troops acquired enemy equipment during the Vietnam War. Soon after, this type of chest rigs found its way e.g. to the SOG forces and the Navy Seals. After 2000, Chicom became popular again due to the participation of the US army in the Afghanistan conflict.
