SA hippo pouch...

[Dr. X]

A few months ago I purchased a South African "hippo pouch" from a FALFiles member. It has no upper harness and I was curious if anyone might know what type of suspenders were used with these rigs. I have my ALICE harness on it right now, but I would like to find the original setup if possible. The reason the hippo was attractive to me (besides the SA mystique) is it holds twice the magazines of my Alice rig with German pouches attached. Anybody?

as ever,
Dr. X

You need some South African pattern 70 braces. Where to get them and them alone? Not sure....Sportsmans guide isn't showing anything under South Africa

Do a member search on the FALfiles for member name "Quack" he sells PAT70 rigs and might have an extra set of braces.
