You could buy a Combat Load Vest and some smart pouches out of Arsenal

That's about the closest I've seen in the books, A4BG.  I just ruled with my group that it was part of their Lifestyle payments.  Better lifestyle in clothing, better tacgear they had unless they bought the high-end stuff like the Combat Load Vest in Arsenal.

For the characters I created, I say their Lined Coat (Which is a Longcoat of any sort, like a Trenchcoat or a Duster) has specially made synthleather pockets for the gear.  Lots of room for magazines, gear, and so on.

Oh, Survival Kits come with a Backpack or Courier Satchel.  They'd have to with all that stuff.

MedKits I always pictured as ranging from First Aid Kits to Courier Satchel-sized items depending on their rating.  I usually bought a bunch and left them all over the place, as well as carried one with the character after it's had the bright white with a red cross on it painted over with black paint.  Suddenly a MedKit turns into a briefcase with a shoulder strap!

Page 62.  Fluff is under "Smart Pouches" on the right-hand side, details in the table under that.

If you don't want to look like a paramilitary operative, you could always, y'know, stick the magazines in your pockets.

If you're regularly carrying enough ammo that it won't fit in your pockets, consider the possibility that you might not be doing "shadowruns" anymore.

Some 'runs require that much ammo.

Of course, that's why they made belt-fed weapons.  ;D

nop my point was that even for milk run if you carry any thing that is larger then a pistol you need some kind of rig or meany pockets in your coat or jacket so how do you do it? in game ,you see even if you carry 3 magazines 1in the pistol but the other 2 ?if they in a wide pocket and move that is a problem , mod the pocket? belt holster for magazine? we invest in chr' armor & say we are discreet and then start packing but forget that all this  hit need amo so how do we carry it & being discreet ?

A common, everyday, carried-by-college-students-and-urbanites-everywhere Backpack. Or a Courier Bag, which is basically the same thing but with one cross-body strap instead of two shoulder straps.

Could always get a tailor to sew some extra large pockets into your street clothes. Make sure to custom fit your outfits while you're there, so you can look stylish while shooting people in the face.

Arsenal Page 44, Armor modification rules.  Have the holster built into your armor.

For small events, a satchel.  For big ones, or big weapons, a duffel bag.  If you're a lightly-armored lightly-armed agility monkey, a backpack with the straps necessary to keep it tight against your body.
