I am very satisfied with the purchase of this bag – it is well made, durable and extremely functional. It fits all the essentials, and its compact size means it sits comfortably against the body and doesn't get in the way when worn. The colour and pattern look excellent, and the whole product gives a solid and well-thought-out impression. It works great for everyday use – I sincerely recommend it!

Bag is great, except: The front flap blocks the opening of the front pocket and getting anything in and out is a pain. Only thing i feel comfortable packing inside said pocket are latex gloves cause they remain centered in place inside the pocket and are collapsible/flexible which means that pulling them out/stacking them is a breeze. The inside zipper would've been easier to open if it were placed higher. As it stands, anything taller than the organizer pockets/sleeves situated right beneath it, stands in the way of the zipper pull. I keep this pocket always open and the sleeves packed with gear that doesn't go past the zipper, for ease of access inside the zippered pocket. Initially i wanted to put miscellaneous gear inside this pocket, but you run the risk of blocking the aforementioned sleeves on the opposite side of the wall, so i can only recommend using it for one single thin object - phone, money, documents. I would've liked 2 paracord loops on the inside of the back panel (the hook and loop one), on opposite ends so you can attach carabiniers to them. Something like the Helikon-Tex Possum has, but 2 of them, placed closer to the ends of the bag, considering the rectangle shape of the bag, where some dead space exists, opposed to right in the middle battling for space with other gear.

The bag would be perfect if it wasn't so "thin". When you put something larger than a power bank inside, it deforms significantly. On the plus side, I can mention the comfort of use, the Molle system at the front, the cord at the bottom, the detachable map holder (which can be reversed without needing to cut it), the wearing comfort, the non-loosening straps, and the Velcro panel inside. It would be great if Helikon released a version that could hold more without looking like it was about to tear apart.

The bag is extremely functional, especially for short walks when you want quick access to your essentials without having to take off your rucksack. It fits well with the Raccoon Mk2 rucksack.

This is my second RAL 7013 chest bag from the Helikon brand. Its attachment system with buckle is very practical and makes it very easy to put on or take off. This bag seems to be of very good quality! An item I highly recommend.

Coyote-coloured chest bag from the Helikon brand. Its buckle attachment system is very practical and allows you to put it on or take it off very easily. This bag seems to be of very good quality!!

Very nice bag, additionally it has a strap that allows you to wear it like a waist bag. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. For me, it’s a perfect choice. I recommend both the product and the seller. The parcel arrived very quickly, as always.

This is my first bag of this kind and I am really impressed. I am extremely satisfied. It's truly an excellent product. Usually, various little things like a knife, flashlight, or smartphone end up scattered in my backpack or pockets, but finally there is something ideal. Everything is at hand and organised. You can fit something additional in the pockets, and in the main compartment you can store the most important things. I am very pleased. And, of course, the quality—as expected from Helikon—is top-notch.

A new version of the well-known Numbat chest pack design with the option to use it as a 'quiver of legitimacy'. An excellent choice for travel, daily EDC use, or for isolating your most important items from your larger backpack. The only potential inconvenience is that it can be a bit harder to take items out of the front zipped pocket when the pouch is fully packed, although this is not a major issue. It’s a two-in-one product, solidly made, reasonably priced, and if the promotion is still on, it’s practically a bargain. Really worth it!

The new, larger version of the well-known chest bag from Helikon also does its job excellently, just like its previous model.

A practical bag, everything is at hand and it distributes the weight with the backpack well. Very good quality of workmanship and materials used. This is my first experience with this way of carrying a bag and I really liked it.
