Helikon Numbat Chest Pack - Shadow Grey

Instead of a belt bag, I chose this product and it works great for forest walks. Nothing gets in the way around the waist, it doesn’t slip down, and all the essentials fit in easily. I have everything at hand – you can even attach your gloves. It’s just a pity that a phone won’t fit into the two front pockets – one larger front pocket for the phone would be a better solution. It’s comfortable to wear, nothing digs in, and it can be easily adjusted.

I bought it with spinning fishing trips in mind and it serves this role excellently. It easily fits all the lure boxes and all the equipment necessary for this method of fishing. I highly recommend this purchase to other spinning anglers.

An excellent alternative to various types of pouches, especially when travelling abroad – you keep everything in front of you and in sight. Very well made, using certified Cordura.

A brilliantly designed and practical accessory with many compartments. It complements your gear perfectly, especially when you take a smaller rucksack for a long trip. It allows for quick access to the essentials without needing to take off your rucksack (and if you've got a camelbak inside, even better). Every pocket is well placed, which helps organise your contents and makes it easier to access items. I definitely recommend it!

I have mixed feelings – there are strong points, but there are also drawbacks. The advantages are solid construction, good quality material, nice colour, practical map holder, and an elastic band securing the pocket. Unfortunately, the front elastic pockets are very narrow and I still find it hard to find a use for them. The internal pockets and organisers, although numerous, once filled make the pocket very bulged. The straps are very short – people with a bigger build might lack adjustment, making it hard to wear the organiser over a jacket or fleece. With a 3XL jacket and a filled pocket, it is difficult to fit it under outerwear, it gets tight. I tested it on a hike in 5 degrees and it quickly started to get hot under the pocket. It's hard to imagine comfort in hot weather with more effort. I think it's worth considering everything carefully before buying.

A great option instead of traditional hip bags or waist packs. It is more stable on the chest. I highly recommend it to everyone, it’s really worth choosing.

I recommend the Helikon-Tex Chest Pack Numbat travel bag – it works perfectly with my backpack, doesn't get in the way, doesn't press, is very spacious and excellent for long hikes.

I use the bag in the mountains when I take a small backpack. I keep all the necessary things in this product, so I always have them at hand. The bag is very solid and does not restrict movement. I recommend it.

A practical and capacious chest rig, I use it, among others, while cycling – it's more comfortable than a waist bag and doesn't cause excessive sweating of the chest. All necessary items are easily accessible. I recommend it!

Great product, works brilliantly during longer walks or hikes. I definitely recommend it!

Well made and practical when going on trips into the wild.

I am very happy with this purchase. I use the bag for hunting – it is very practical and does not get in the way when taking aim. I removed the internal divider with the map holder and now it fits my binoculars with 56 mm glass. It is easy to attach a large knife or a 1-litre thermos under the pocket. Everything is at hand.

Very comfortable chest pack with an interesting design, but it does have some drawbacks. The downside is the removable organiser, whose pockets are only suitable for flat items and are not optimally fitted to the pack – it's better to take it out and buy hook-and-loop inserts. I also don't understand the use of the strap underneath – a better and more universal solution would be a molle strap across the whole width, because currently you can't attach pouches underneath, and the mounting options are limited.

I use this bag on trips with a backpack for the essentials. I have walked hundreds of kilometres with it and I am very satisfied. Previously, I used a waist bag which interfered with the backpack's hip belt. Now, walking is much more comfortable. Solid workmanship – I recommend it.

I am very satisfied. I have everything at my fingertips. Very comfortable for everyday use.
