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 makes it fit close to the body without getting in the way while wearing it. The color and design look excellent, and the whole thing 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 weren't for the fact that it is exceptionally "thin." After putting in anything bigger than a power bank, the bag becomes significantly deformed. On the plus side, I can mention the comfort of use, the MOLLE system on the front, the drawstring at the bottom, the detachable map pocket (which can be reversed without the need for cutting), the carrying comfort, the non-loosening straps, and the hook-and-loop panel inside. It would be good if Helikon released a version that could hold more without giving the impression that it is about to tear.

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

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

Coyote-colored chest bag from the brand Helikon. 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!!

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

This is my first bag of this type and I am very impressed. I am extremely satisfied. It's really a great product. Usually, various small items, knife, flashlight, or smartphone are scattered throughout the backpack or pockets, but here finally there is something perfect. I have everything at hand and organized. You can still put something extra in the pocket, and store the most important things in the main compartment. I am very pleased. And of course, the quality, as is typical for Helikon, is top-notch.

A new version of the well-known Numbat chest pack design, now with the option to use it as a 'quiver of righteousness.' A great choice for travel, everyday EDC use, or to separate your most important items from a larger backpack. The only potential drawback is that it can be a bit harder to remove items from the front zippered pocket when the pouch is tightly packed, although that's not a big issue. It's a two-in-one product, solidly made, reasonably priced, and if there's still a promotion going on, you can practically get it for nothing. Definitely worth it!

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

Practical bag, everything is within reach 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.
