As you know, Hill People chestpacks are well-praised. I liked the look of Marsupial chestpacks also, but because I am a fly angler, I think I will be going with Orvis. Both Orvis and Fishpond make chestpacks that are compatible with their backpacks. This may be relevant for your purposes; I don't know, but I certainly like it.

damn it's actually a bit chilly in this office today

I am happy with the chest rig I got from HPG.

>>2827491
I've got one. It's nice for trail running and if you want a gun accessible but concealed while you're wearing a pack.

What do you use it for?

>>2827491
I have one I use archery hunting. I attached binos and range finder on the front. I put my InReach in the main compartment along with other small items like wind detector, chap stick, lighter, elk calls, etc. I used to carry my Glock in the back pocket but found it too heavy on my back. I carry my firearm on the hip now. It’s been good the last few years but have been considering a dedicated hunting bino/range finder harness.

Bastion Gear is a nice alternative, you should check his wares

I really want a SAR medium but the prices are insane. I just purchased a 5.11 Skyweight Utility for $45 - same functionality at 1/4 the price. I'll get an HPG rig when I'm rich.

Yeah anon, I have a few of their pieces of equipment. All USA made, exceptionally durable and well thought out equipment designed to be used. Also, the brothers who founded it are about as close to modern day Teddy Roosevelt's as you can get-love the outdoors, want to protect it while simultaneously being able to enjoy it, love their country, shall not be infringed, personal responsibility, etc. etc.

-the best day bag I have ever used, probably could use it for light summer overnight as well.
-use it for long day hikes, and also is great for carrying fly poles and a net
-adding the hip belt makes it hilariously comfy and easy to carry more than you would need
-excellent amount of organization and utility, manageable for a few miles all the way up to 20 miles with a full gear load out
Recon Chest bag
-God's plaid
-perfect size for a travel fly fishing pack
-carries my Glock 20 with spare mag, binos, and my bear spray above/outside my waders and water for when I fish in bear country
-very comfy, not nearly as bulky as I was expecting
-carries great when wearing a backpack as well and you want to carry a gat not on your hip
Qui ya light
-bomb proof, huge, exceptionally comfortable to carry a ton of gear and then some
-I loaded it up with 75lbs for 4.5 miles of hill country hiking and while I was working, after I got it adjusted and dialed in I had no hot spots/weird rubbing/aches
I cannot vouch for them enough anon-the company itself stands for a lot you probably agree with and the gear is absolutely unique and borderline invincible, and the utility is unmatched. Downsides?
-expensive (but comparable to higher end gear companies)
-the chest pack will scream at most people "I have a gun or want to have a gun"
-your back will get sweatier compared to the mesh webbing from other bags, but honestly if you get the aluminum stays and load lifters adjusted, you get more ventilation than expected. also, backs sweat regardless.

furthermore, the prairie belt is pretty wide by design, and gets fairly warm. I run hot in general so I generally don't hike with their chest packs (when I need quick access to either bear spray or a handgun for bear country, I keep them on the prairie belt), but the trade off is worth it. I want to get their buttpack to add as a brain for my backpacking kit/a nice lumbar pack for easy front country hikes or in very humid weather.
Get on their email notification for stock updates as they are always sold out, and if you hike in the rain get an extra rain cover. One other downside is that some of their bags are designed to be used with bladdrs (ie, don't have a dedicated hydration sleeve) but I haven't found any pack hard to use with a bladder.

very good if you dont want to take off your backpack just to access your phone or whatever
and its a bigger fanny pack that let you hold an actual bino

Following up on this, the 5.11 Skyweight is nice, especially for the price. The harness is just simple flat strapping which should be comfortable under a ruck. I've taken it for a spin packed with sidearm and a basic load. It rides nice, access is simple and there are two different pull-tab systems between the main pouch and rear pouch. The front of the rear pouch has five magazine loops. It also has a loop to wear the rig on a belt that also works as a velcro patch for a dangler, I'm going to sew up a hand warmer for it for my November hunt. The main pouch has both a dividers and stays to keep it from flopping open.
It makes some interesting updates to the kitbag concept.

I love their CKB. I pretty much only buy cheap shit from amaslop except for HPG. They are the only store I spring for.

>>2827491
The runner chest packs are very aladeen. You can comfortably fit a longslide glock in them. You do start to run out of room if you want your phone/wallet/keys in the outer pouch. The classic size might be easier to deal with.

>>2827491
yes, their chest packs are godlike.

I bought one many years ago and like it.

They are what Mystery Ranch and Kifaru used to be. Real good gear from down to earth people.

Ffs why do you need to larp as a SAR tech?

I went into the store in Junction yesterday. I don't care if they're overpriced, it's just nice to meet normal guys in Colorado still. I'll support them over some fag shit made by jews
