Chest Pack Numbat Small earth brown / clay

The Chest Pack Numbat Small from Helikon-Tex is a compact chest and hip pack. Its design is optimized for navigation, outdoor activities, and frequently needed small gear. The compact chest pack combines an internal organizer and a removable map case with the option to wear it as a hip pack instead. A removable map case complements the internal organizer for essential information. The bag can be worn on the chest or hip depending on your accessibility needs and other equipment.

A high position on the upper body keeps small gear accessible without interfering with breathing or backpack straps. Alternatively, the model can be worn on the hip. The advantage lies not in maximizing volume, but in ensuring small items remain in fixed places and are found more quickly.

What is the Chest Pack Numbat Small suitable for?

• Navigation and documents: Maps, smartphones, or notes remain visible and accessible in front of the body.
• Fishing, hiking, and outdoor activities: Frequently used small items are accessible without having to take off your backpack.
• Photography and observation: Batteries, memory cards, or compact optical accessories can be organized close to the body.
• As a hip bag: Suitable for daily use or travel when you want the bag to be worn lower and less conspicuously.

Features and use in detail

• Removable map case and organizer: Maps, documents, and small items can be organized separately; the map case can be taken out independently if needed.
• Chest or hip carry: The strap system allows you to switch between a high position on the upper body and a more discreet position on the hip.
• Versatile Insert System: Compatible hook-and-loop organizers can be positioned in the interior and replaced as needed. This ensures the bag has an adaptable layout rather than a rigid one.
• MOLLE/PALS extension: Compatible bags are attached via a standardized webbing grid. This allows for the addition of bottle holders, organizers, or other pouches to suit your specific setup.
• Document and clear pocket: Maps, identification, or documents can be stored visibly and separately from the main contents.
• Clear internal organization: Organizer, mesh, and zippered pockets separate small items from the large main volume. This saves time by preventing cables, documents, or accessories from lying loose at the bottom.
• Adjustable chest strap: The chest strap keeps the shoulder straps in place and can reduce swinging during movement. It should not be worn so tight that it restricts breathing.

Terms and functions explained

VIS stands for "Versatile Insert System" at Helikon-Tex and Direct Action. It refers to a hook-and-loop interior surface where compatible organizers can be freely positioned and later swapped out. This keeps the internal layout customizable.

MOLLE/PALS is a standardized webbing grid for modular bags and mounts. Attachment straps are woven alternately through the loops of the carrier and the bag. Before purchasing accessories, you should compare the width and the number of rows required.

Chest pack refers to a compact bag worn on the front of the upper body. It remains accessible even while wearing a backpack. On long tours, the chest pack should be adjusted so that breathing and shoulder straps are not restricted.

Selection advice

Adjust the straps so that the bag does not swing, but breathing and backpack straps remain free. For heavy or bulky equipment, a backpack is the better foundation. Additional pouches increase weight and outer dimensions; only plan for modules you actually need regularly.
