Chest Pack Numbat Small black

The Chest Pack Numbat Small by Helikon-Tex is a compact chest and hip pack. Its design is tailored 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 be worn at the hip. A removable map case complements the internal organizer for frequently needed information. Depending on access requirements and other gear, the pack can be worn on the chest or hip.

The high position on the upper body keeps small gear accessible without hindering breathing or backpack straps. Alternatively, the model can be worn at the hip. The advantage lies less in maximum volume and more in ensuring small items stay in designated places and can be found more quickly.

What is the Chest Pack Numbat Small suitable for?

• Navigation and documents: Maps, smartphones, or notes remain visible and accessible at the front of the body.
• Fishing, hiking, and outdoors: Frequently needed small items are accessible without taking 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 when the pack should be worn more discreetly or lower during daily life or travel.

Features and usage in detail

• Removable map case and organizer: Maps, documents, and small items can be organized separately; the map case can be taken along independently if needed.
• Chest or hip carry: The strap system allows for switching between a high position on the upper body and a more discreet position at the hip.
• Versatile Insert System: Compatible hook-and-loop organizers can be positioned inside and swapped out as needed. This gives the pack an adaptable rather than rigid internal layout.
• MOLLE/PALS expansion: Compatible pouches are attached via a standardized webbing grid. This allows for the addition of bottle holders, organizers, or further pouches to suit your specific setup.
• Document and transparent pocket: Maps, ID, or documents can be stored visibly and separate from the main contents.
• Clear internal organization: Organizer, mesh, and zippered compartments separate small items from the large main volume. This saves time, as cables, documents, or accessories are not loose at the bottom.
• Adjustable chest strap: The chest strap keeps the shoulder straps in position and can reduce swaying during movement. It should not be tightened so much that it restricts breathing.

Terms and functions explained

VIS stands for "Versatile Insert System" at Helikon-Tex and Direct Action. Behind it is a hook-and-loop interior surface on which compatible organizers can be freely positioned and later exchanged. This keeps the internal layout customizable.

MOLLE/PALS is a standardized webbing grid for modular pouches and mounts. Attachment straps are woven alternately through the loops of the carrier and the pouch. Before buying 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 with 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 pack does not sway 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 that you actually need on a regular basis.
