Chest Pack Numbat Small shadow grey

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. This compact chest pack combines an internal organizer and a removable map case with the option to carry it at the hip instead. A removable map case complements the internal organizer for frequently accessed information. Depending on accessibility and your other gear, the pack can be worn on the chest or hip.

Its high position on the upper body keeps small items within reach without hindering breathing or backpack straps. Alternatively, the model can be worn at the hip. The advantage lies not in maximizing volume, but in ensuring that small items have fixed locations and can be found faster.

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 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 if you prefer to carry the pack more discreetly or lower down during daily use or travel.

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 along 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 at the hip.
• Versatile Insert System: Compatible Velcro organizers can be positioned inside and swapped out as needed. This prevents the pack from having a rigid layout and makes it customizable.
• MOLLE/PALS expansion: Compatible pouches are secured via a standardized webbing grid. This allows you to add bottle holders, organizers, or additional pouches to suit your setup.
• Document and clear pocket: Maps, identification, or documents can be stored visibly and separate from the main contents.
• Clear internal organization: Organizer, mesh, and zippered pockets separate small items from the large main volume. This saves time, as cables, documents, or accessories are not left 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 to the point of restricting breathing.

Terms and functions explained

VIS stands for "Versatile Insert System" at Helikon-Tex and Direct Action. It refers to an internal Velcro surface where compatible organizers can be freely positioned and later swapped out, keeping the internal layout adaptable.

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 purchasing accessories, 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 trips, the chest pack should be adjusted so that breathing and backpack shoulder straps are not restricted.

Selection advice

Adjust the straps so that the pack does not sway, but keep breathing and backpack straps unobstructed. A backpack is a better foundation for heavy or bulky equipment. Additional pouches increase weight and external dimensions; only plan for modules you actually use regularly.
