Chest Pack Numbat Small stone grey-olive

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

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

What is the Numbat Small Chest Pack suitable for?

• Navigation and documents: Maps, smartphones, or notes remain visible and accessible on the front of the body.
• Fishing, hiking, and outdoor activities: Frequently used small items are accessible without needing 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 the bag should be worn more discreetly and lower down.

Features and usage in detail

• Removable map pocket and organizer: Maps, documents, and small items can be organized separately; the map pocket 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 on the hip.
• Versatile Insert System: Compatible hook-and-loop organizers can be positioned inside and swapped out as needed, providing a customizable, rather than rigid, internal layout.
• MOLLE/PALS expansion: Compatible bags are attached via a standardized loop grid. This allows you to add 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 zipper pockets separate small items from the large main volume, saving time by preventing cables, documents, or accessories from sitting 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. It refers to an internal hook-and-loop surface on which compatible organizers can be freely positioned and later swapped out, keeping the interior layout adaptable.

MOLLE/PALS is a standardized loop grid for modular bags and mounts. Attachment straps are woven alternately through the loops of the carrier and the bag. 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 shoulder straps are not restricted.

Selection advice

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