DEYACE Chest Bag For Men, Tactical Chest Pack With Built-In Phone Holder

This DEYACE chest bag has been a fantastic addition to my gear. The build quality is solid, and the tactical-inspired design is both functional and comfortable to wear for extended periods. I primarily use this bag for POTA activations and ham radio-related activities like ARES and search and rescue operations, and it performs fantastic in all those situations. It keeps my essential gear organized and easily accessible, and the built-in phone holder is especially convenient when I need quick access in the field. The fit is secure without feeling restrictive, even during movement, and it holds up well during outdoor use. Overall, this is a practical, well-designed chest pack that I highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable EDC solution for radio or outdoor activities.

The chest pack is very comfortable. The snaps that attach to the sides are circular. That allows the pack to shift without pulling and tugging. This means very little chaffing. As a big guy, this is important for me. I did some errands on foot today and walked about 1.5 miles in total. The pack stayed in place and I didn't need to shift it back to position. I have several sling bags that I have to shift to a more comfortable position when I am in motion. If I wear my sling bag for an extended period of time, my shoulder starts to hurt and my back winces a bit. The weight of the chest pack seems to be distributed well and I didn't experience the same issues. Pros: - Comfortable to wear and easy to get in and out of it. - Easy to adjust to size. I'm a big guy, 280 lbs. / 5'10". So finding things that fit my body type can be difficult. This pack had more than enough strap length to fit me. I had to put it on and off several times to get it to sit correctly on my body but once I had it set, it stayed that way. - The zippers are easy to open and close. They glide smoothly and make it simple to access what I have in the pack. - The front (smaller) pocket is lined with a bright orange color. As an older guy, this makes it easier for me to see what I'm trying to grab because of the contrast. The larger pocket is lined with the same color in the front and black in the back. - The organizing dividers in the pockets make it easier to have things stay in place and clip to the bag. Cons (or things to be aware of): - I live in a hot weather area. Because the chest pack sits in place, it does create a "hot spot" on my chest. It is slightly uncomfortable for me, but I'm used to the heat. It may be different for others. - At the very front of the pack, there are two small pockets. One is zippered and the other is a velcro/snap. They are very convenient, but I wish it were just one big pocket to offer more space. But that's a personal preference. - Space - The space available depends on your usage and preference. For my errands today, I carried: my iPhone, earbuds, keys (home, mailbox, security FOB, office (including mailbox and elevator FOB), bulky car FOB, self-defense metal key chain/rod), face mask, 3 throat lozenges, and hand sanitizer. There was room for more but that's all I needed for today. I would like to use this when I go on long plane trips (usually 4 to 5 times year). But it may just be too small for the things I use in flight. But, again, it depends on what you use it for. Overall: I'm happy with it and will update my review if I run into any issues.

Good durable

I was a ski patroller for 15 years and am used to chest packs. I wish I had found this one years ago. I use this back biking, hiking, skiing, pretty much I am wearing this pack anytime I step outside the house. Absolutely perfect. I spend 10 hours a week working on trails and in a couple of local parks. I want little things with me all the time, phone, sunglasses, gloves, headset, etc. This pack has lots of pockets to carry everything you want to access but don't want the hassle of taking off a backpack to get to. I love it. I wear it constantly. The pack is comfortable and lays flat against your chest but still allows you to carry a lot of gear. When I am working in the parks a lot of the time I have a leaf blower pack on and the chest pack is a perfect companion pack. It is shocking how many pockets and how much you can carry. Probably one of the best products I have bought in a long time. The only trouble with the pack is that it is so good I am going to have to get two more! One for my son and one for my wife. It is a great deal, just get one.

This is ok. The lower straps are made for a larger person than myself. So I took them apart and re-sewed them. Fits better. For a larger person it would be great. All else is good!

Great little chest bag for work. I like this alternative to wearing a utility belt especially long days. The belt always catches on things as you pass by. Not with this.

I'm a large disabled man in a wheelchair and I needed a "man purse," that would help me out. Using the Deyace Chest Rig bag is both masculine and perfect to hold all my essentials. The material used is lightweight and comfortable for when I'm on the go all day. The pros are that it holds everyrhing I need to take with me. The cons are only in the zippers, they're a little wonky. Overall, I think this bag will be perfect for what I need ot for. Thank you, DEYACE.

I love the bag itself but the zippers are poor quality. I ruined almost all of them after just 1 trip in the mountains. I was using this bag while doing work on ropes because I cant access my pockets with a harness on, but in less than 2 weeks all of the zippers failed from dirt and debris. If you never plan on getting any dirt on or around it, it may last longer. I could feel the back elastic parts becoming stretched pretty quickly too. Id prefer a static strap that is reliable. I was able to exchange it for another but I just haven't used it again since I don't know if I can trust it to do the job.

This is one of my favourite bags. It can carry all my essentials & they are available very quickly since they are mounted on your chest. Cel phone, wallet, ID, Metro pass, credit & debit cards. It's useful for short trips around the neighbourhood ... grocery, bank, walks etc. If you're planning longer activities like hiking or work it's clearly not enough; a backpack would be more suitable. However, you can use this pack in addition to your backpack for extra capacity & versatility. It's comfortable for my body type (175 lb. 5' 4") & the straps are adjustable. The MOLLE attachments are a bonus for added adaptability ... attach small flashlight, multitools or simply sunglasses to the outside of the pouch. I've only been using this bag for about 3 weeks so I can't address durability, but the build quality is very good at this price-point & I suspect that it will serve me well for many years. Highly recommended.

I'm very happy with my product, exactly as advertised

So many compartments and so many places to attach stuff!

As someone who EDC's quite a few items, as well as needs access to a variety of tools at work I had tried many options from belt pouches, sling bags and fanny packs (not the most attractive item). After seeing some RCMP officers using chest rigs I decided that I wanted to give them a try. Right out of the box, as a 6'5 280 pound individual it actually fit me like a glove. After a slight adjustment with the shoulder straps it lands exactly where I wanted it, and was super easy to adjust as well. The negatives (although not really negative): I don't see the point of the buckle on the front pocket, so I may look at cutting this off for easier access, as well the carabiner on the front seems very cheap but I have many of these kicking around. The positives: Sleek but roomy, expands to alot of space. Lots of molle straps and sleeves to seperate and hold all you want to carry. Honestly I love it, and at work I will be wearing this every shift all day. If your looking for a small chest rig, this is the one!

When the product arrived, it exceeded my expectations.
