Are their chest packs worth it?

As you know, Hill People chestpacks are well-praised. I liked the look of Marsupial chestpacks also, but because I am a fly angler, I think I will be going with Orvis. Both Orvis and Fishpond make chestpacks that are compatible with their backpacks. This may be relevant for your purposes; I don't know, but I certainly like it.

I've got one. It's nice for trail running and if you want a gun accessible but concealed while you're wearing a pack.

I have one I use archery hunting. I attached binos and range finder on the front. I put my InReach in the main compartment along with other small items like wind detector, chap stick, lighter, elk calls, etc. I used to carry my Glock in the back pocket but found it too heavy on my back. I carry my firearm on the hip now. It’s been good the last few years but have been considering a dedicated hunting bino/range finder harness.

I really want a SAR medium but the prices are insane. I just purchased a 5.11 Skyweight Utility for $45 - same functionality at 1/4 the price. I'll get an HPG rig when I'm rich.

Yeah anon, I have a few of their pieces of equipment. All USA made, exceptionally durable and well thought out equipment designed to be used. Also, the brothers who founded it are about as close to modern day Teddy Roosevelt's as you can get-love the outdoors, want to protect it while simultaneously being able to enjoy it, love their country, shall not be infringed, personal responsibility, etc. etc.

-the best day bag I have ever used, probably could use it for light summer overnight as well.
-use it for long day hikes, and also is great for carrying fly poles and a net
-adding the hip belt makes it hilariously comfy and easy to carry more than you would need
-excellent amount of organization and utility, manageable for a few miles all the way up to 20 miles with a full gear load out
Recon Chest bag
-God's plaid
-perfect size for a travel fly fishing pack
-carries my Glock 20 with spare mag, binos, and my bear spray above/outside my waders and water for when I fish in bear country
-very comfy, not nearly as bulky as I was expecting
-carries great when wearing a backpack as well and you want to carry a gat not on your hip
Qui ya light
-bomb proof, huge, exceptionally comfortable to carry a ton of gear and then some
-I loaded it up with 75lbs for 4.5 miles of hill country hiking and while I was working, after I got it adjusted and dialed in I had no hot spots/weird rubbing/aches
I cannot vouch for them enough anon-the company itself stands for a lot you probably agree with and the gear is absolutely unique and borderline invincible, and the utility is unmatched. Downsides?
-expensive (but comparable to higher end gear companies)
-the chest pack will scream at most people "I have a gun or want to have a gun"
-your back will get sweatier compared to the mesh webbing from other bags, but honestly if you get the aluminum stays and load lifters adjusted, you get more ventilation than expected. also, backs sweat regardless.

furthermore, the prairie belt is pretty wide by design, and gets fairly warm. I run hot in general so I generally don't hike with their chest packs (when I need quick access to either bear spray or a handgun for bear country, I keep them on the prairie belt), but the trade off is worth it. I want to get their buttpack to add as a brain for my backpacking kit/a nice lumbar pack for easy front country hikes or in very humid weather.
Get on their email notification for stock updates as they are always sold out, and if you hike in the rain get an extra rain cover. One other downside is that some of their bags are designed to be used with bladdrs (ie, don't have a dedicated hydration sleeve) but I haven't found any pack hard to use with a bladder.
