Hi Jakub, thank you so much for that! I can’t believe I got them mixed up. I appreciate it and will update the information. I hope you have a great day!
@@CoastieOutdoors No problem. Really cool content. I recently bought the 2 banger and I am loving it. So was looking for other 5.11 products. I did have a great day! Wishing you the same!
Great review! Thanks. The interior organization looks great. But, I’ll save my money for v2. The top strap buckles need to be detachable like the side buckles so it can be easily converted to fanny pack use or removed while wearing a backpack! They should also include (or at least sell as an accessory) a proper slightly padded waist belt to convert it into a fanny pack. It’s shown with the belt from the Skyweight backpack, but that thing is enormous and overkill for a fanny pack, AND not available separately (really 5.11??). It should be a strap that attaches to the side buckles so it’s small and could fit in the pack itself. Also, it would be great if the front pocket had a cell phone camera window like the Vertx SOCP (but better designed than that one). That flimsy stretchy thing seems useless for anything substantial and things would easily fall out if you bend over. What’s your experience using it for your phone? Does it stay in if you run, jog, bend over? It’s almost there and better than a lot of offerings, but misses the mark by too much to make it a compelling product. It’s like 5.11 rushed it to market without really thinking it through and testing it.
Have you ran this all day yet? I’m curious on the comfort of this kit. All of my bags and slings usually get uncomfortable on the 3rd to 4th hour of use because of the straps. Amazing and well detailed video btw 🔥🔥
Hi PickledOtaku, thank you for the great question and support! I have hiked all day in this, and ran about 3 miles at a time. There are good and bad things about the straps. The good is that they stay snug and tight more than any other pack I have used. The padding at the back is comfortable as well. The bad is that, at least for me, the upper straps that go over my shoulder dig into my neck a little too much for comfort if I am running with a crew neck shirt on. If I have a collar or mock neck this is not a problem. I hope that helps and thank you again for the support!
Albeit, a review, it would be good to see how you pack it out (i.e. a logout). Also, did you mention how you came across it? Sent by company? or "scouring" the internet? Either way, cool stuff! I'm new to chest rigs' but just got one as I found myself *not reaching for my binocular, or radio, etc because of having to unload the backpack, etc.
this for me looks .more of a survival pack,the other was a utility pack,but doesnt matter either or,they are both great and i think,it depwnds on the user whats he wanted it for its portable,liteweight n great yeeeaahhh
Its hard to adjust on the move. The quick connect is awful! Its hard to unclip and clip back togetheron the go and are flimsy. It looks like it can break easy standard clips are better. I wanted to use it running. However you have to keep it so tight that it doesn't flop up and down, also makes it uncomfortable and very restricted. As a CCW its ok. I don't recommend it for running.
Im looking for a low profile chest pack to wear on my motorcycle. Do you think this would work well? Conceal carrying in Communist Maryland and dont wanna freak out the people i ride past. Thanks
Hi Manuel, you are correct! I added a disclaimer to the video description that I totally messed that up. I appreciate it and hope you have a great day!
One note - this is the utility pack. Survival pack is the thinner one with MOLLE on the front.

Fellow Coastie here, great to see you out here putting in the work brother. Subscribed.
Fantastic review! I like that 5.11 came out with a less tactical looking option
Thanks Peter, me too!
I may have to get one, thanks for the detailed review Chris!
You're welcome Mike!
Great detailed review
Thank you Misty!
Great attention to detail, thanks for the review!
Thank you for your support Matt!

Definitely going to pick one of these up.
I just bought one, I wanted a way to grab small things easier than out of my backpack.
Hi Robert, great purchase! I completely agree and use mine for the same reason. I hope you have a great day!

audio is fine!
Thank you Enrico! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment and let me know. I hope you have a great day!
The top straps should be detachable
You are absolutely right! I may need to do a follow up to this one. Thank you and I hope you have a great day!
HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO HILL PEOPLE HEAR LARGE KIT BAG OR HEAVY RECON?
Too bad the belt won't slip through if you have pouches, a holster, whatever attached to it. Such a bad oversight.
Hi wakejoe, that is a great point and I would be happy to share that with 5.11. Thank you for your honest feedback and I hope you have a great day!
This looks more like the Skyweight Utility Chest pack. Not the Survival Chest Pack
Hi Manuel, you are correct! I added a disclaimer to the video description that I totally messed that up. I appreciate it and hope you have a great day!
Is tge harness fully detachable?
Where can I find this
Hi Kyle, you can get this in either at a 5.11 store or online at their retail store as well. It is a great product and worth it!
Can you share a link for the life of me I cannot find it on their website.
