We’ve all been there: you’re lugging your heavy pack along some rough trail and you really want that snickers bar… You get the pack off, undo all the buckles, rummage around, your rucksack cover blows away, your sleeping bag gets wet, you finally find the sneaky snickers bar, heft the pack back on, do up all the buckles, struggle to your feet, re-adjust all the shoulder straps, and then it turns out you left your phone in the pack and you have to start the whole palava again. Time to get a chestpack!

My favourite item on my LEJOG hike has to be the chestpack I carried: being able to store your phone, snacks, compass, penknife and first aid kit up front instantly accessible is a big mercy when you’re covering big miles and really don’t want to take off your pack every five minutes.

I’ve improved on the original chestpod by halving the weight, halving the price and using quick release buckles on the new, heavy duty UL suspension system. 7 space age fabrics to choose from.

Suspension system

I’ve upgraded the suspension to use a new extra heavy duty webbing sourced from the UK which is tough and grippy as hell but still surprisingly light. All four of the webbing straps are attached to buckles which allow you to instantly clip them off – no more fiddling with linelocs and caribiners, unclipping one buckle is enough to take your pack off - inconvenience  free.

Dimensions:

  • 21cm wide | 16cm tall | 7.5cm deep
  • 8 3/8 inch wide| 6 3/8 inch tall | 3 inch deep

Weight (includes all four suspension mounts and buckles) :

  • 100D ROBIC® ripstop nylon (all colours) 51g (2 1/5 oz)
  • 200D Recycled  Polyester 51g (2 1/5 oz)
  • LITESKIN LS07 49g (2 1/10 oz)
  • 2.92oz DCF 47g (2 oz)

Fabrics:

100D ROBIC High tenacity ripstop Nylon: 5 colours, a premium, tough waterproof fabric built for endurance with a hydrolysis resistant ultra high tear strength coating and DWR.

200D recycled polyester:  In Basalt Black, a premium endurance woven 100% recycled polyester with an extra thick PU coating for water resistance.

LITESKIN LS07: a hyper abrasion resistant fabric made by the guys behind XPac. 70D ripstop Nylon faced with a poly resin coating make this lighter but tougher. The individual patterning looks simply beautiful. Fabric made in the USA. Carbon mitigated.

2.92oz DCF: The lightest, waterproof to over 20K+HH. Made in the USA it boasts a 500XT dyneema content. Dyneema is the strongest fibre on earth, 15x stronger than steel to be precise. It also has a 50D polyester face to improve abrasion  resistance. Lighter yet tougher, built for the long haul. Dyneema is now synthesised from plants.

2.92oz ULTRA 100: (ultra composite fabric) the same weight as DCF but several times stronger, Ultra is a waterproof blend of 100D UHMWPE (like dyneema) and recycled polyester. The strongest fabric I use, the toughness is double that of 500D cordura despite being a third of the weight.

6 functions in one

As well as being a chestpack the suspension system can be threaded together using the “larks head knot” (it’s not really a knot) to create a big adjustable strap for a satchel or bumbag, you can also make a pack brain and a harness to store a dry bag atop you pack, or clip off everything to use it as a packing cell

 

Mounting the chestpack:

  1. Unclip the four webbing lengths from the buckles. Find a loop or daisy chain on your shoulder straps and slide the piece of webbing under it.
  2. The webbing length has a loop sewn into it at each end. Thread the buckle through the loop et voila: the mount is attached! Do this to the other rucksack strap, and to the hip belt if needed for running etc. Clip the chestpack in using the buckles and you’re ready to go!
  3. Pull on the webbing to adjust it and get it tight so it doesn’t bounce around.

You need two straps to be attached. You can clip a third strap connected to your hip belt if you find your gait causes the chestpack to rock, and a fourth if you’re running and need maximum security.

To remove it you simply need to unclip the buckles. When you need to remove your pack undo the buckles on one side and you can get out, it’ll stay in place so you can easily clip yourself back in.

Waterproofing:

The EVADE chestpack has some water resistance as all the fabrics are waterproof, I’d recommend (like all manufacturers) protecting moisture sensitive items with a zip lock bag as well. It is not "fully waterproof".

About Wild Sky Gear

Wild Sky Gear was started by Skye McGregor, a British 15 year old who hiked Lands’ End to John O'Groats solo. I hiked through the winter and to keep my pack light started making my own gear and then sold some of the surplus. This turned out to be a bit more successful than I had anticipated, and now I’m constantly sewing.

PS: I really appreciate feedback on my items and service. Please let me know how everything is - I love hearing about how you're using my gear and the adventures you're going on :)
