Important (updated) - pros and cons read before buying.
Pros:Its comfortable when loaded. Seems of good quality. Bought this for hiking when I want to carry less than what would fit in a small pack. Its appealing feature is front access allowing acquisition of needed items quickly. A pack you need to take off, and a sling/shoulder bag needs to be moved to the front of the body to access its contents plus does not distribute its weight evenly. Size wise consider something else if you want to carry more than this which is why I purchased it: two cell phones, wallet, a 12 oz water *flask*, small flashlight, pocket knife, keys, lip balm, 6 x 4” note pad, pen, pencil.Update - while this is generally known as a "chest rig", and they picture the product riding next to the chest it's not the best place to position it. Carrying it lower, closer to the waist, works best. Provides lower center of gravity and easier to access the contents. If you decide to wear it closer to the chest read "Cons" below carefully.Cons:Comes with super long straps that unless you are 250 lbs plus will be too long for most people, and look ridiculous flopping about. I was able to remove the unneeded portion easily. My suggestion for doing so would be first fit this to your body carefully. Load it up, use it as you intend one time, and make sure you are happy with the fit before the next step. Cut the end of the strap to the desired length with sharp scissors at a perpendicular (90 degree angle) following the striations. Take a lighter or candle and lightly run it against the cut edge which will seal the end otherwise it will fray. When using the flame you won’t need more than 1 one second exposure for the entire cut. Longer and it might clump up making it hard to remove the strap if needed.Hopefully you found this review helpful.

It's excellent but has a MAJOR flaw.
Overall, I'm happy with these. There are not a tons of pockets for bulky small items, but if fits more than you would expect. About 3" thick when full. You could fit a small pistol with extra mags, no problem. It's clearly laid out to be for paperwork. A few smaller zipper pockets would make it more versatile. It only has one long zippered compartment inside. Missed opportunity in my opinion.The quality of material is thick and very durable. The zippers are metal! I didn't expect that, but I was so glad they are metal zippers. Good job! The straps are extra long, so it will fit many sizes of people. I'm 240lbs with a 48" chest and there was plenty of strap length to spare. There are strong molle straps on the back side in case you want to mount it without straps. It's very comfortable using the shoulder straps. There is no "waist" strap. I thought it would suck without one, but actually, it's not needed at all.Here is the single flaw and you need to know about it. It is fixable though. The straps attach to the bag using very cheap plastic clamps. I'm serious when I say cheap. They provide spares and you will need them, because they WILL fail if you get snagged on a branch or something. It's a horrible design for securing straps. You can fix this either by replacing them with small carabiners or even zip ties. However, I strongly believe that the manufacturer should redesign this or use metal instead to make it perfect.Why have this one big flaw when you could easily address it to make a huge difference in reliability? I'm giving this 3 stars, because I just cannot believe that the manufacturer did not notice this, and the fact that they include spare clips adds further suspicion. Fix it and I will give it 5 stars.

Good bag for the price
Deployed and needed a small punch or bag to carry iPad to and from work area.1.5 mile walk in heat makes you sweat...on everything. Backpack was to much to carry being 3/4 empty when I packed heavy.Cons: Wish the mole tags were stiff, it is hard to push them through tighten webbing. Opening adjustment cord gets in the way a lot. Will change it out for real 550 cord. Zipper pulls were sloppy.Pros: Inexpensive, sturdy, lots of slots and space, color is true coyote, map pouch is handy for documents but removable when not in use(very smart), Velcro is good quality because my patches stick like glue, Like D rings at top quickly converts to sling pouch( this not a product feature this is the owner putting 2 and 2 together) Overall good product fits my iPad (2019 model, not pro or air) in a case snuggly. If your case is thick and wide it might not fit in one of the slots but should fit inside loose. Little bit of modification, pouch works great. 4 stars because of the modifying and the mole straps. 4.5 is more realistic.

Not for tactical use.
Molle does not line up on military grade equipment. It will work for what I am using it for. Would not recommend for military or tactical purposes.

Very nice chest rig
I purchased this chest pouch setup as an addition to my backpacking equipment so that I could carry items I felt should be more readily accessible, such as GPS, snacks and bug net. I carries a modest weight comfortably, is easily adjustable and doesn't get in the way of my primary backpack when I need to access the chest rig. Holds everything I need. Well constructed, wears well and is very comfortable. A-pluses from me.

Adequate for a good price
Great price. Adequate for my needs. May not be for those that are looking for long term or demanding use. I put mine in my pack to keep things organized. It does that well. If you are looking for military grade stuff, this may not be for you. I am quite satisfied. If it doesn't last the entire apocalypse, then neither will I.

Won't attach to standard MOLLE pack
Straps are spaced too far apart. all 4 straps won't fit on a standard bag.

Broke in 20 minutes
I was so excited to get this in time to take it out into the woods with my kids today and it broke in the first 20 minutes. The stitches gave out where the harness attaches. So disappointed - I has wanted this thing for weeks and finally pulled the trigger. Ugh.
