5.11 Utility Skyweight Chest Pack: Champion of Off Body Carry?

[@coultin]

Gen 5 Glock 20 fits fine

[@josephm50]

G17 fits fine

[@johnfaris309]

Gen 3 Glock 21 fits fine. No optic or fancy kydex rig. Just a simple velcro holster.

[@Otero561]

What holster are you using

[@LostLinguine]

I found out that you can get rid of that hangup when using the quick draw strap. Put a piece of thick plastic (or something rigid that wont absorb water) right in the top part of the passthrough for a belt. itll fix that issue.

Thank you for the review, Chris! I agree with you, I think that 1 inch would really help 😬 I’ll be looking for your other reviews on the more expensive options, but I want this for when I go running. Had no idea you had another Channel with your bro, gonna look for that now!

[@LunchTrae]

Did you end up picking this thing up? Looking for something to have while running and I wanted to know if it worked out for you!

[@yokomortel6479]

@@LunchTrae Hi!! I actually ended up joining a gym, for strength training and use the treadmill.. I miss being out in the city. Thank you for reminding me about this!!! The past 2 weeks I have been thinking of taking my workouts back home… sorry about that!! But damn thank you for giving me perspective!

[@LunchTrae]

@@yokomortel6479 Glad I could help 😂

[@haytchdeee3859]

can you loosen the side strap?

[@LunchTrae]

@@haytchdeee3859 not OP but I ended up buying this and yes you can. I love it for running. It’s very comfortable, even with weight.

[@Coppersaguaro]

Beautiful lake and mountains behind you. Where is this? Just bought the sky weight 36L pack and may incorporate this chest rig.

[@severshoots]

Utah lake and the Wasatch front

[@seanehook]

Any ideas where I can get quick tabs for the top? And I’d also like to add another strap to use as a traditional fanny.

[@severshoots]

@@seanehook the quick tabs come attached already. Not sure on the fanny bit. I believe they sell their own belt system for it that integrates

[@seanehook]

@@severshoots the only “quick release” are the sides. Top don’t have quick releases.

[@severshoots]

@@seanehook ohhhh quick release, I was thinking quick pull. I think you can jerry rig something. Not sure they sell specific parts for that

[@MickM-d1i]

Good review

[@ghostdaddy83]

Did you find and or much “bouncing around” with the 5.11 while Running?

[@severshoots]

@@ghostdaddy83 this is the least bouncy pack I’ve had for running

[@ghostdaddy83]

@@severshoots awesome thank you

[@Garcia.234]

In the video at min 13 was it only your firearm in there or you had it full of other stuff looked kind of bulky i would probably only have the pew pew to be honest do you think it would be slimmer without filling the front up

[@severshoots]

Just firearm. I’m looking into slimmer holster setups.

[@thomasfinley7754]

How does it feel with a backpack?

[@severshoots]

Hardly even notice it depending on the straps of your backpack. I use it with a backpack all the time

[@LostLinguine]

Do you think this pack "screams gun" i think it looks like a plate carrier but that may just be me, i dont know what others think of it in terms of looks but i wanna know what you think of the concept.

[@severshoots]

I’ve seen other people run with fanny packs across their chests that look pretty similar. So I personally don’t think it screams gun, and it’s way versatile beyond that. I love this thing for carrying my drone equipment

[@ganydatos]

I have comfortably fitted Glock 20

[@Otero561]

Can you carry a pistol in here without a holster

[@severshoots]

You can but I wouldn’t. Unless it’s something like a revolver with a really really really heavy trigger

[@Otero561]

@@severshoots thank you I’m looking at the vertx tactigami
