What is the Archeon Chest Rig?
It's an incredibly durable bag with a design that sits between a fanny pack and a backpack. With the Archeon Chest Rig, you can achieve hands-free carry for small essentials with lesser weight and bulk than a regular bag, making it ideal for everyday errands, dog walking, short hikes or even military use.
Like the rest of the updated Archeon range, this chest rig is made with state-of-the-art materials for superior longevity.
What is it made of?
The primary material comprises bluesign® approved, 100% recycled 420D nylon ripstop with a bluesign® approved carbonate coating. Whilst this high-denier ripstop fabric is already incredibly robust and able to withstand regular bumps and scrapes of the daily commute, its carbonate coating takes durability to the next level.
Carbonate-coated materials are five times stronger than other PU-coated materials and 50% more water resistant, leaving your belongings well-protected and drier, too (should you get caught in a downpour). Don't believe us? The proof is in the pudding; when Osprey tested the material for abrasion resistance, it held out for so many cycles of testing that they simply gave up!
The brand has utilised industry-leading materials not only on the main body but also for the trims. Precision laser-cut components, combined with advanced synthetic rubber and CNC machined aluminium, ensure no part of this bag is lacking in technicality. There are no compromises when it comes to the Archeon range!
bluesign® approval means this material and coating are manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are its features?
The running vest-style harness allows you to mount the bag on your body to achieve hands-free carry. All straps are adjustable, allowing you to achieve a precise fit over different layers of clothing.
The placement of the storage pouch keeps valuables like a mobile phone, wallet, keys or doggy bags within reach at all times without getting in the way.
