One Bag that Can Be Used as a Chest Bag, Shoulder Bag, or Waist Bag!
Whether you're walking in the city or in the mountains, using a sub-bag in addition to a backpack makes it quick to take things in and out. However, if you hang the sub-bag over your shoulder, there is a disadvantage of weight being biased to one side, and there is a limit to the weight that can be hung around your neck. Even when it is fixed to the waist, there is inevitably a problem with balance and weight.
"There are pros and cons. While shoulder bags, waist bags, and satchels are convenient, chest bags are the best for distributing weight evenly, making it easy to move and take out necessary items in the field. However, chest bags are not readily available. So I thought, why not make one myself?"
