Listen "ChrisCast S2E18: Kit Bags are Kool!"
Episode Synopsis
Who would have thought that the kit bag I have been wearing on my chest since 2014 would become the basis for a super trend in the hip hop community.
Hip hop calls them chest rigs and they're the coolest. But they were the opposite of cool when I started using them. But now, am I cool? Naw!
Over the last couple-few years I haven't gone for a run without wearing my Hill People Gear Snubby Kit Bag on my chest. For me, it's how I like to carry my personal stuff when I am on a run, race, or jog.

It's kind of a unique bit of kit. It's a harness that securely holds a small, two-pocket, 500D Cordura, bag to my chest. It's always accessible and it never jostles or jounces.
The only thing I have against it is that nobody else wears anything like this when they run so the little pack stands out. It's different enough that people ask about it.
I never know where to put my wallet, keys, and phone when I run. I tried SPIbelts and still love them but I was looking for something that kept my stuff both immediately available and also close enough that Bluetooth can clearly transmit from my phone to my wireless Bluetooth headsets.
