Essentials on your chest, always in reach

The 5.11 Tactical Skyweight Survival Chest Pack in Volcanic keeps your most-used kit exactly where you can grab it: on your chest. Wear it on its own or slip it under a rucksack harness so phone, navigation, snacks and survival gear never disappear into the bottom of a pack.

Seriously light, genuinely tough

Built from 330D ripstop nylon with a DWR water-resistant finish, it weighs just 270g yet shrugs off scuffs and light rain. YKK zips and Duraflex buckles handle the daily grab-and-go without complaint.

Organised for quick access

Inside you get structured organisation and retention for small EDC and survival items, so a compact first aid kit, torch, compass or multitool each has its place. The slim 15.2 x 25.4 x 4.4 cm profile stays out of the way on the move.

Made to layer with your loadout

The harness is shaped to sit comfortably under a pack without creating pressure points, making it a natural companion for hikes, range days and bug-out setups. Pair it with more tactical gear at Platoon Stores.

Platoon Stores is Kent’s only authorised 5.11 Tactical retailer, established 2006.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Skyweight Chest Pack meant to be worn?

It is designed to sit on your chest, either on its own harness or tucked under the shoulder straps of a rucksack. That keeps map, phone, snacks or survival kit within instant reach without stopping to take a pack off.

Is it water resistant?

The 330D ripstop nylon has a DWR finish that sheds light rain and splashes. It is water resistant rather than fully waterproof, so it will handle a shower but is not designed for submersion.

How much can a 1 litre chest pack actually hold?

Enough for the essentials you want fast access to: phone, compass, torch, snacks, a compact first aid kit or navigation tools. It is a quick-access organiser rather than a main storage pack.

How much does it weigh?

Just 270g, which is why it is called Skyweight. It adds negligible weight to a loadout and packs down small when not in use.

What colour is the Volcanic version?

Volcanic is 5.11's muted dark earth-toned colourway, a low-profile neutral that pairs well with most tactical and outdoor kit.
