Does the Maxxum have a chest strap? Is it comfortable?

It does have a chest strap. My wife and I both have one of these backpacks and they are extremely comfortable. We use them traveling and they are perfect in an airport. You can carry an amazing amount of things in them and have both hands free. Recommend it.

I does. The comfort is ok, but this is not a good backpack. You can read my review.

It has a chest strap, but due to the weight of the bag, it can add strain to your neck if all of the straps on the bag aren't tight enough. I wish that this bag also had a waist strap. After wearing this all day I usually have soreness in my shoulders, too.

Not a clear yes: It does have a strap to link the two shoulder straps, and that helps a bit when motorcycling or bicycling. However, the "chest" strap is high, right on my collarbones (clavicles) but below the throat.

Yes it has a chest strap. This is the best backpack, computer or otherwise, I have ever owned. I have two of them in fact. This is extremely well constructed, has lots of pockets and places to hang things. Buy one you won't be sorry !

The Maxxum does have a chest strap, and it's east to use and comfortable. After nearly a year of frequent use, I'm completely satisfied with the Maxxum.

Yes, it has a chest strap. As far as whether it is comfortable, I don't think I am a good one to answer that. I have had back problems the last couple of years, so I have been carrying it by the handle or straps and not strapping it to my back.

It does have a chest strap and is comfortable. Typically I have my Maxxum loaded to the gills, and it does not 'dig' into my shoulders.

Yes it does and it is comfortable. Both of my kids use one for school my son has had his for a few years and I got one for my daughter this past year, they love them.

Yes, it comes with a chest strap. I would recommend the screen cover. I didn't buy one when I purchased it. The watch face is durable, however we train hard!

I have a heart rate monitor with a chest strap--it goes UNDER your boobs not over. I am large breasted too, it's not an issue.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

I don't notice the chest strap when I work out. I get sweaty, but not sure if it is waterproof.

No it doesn't its primary connection to you is kinetic in the form of arm movement. What is most critical is in the initial set up with your real weight; because it has a function that determines if you burned a body minimum of calories. It's essential, algorithm based and once it "gets" you it monitors what type of activity you've done and gives a visual of where you stand metabolically for the day. I like mine a lot and I wear it 6 days out of the week. So, to answer your question - no, you don't need a chest strap or any external devices. Hope this helps.

No, the one you see is the only strap. It's very comfortable though, and big enough to wear over your shoulder. Not as a cross-body though.

As a man I have no issues with the chest strap, I always know it there but it's not a all uncomfortable. I would think women being used to a bra would forget they are wearing the chest strap.

It does come with a strap and it's sizable. It can fit my 6'3" 200lb husband and a 5'3" 120lb me and it can go smaller and larger. It's also very comfortable. love this hrm.

Yes, has both chest and hip straps. It's a good pack. Well made. Love the rain fly.

Yes it comes with a chest strap. The strap has a device that sends your heart rate to the wrist device. The strap is made of an elastic material that is adjustable. I am a 48 regular and it adjusted out to fit just fine.

Yes, it has a sternum strap and a waist belt. I removed the sternum strap on mine as I'm tall and the bag isn't that big that it feels loose on the shoulders. It's not technically ventilated I guess, but the padding on the back has channels and grooves in it to help airflow, so it's not just a flat foam pad against your back, there is some topography to it. Try looking at pictures on the manufacturers website, they show stuff in more detail. It's a quality pack!

Yes it has a chest strap which straps on both sides then has the waist connection and it all connects as one.
