Does it require a chest strap

Yes. The strap and transmitter must be used. The more recent models have a little weaker strap than the earlier models, but work as well. I have hours on mine and its worked very well...an occasional battery replacement is needed.

No it doesn't come with a strap. I wish it would have but it doesn't and I don't know where you can get one at.

The chest strap is adjustable. Its not the easiest thing to move but it can be.

Yes it does have a chest strap. I would recommend more than one hundred pounds on it. Its a very nice pack frame.

I did not try to use the chest strap, I ordered it by mistake, it was my fault. So I never returned it

You do not need a chest strap, but I can not make the heart rate monitor work! I quit using it after a couple of weeks.

Are you refering to a belly strap? No it does not but it does have a chest strap but it's a little to short

Yes there is a chest strap. I've loaded about 30lbs. of prospecting gear on it and the load is comfortable. It is all my old parts want to carry, but the frame loaded it out with ease. Not sure about a moose or something...Ross

Yes it comes with a chest strap that monitors your heart rate on your watch. When I am on the treadmill my heart rate shows up on the treadmill monitor also. V

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.
