Does this need a chest strap ?

I don't think it does need a chest strap. I haven't used it yet but it is like a wrist watch that you wear around your wrist. I did at one time have a rowing machine that required a chest strap that would tell your puslse rate. Hope this helps a little.Lana

I just purchased mine last month and it came with a chest strap. Olive green.

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 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 not come with a chest strap and does not indicate one is required. It's supposed to work by simply being on your wrist and using the appropriate buttons. I'm not a fan of the product.

Yes - has a chest strap. I've used it for carrying an inflatable raft and oars - weighs about 55lbs. No issues at all.

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.

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.

Yes the HRM with the chest strap does come with it. And it is surprisingly comfortable.

Yes it has a chest strap, I don't know how much weight it is actually rated for, but Ive packed a lot of meat out of the woods and it's a solid design, I usually load 80-100 lbs and it handles it nicely. Hope that helps

No chest strap. I love this bag. it looks as ggod as the day I bought it, 2 semesters ago! The padded shoulder straps are super comfortable.

No, it does not come with a strap. Or if it did we must have missed it in the box and thrown it away with the packaging. We don't use a strap with ours.

I don't recall a strap. Don't remember if I just didn't use it or it didn't have one. Sorry!

If the arm straps are loose the chest strap is closer to your neck. As long as your breasts are not propped up, it should be ok. You dont have to use the chest strap though...it also has the waist straps.

No it doesn't have a strap. I got a case for it but it didn't have a strap either but then I didn't need that feature.

It must be worn with the chest strap for the heart monitor function to work. All the other functions work without it.

No shoulder strap. There are cloth loops on either side of the bag that could be used for a strap.
