The design of this was driven primarily by canoeing and kayaking, although being on foot or on bike was another scenario I envisioned it for. Out on a large windswept lake and needing to do a map check, unfolding and folding a map is a no-go. Same with things like getting an oft needed piece of equipment out – compass, GPS, binoculars, camera, radio. THings could be worn on a belt, but when seated, as in a canoe or vehicle, it’s both uncomfortable and hard to access items. Up on the chest is a better spot for it.
