Vantage 3 · Coming to Kickstarter

Gear Within Reach.Adventure Without Limits.

Vantage 3 is a front-worn adventure chest pack. Your phone, your essentials and your gear ride right in front of you, protected and ready. No stopping. No digging through a backpack.

Why front-worn

Pockets are too small. Backpacks are behind you.

The gear you reach for most should be the easiest to reach. Vantage 3 carries it on your chest, where your hands already are.

  • Reach, don't stopPhone, snacks, keys and layers come out without taking anything off.
  • Capture, no mountYour phone rides lens-out in a protected center pocket.
  • Carry, stay light3.0L+ of real storage without a backpack-sized system.
  • Build, as you goAdd accessories to either side. Leave them home when you don't need them.

Vantage 3 bridges the gap: more capacity than a pocket or waist pack, with access a backpack can't match.

Questions

Good to know.

Is Vantage 3 a backpack?

No. Vantage 3 is worn on the front of your torso only, using its dedicated StaySet harness. It's designed to work on its own or alongside the gear you already carry.

How much does it hold?

At least 3.0 liters of usable main storage. The integrated phone pocket is separate and isn't counted in that number.

Will my phone fit?

The pocket is sized for large modern smartphones, including phones in everyday protective cases. The camera window is positioned to work with the large majority of current flagship camera layouts.

Can I use the touchscreen while my phone is in the pocket?

No. Start recording before you zip it in, or use a smartwatch, Bluetooth remote or voice control. When you need the screen, unzip the pocket and take the phone out.

Which accessories are available?

Four at launch: Optic Shell, Utility Pod, First Aid Pod and Bottle Sleeve. All are black and attach to either side panel with two straps that weave through the slots and snap closed.

When can I get one?

Vantage 3 will launch on Kickstarter. Join the list above and we'll email you the moment the campaign goes live.

What does backing on Kickstarter mean?

Kickstarter is reward-based crowdfunding. Backers pledge to help fund production and receive Vantage 3 as their reward. Backing isn't an equity investment in the company.
