Chest rigs are specialized holster systems designed to be the most practical handgun retention solution for cyclists, hunters, and outdoorsmen. They grant the wearer maximum range of motion during dynamic activities that would otherwise be hindered by a traditional OWB / IWB belt holster.
Unlike most handgun holsters, chest rigs are specifically designed for comfort and convenience. The pistol is worn across the torso at the perfect angle for a quick, consistent draw stroke. Plus, most harnesses can be fully adjusted for the optimal fit regardless of clothing / layers or increased movement during outdoor excursions.
Individuals who utilize chest holsters are able to draw a bow, shoulder a rifle, or carry a hiking pack while keeping their sidearm readily accessible in case of emergency. Few carry positions are as secure and accessible in such scenarios.

Of course, chest holsters become less advantageous outside of the conditions described above. They are not particularly concealable and are more difficult to put on or remove, so they are seldom used as EDC rigs. Because chest rigs are used less frequently, wearers must often practice their draw stroke more when transitioning from more typical carry position such as strong side or AIWB.
If you frequently enjoy the outdoors, then a chest holster might be the right choice for you. These rigs allow you to keep your firearm close at hand while hiking, fishing, hunting, or simply exploring nature.
