That is a nice bag, but a bit expensive for myself (yep - I'm a cheap bastard :^). I re-purposed one of those 'tactical fanny packs' (the ones with handgun compartment in front, just like the above), adding a neck strap to the top corners and pretty much ended up with a very similar bag. Very likely no where near as well built as the product shown above.
It looks funny as hell, but it is very handy, keeping the bag from hanging up in the heavy brush. Finding small items is really easy - bag is right in your face. Cool beans.

So long as the weapon itself is not visible, who cares? Does the law require there to be absolutely no visible evidence you are carrying? Or does it merely require the weapon not be clearly visible? When I am carrying concealed (as opposed to openly as I usually do when visiting my son in New Mexico) there is some sort of lump over my left kidney. The weapon is not, itself, visible but it is not a deep, dark secret that I have something behind my back. That is completely legal in Texas. I don't know about elsewhere - nor do I really give a flying crap.
BTW, when I am wearing something like running shorts, I carry my wallet, keys and my weapon in a "fanny pack" on my left hip. (I am a southpaw) That would even work in a nudist resort - not that I would ever go to such a place. ;-)

Pardon, but it does not look discreet. It looks like you are carrying a gun on your chest.
Hardly discreet.

There's nothing discreet about that. Its like a drag bag tried to be a chest rig and failed at both things.
You want to carry a pistol discreetly? Wear work trousers, jeans, or slacks with appendix IWB.
Where kit like that is useful however is in medical applications where you have everything organized in front of you as you work on the patient.
