Chinatown Market restocked its special [utility chest rigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood) with two new colorway options -- the practical item was originally launched back in October last year, garnering popularity. The functional wearable is now offered in a checkered black and white or red and white, in addition to the original all-black iteration. The chest rig is constructed to functionally store a plethora of items. This includes [accessible pockets for stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shijimi-bags), lights, drinks, controllers, snacks, cameras, and much more.

There is a [criss-cross strap around the back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coalax-lancer300) so it is comfortable to wear and all the pockets are placed at the front for maximum accessibility. Each pocket also has a flap enclosure to give wearer's the option of securely storing their personal belongings.
