While a hip holster might work okay for a casual and relatively short walk in the woods or trail with a light-small backpack, this will not be the case for a longer or more strenuous hike especially with a larger backpack and other gear that you may be wearing.
1. A chest holster will be more comfortable.
Shoulder and sternum straps across your torso distributes the weight of the bearspray to your body core rather than hanging on your hip.
2. A chest holster allows you to carry a larger backpack.
Carrying bear spray on your hip will likely interfere with the carry of a larger backpack.
3. A chest holster provides quick access to your bear spray.
Seconds count.
4. A chest holster will carry your bear spray up higher on your chest (hence the name!).
Bear spray is uniquely ready and quickly accessible for draw, even when shouldering a backpack, fishing with waders, etc..
5. A chest holster that fits snug eliminates snags and a floppy can of bear spray.
Hip carry will more likely snag on things while traversing the woods.
6. A chest holster enables a snug carry right in front of you.
Bear spray will not slap or flop around as you move about.
7. A chest holster could be critical during a bear attack. Front access to your bear spray, even during a fetal position could save your life.
