Stabilizer Strap.
Zing Design Camera Case is a quick way to access your camera while providing protection. |

I've seen what you are talkig about advertised, but I would still find that it would be in the way just as much as holding it in one hand. What I mean is that if you are hiking/climbing steep terrain and you absolutely need two hands to steady yourself, then I would think that a camera strapped to your chest would be in a very compromising position.
I have found that the Tamrac Velocity 9 works very well in this situation. It provides easy access to the camera while providing a protected place to hold your camera while you negotiate a particularly rough climb between rocks and trees.

REI hasthe LowePro Top Load AW chest pack. Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?
Photo net has a thread on bikibg with a camera and there is some crossover you might find useful. |

you have a canon, you could tie it to your ankle and it would be happy.... I use one of those retractable dog leases on mine so that it gets a taste of mother earth but will come to me when I need it.
gotta love rugged cameras |

| Thanks for the link on biking with a camera. I wanted to use a bottle mount, but even my Powershot S5 is too big. I picked up a handlebar bag at REI today that seems made for the purpose and should make a good camera case on it own. |
