CAMP Turbo Chest Ascender
The rollers on this new chest ascender from CAMP of Italy are a big step up for ascending hardware. Normally this would be wear the rope could rub against the device. Placing these rollers here decreases wear and friction, making for a more efficient and smoother ascent.
The Camp Turbochest is extremely lightweight, at only 3.9 oz, designed to lay flat against the chest, and works with ropes from 8-13mm (up to 1/2").

I love the Turbo Foot Ascender so got this since same design. It works just as well and is easy to position on chest harness for smooth ascents.
Best ascender in price range IMO

I made a knee ascender and I love it. I use the eldrid harness and bungee suspenders and it works flawlessly.
