As a self-proclaimed sling bag aficionado, I have to say I've tried them all. From the M-TAC bags, Chrome's sling bags, to all the NICGIDs and every other one you can find on Amazon and I have to say this is the first one that I can't find any major complaints with. The construction quality reminds me of what you used to see when Arc'teryx was still made in Canada. Very thick material, you can see double-stitching where it matters. This bag will last you for a long time. You can tell they put some thought in to the design. The water bottle pouch is deep but not too big and has a nice secure strap you can use over the top. You can adjust the tightness of the strap by pulling a drawstring from the inside of the main pouch. Zippers are quality and aren't loose like some of the M-TAC bags. I like the adjustable strap pad. There are metal clips for keys or an airpod case. I can't really find anything wrong with this bag and considering I have a bag addiction with about 20 of them in my closet, I can say I've tried many and have been disappointed. This bag is worth the extra money it costs. Read more
This is my second Maxpedition bag. My first is a Gearslinger Monsoon that I've had for eleven years, now, with virtually no issues. I was in the market for something smaller and more out of the way, and this popped up in my search. I love this bag. It's stiff, almost too stiff, and based on my previous experience with Maxpedition gear, it will take probably a year of daily use to break in and soften, and that means an incredibly long wearing product. The main inner compartment has a water resistant rain fly that can be tucked inside when not needed, and the rear firearm compartment holds my Sig P229 and a spare mag, thanks to the Maxpedition Sneak retention holster. The water bottle pouch on the left holds a 32 ounce bottle, like the ones that are made by that brand beginning with N, as well as smaller bike/sport water bottles thanks to two types of retention. There's a cinch cord holder, as well as a removable fold over velcro strap holder. All the compartments and pockets have pockets in them. There's so much functional storage, you'd probably be able to watch your kids grow up and off to college before you list it all. This is the best small bag, for all the gear anyone could need for a day out. Read more
Awesome piece of gear, well made and quality materials. It's just not my thing, needed a pack so I sent it back. It holds a ton of stuff, but the sling thing isn't for me. Read more
Bag is fine, no real complaints about it in particular. Arrived in yet another box way to big for the product. My only gripe is that the ONLY thing in the box, was the maxpedition itself. Wasn't in any kind of clear plastic bag from the manufacturer, no tags, no..... nothing. Just found it odd. But the bag will be fine for what I need it for, a get home bag for my car. Had one stolen at some point from my car that I loved! Company name stated with a v, probably all I can say. But this is comparable, different textures and thickness, things I'll have to get used to. But, I know maxpedition is quality stuff. Read more
Solid pack. As expected and will last a long time. Read more
3 stars as the primary issue with this bag lies in the plastic buckles. When the buckle for the main compartment fails, attempts to repair it with epoxy are short-lived. Once the main buckle breaks, the pack becomes essentially unusable. This is particularly disappointing given the durability and longevity of the pack itself. However, the plastic buckles significantly undermine its overall reliability. A more robust solution would be to use lightweight aluminum buckles designed for longevity. Read more
Great GO bag size...not too small like the regular sling bag style and not too bulky like the 2-3 day packs. Fits all the necessary things you would need and none of the overkill and extra weight. Has a carry strap and waist belt for keeping it secure. Stitching and material is pretty durable too. Overall...if you're looking for a bag that's light enough not to slow you down and versatile enough to hold your important gear then I highly recommend. One of my favorite bags so far Read more
OMG! OMG! OMG You guys... I love... Love... LOVE this thing!!! Absolutely awesome for EDC. There's a thousand videos of this on YouTube. It challenges even the best survival gurus! Durable? Check Versatile? Check CCW ability? Check Integrated water bottle holder? Check Organizational ability? CHECK CHECK! Apply a little geometry and some accessories and this is easily a 72hr bag. Get some quality gear and you are looking at indefinite survivability. It is completely modular for an urban environment and blends in well. I can fit this into my ILBE no problem and as an add on it becomes a force multiplier. The hard case versions are NOT better and give up a lot of what this bag has to offer. Don't hesitate... BUY IT!
