1. 4.6 out of 5 stars Verified Buyer – 1 February 2025

   review is for the medium size. obviously, what you need in a “day bag” depends on what you plan on doing that day. but this bag offers a good value proposition for a certain set of use cases. photo depicts a small haul from the farmer’s market that i took on bicycle. lower center of gravity, and unimpeded airflow over my back, are both big pluses on a bike. carrying loads on your hips will always be more comfortable than on your shoulders. and traditional backpacks in the 10L range mostly come with pretty flimsy hip belts, often no more than bare webbing. this belt is wide and mildly padded, and comfortable enough to really cinch down to fully support the load. “but with 10L capacity, how much load could you possibly even carry? why not just a traditional backpack?” a few reasons. a prosumer camera, insulated water bottle, keys, phone, and a snack, for example, will tip the scales pretty quickly. then there’s general comfort; mitigating back-swamp; and ease of gear access. secure the pack on your rear, and sling the shoulder strap diagonally across your chest. need something in a hurry? undo the buckle, swing the bag to your front, access your gear. then swing the bag rearwards and resecure the belt. the bag has never left your person, and is far easier to manipulate than a backpack, especially when wearing multiple layers up top. i’m not currently, nor aspiring to be, an endurance athlete, so i don’t value “hydration pack compatibility” very highly. if i’m thirsty, odds are i won’t mind also taking 5. if you’re just taking a short jaunt, the bag can be carried like a normal shoulder bag with the waist belt tucked away. why not 5 stars? firstly, style. this bag is advertised as a range bag. i’m sure it’s adequate in that capacity, and maybe i will use it as such in the future. but stylistically, this thing is the epitome of tacti-cosplay. that may be a plus or minus for you. the most discreetly-styled competitor with a near-identical feature set is the mountain hardwear, costing several times as much, so the choice was pretty clear for me. secondly, the multitude of zips and webbing can be a bit much. this bag is designed as if you’re going to need to lash on like 10 extra pounds of gear to it. if you think that’s going to be a recurring need, this is not the right size or style of pack for you. i immediately ditched the top elastic tie-down, and will probably change the color of the main zipper pulls for ease of identification. depending on how you’ve oriented the dual-zips of the various compartments, the zipper pulls become a veritable rat’s nest (second photo). compartments = good. not being able to differentiate them easily = not so good. lastly, reliability is, as yet, unknown. it was my sole carry-on for a recent international flight, and it was used every day of an 8-day itinerary. it basically still looks brand new. all stitching in high-wear points still looks intact, and zippers have not ever snagged. but time will tell.

   This thing is a work of art. I own a few different molle bags. Different sizes, different purposes. But this thing beats them all. I only bought this to carry my CPAP machine and accessories on to a plane, but it is capable of so much more. The attention to detail is phenomenal! My trip is a little over a month away and I haven’t used it yet. But I was planning things out in my head as to how to pack it and use it and I started to notice all the little touches that you wish a company would have included but didn’t. Gee I wish there was a strap to hold that loose end. Oh, there is one! Good looking, well made, decent price. What more can you want? And I always look at the one start reviews first to get a sense of what the flaws are. Some are mentioning zipper problems. I don’t know what they are talking about. The zippers are great. And you can use it as a fanny pack too. And it has a strap to carry it over your shoulder and a place to pack it away NEATLY as well. I AM in LOVE. Just buy it already!

   Bought this bag with the intention of using it in airsoft its well. Made and comparable with viper tactical gear in quality I’m happy thus far and it holds an excellent amount of mags and ammo as well as useful molle sections I’ve added my radio to overall very good 4/5

   I bought the larger size bag in camo. I already have backpacks that came with detachable fanny bags, and wanted to see how this compared in size. It is much bigger! More importantly, the zipper on the top of the main compartment goes around the top of the bag, so the flap opens wide and I can put bigger items inside than I can on the fanny pack that only has a straight top zipper. This bag also weighs more than my fanny pack, so I hope that means it has better construction and will last longer. I like the pockets and the inside of each pouch. I think that the MOLLE on the back is for connecting to a tactical H-harness suspender. That would make carrying the filled bag over a long distance more comfortable. Or I could use Blackhawk striker bars to mount it on my MOLLE backpack instead of the fanny pack that came with it. I am happy with my purchase.

   Went through a lot of bags on the web and finally finalized to this one for my best choice. It is for my first aid kit for home, travel, and in case of emergency. Nice size for moderate level first aid. It has lots of inner packets to organize stuff, and also it is tactical Molly bag so I can use some accessories attachment to hold some stuff outside the bag. Great choice. Considering to have another one for my day to day use as well.

   The fabric is great, although I haven’t tested his well does it resist a rain.
   Lots of useful space, 4 pouches: one in the top, one in each side, and another at the front, plus the main one.
   In the main area, I have a Pentax DSLR with a men’s attached, and there is enough space for one of maybe 2 other lenses, depending on the size of these.
   I would have liked it there were some additional padding to protect the camera and. the lenses.
   I use the bag at the waist, and it s very comfortable. Haven’t tried it with the shoulder strap.
