1. Honest Review: Endless EDC Possibilities Verified Buyer – 10 April 2024

   They have improved this sling to the point that I had to re-buy it! I Really love the bag now and it is my new go-to bag for day to day. I will mention my other go-to bag at the end. Really I would say this is one of the best lighter use EDC bags I have come across. Pro: 1: The strap is now padded and comfortable 2: They removed the Molle webbing on the backside which makes it more discrete, was in a place I would never use it on the old one. 3: Useful storage compartments. My use for this one is light carry. 4: It will hang nicely off one shoulder, my other go-to sling has a padded strap that does not allow this so it is all on or not at all. This one you can cross body or hang off one shoulder. Con: 1: The pocket for “glasses” is not useful for glasses and the zipper is still a pain to close all the way because of the shape of the pocket, still useful but not for glasses. Think Keys, flashlight, etc 2: Wish it did not have the “Viktos black arms company” text on the side, totally gives away the use of this bag but with the midwatch colorway you can’t really see it at all. Another bag to consider would be the 5.11 LV8 Sling bag. That is my other go-to bag. It is a little larger than the Upscale 3 and really more comfortable for hours of use. My use case for the Upscale 3 is literally day to day use. The LV8 is now just used when I will be wearing it for hours at a time. I had a v2 bag and liked the layout of the bag but the sling itself would cut into my neck. I didn’t care for the Molle webbing on the outside either because it was in a place I would never use it and it kinda gives the bag away as a “tactical bag”. Image shows the 5.11 LV8 in black and the Upscale3 Midwatch color. These two bags make for a good range of use. Beyond these two bags, I would just go with a backpack.

   I wanted something for my daily carry. This bag keeps me from carrying too much. Sunglass pocket is enough for glasses but not with hard case. Accessory pocket keeps all of my tools organized and in place. Kinda wish stretch pockets had zippers. Main pocket has enough room for G19, two extra mags and a 8” suppressor. The bag also has two pull handles and four loops at each of the corners making it easy to secure to a plate carrier/larger bag or hang up. Overall the quality is and compact size make it perfect for me

   The bag has a handle for you to pull the bag to your front easier, but as I was using it to hold to zip up the side pocket it had pulled from the part that it was sewn into. I just got the bag and had been pulling the handle as if to bring it to my front with no issues but the one side as seen in the picture broke. I hadn’t yanked the handle while zipping the side, but it still pulled out. The rest of the bag is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect room for pockets and the modular holster fit my firearm well.

   Stays put and is comfortable.

   Quality pack, good zippers, good lining. User friendly design. Easy access. Just a hair too small, however I make it work.

   Customer Service of GRITR: UNSAT!

   The product from Gritr was great. When the top strap broke from normal wear and tear, I contacted VIKTOS, who was very helpful, yet said since it was purchased through an authorized dealer, I would need to go through them. I contacted Gritr via email and received no response. After calling them, I was turned away with the excuse that I needed to contact VIKTOS. I contacted VIKTOS again, and they told me they would honor the warranty. Skip the Gritr/githubja.com kerfuffle and buy direct from VIKTOS.
