Review on πŸŽ’ Fitdom Tactical Sling Bag for Men: Durable and Waterproof EDC Bag for Outdoor Adventures by David Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great, works great, just another part of an endless battle for me

I've been looking for the most efficient bag for personal, everyday use and I don't know if this is it the case is. Here's a comparison with everything I've tried combined with my opinion. After that I will list the pros and cons. Skip to the section below if you just want my opinion on this bag I love. -Barbarians EDC MOLLE Sling - 1 ordered, arrived torn at the seams. Returned, reordered, arrived damaged. Time for a new brand. - Red Rock Outdoor Gear Rover Sling - seemed solid although it had a MOLLE length on the sling that came off immediately without provocation. Other than that it held up well, it was just squat and thick and deep and I wanted something taller, narrower and roomier. Later sold as used. - Red Rock Outdoor Gear Large Rover Sling - I liked the profile of the bag, it holds up great and I still have it. But still too deep and wide for my personal preference. - Oakley extractor. Love the style, love the look (minus the bold "O" on the front) and the velcro storage is great. The strap has become too narrow for me, the bag is too wide, it doesn't stand up at the bottom; must be placed on the back. Another problem is that MOLLE straps have two rows of vertical stitching for each division. The second stitch makes it less than 1.5 inches wide which means most MOLLE gear will not fit on the tip. I cut these seams to add some pockets and found this to be just an impractical bag for me other than the internal storage compartments. - Condor MOLLE Hydration Pouch - tries to create a kind of custom MOLLE pouch. She became very heavy and there was no structural support so she could not stand on her own. Tactical belt pouch PlasMeller. ) crazy little. I needed it to be at least 5 inches tall and 8.25 inches long to hold the magazine and this pouch was about 4 inches tall or so. And that's how I came across this bag and the reviews were good so I went for it. So far it has been the most efficient bag of them all. However, I have increased the size of the strap significantly to make it more functional. First, yes, you more or less get what you pay for. This is a super flexible nylon that is not military grade, but higher denier nylons have little to no flex and are uncomfortable. This thing made out of regular backpack stuff is an asset to me. I especially like the orange lining just because it's bright and easy to see what's inside. It is also suitable for a large number of items in several separate bags instead of one large bin. Since it's not a stiff material, it bulges through the padding, so I cut off the plastic D-rings on the front, put on some 1-inch harness straps, and put a single-buckle compression strap on top. It's not necessary to remove the D-rings to install a compression strap, but I also wanted to install a multi-tool, so ma'am. I like to carry a few extra items with me and this bag fulfills that desire. General Personal Pros: - Not very and not too militaristic - Lots of space and organization - Not too big, about 6 inches - Decent orange lining - Affordable and functional But I've encountered a few key issues. I solved the first problem by essentially destroying the bag. Straight straps are not suitable for shoulder bags. The base should be shifted either to the left or to the right depending on wearing preference. Large bags have modular attachment points. This bag has straight straps, so wearing it over the shoulder means that the bottom flap retracts inward at a right angle and the bag tries to sit perpendicular to your body, not flush. It's higher than it is low, which elongates your silhouette and also means the bag won't snag on things. The strap is also a bit flexible, which I find to be problematic, contrary to my thoughts on the material of the bag. So I cut off the straps, sewed up the excess and sewed the extra 1.5" straps through the existing D-shaped strap adjusters. I then attached a modified Hazard 4 shoulder strap with just 1.5" sliding hardware - no other stitching - and it sits flush on my back. I also don't like the soft, breathable sports padding on the back of the bag. It adds too much bulk to me and I really don't need that much clutter for comfort unless I'm carrying 20+lbs. I'd rather go without, but it's not exactly something I can fix without replacing the whole bag again, and I'm not talking about that now. It's too deep for me too. I would have preferred the two front pockets on either side of the main body to be offset for a long, flat pocket and the front to be an open MOLLE sling or large Velcro patch; I had to sew my own velcro in a spot that seems odd to leave it blank. But as I've already written, this is the best bag I've found for my interests. General personal cons: - Straight straps don't go well with crossbody - Orange stitching is visible from outside when bag is full - Empty box above Fitdom logo? Add Velcro, plz. Wings/flaps where straps connect on either side take up space, so front pockets should run on either side of the bag to minimize depth and slim the silhouette. Comfort padding is a bulky and unnecessary luxury. this works until i think i will finally make my own bag as i can but have never done it and also know that it will be expensive and take a long time and i prefer to just buy half a dozen things for 15 or 20 each would by then because I love fail? Well I hope this novel will help someone else in their search for a bag similar to the one I am looking for. I am currently waiting for an order from BDSactical, which also makes tactical waist packs. They have an empty MOLLE panel which I will try to just put on MOLLE pouches and see what happens. Although the delivery time is 3-5 weeks, yes. MUCH LUCK
