    The top straps are detachable
    The pass through is for the rush belt or sky weight

    I'd like a bag like this, but one that either comes with a shoulder strap (for a cross body type bag), or at least can detach the chest rig and have the right connection points for a cross body bag. I want something this size, not the sling bags that seem to be so much bigger. I wish this worked for the cross body bag concept because I like their bags, they are durable and overall well designed, I just have a particular need that I can't seem to find a solution for so far.

    Do you think I can fit a pair of 8 or 10x40 binoculars?

    The front elastic sleeve is for hands free operation of your phone or gps etc

    Excellent review. I’ll save my money for v2. You’re right, the top strap buckles need to be detachable so it can be easily converted to fanny pack use or removed while wearing a backpack!! They should also include (or at least sell as an accessory) a proper padded waist belt to convert it into a fanny pack. They show it with the belt from their Skyweight backpack, but it’s enormous, overkill for a fanny pack, AND not available separately (really 5.11??). Also, it would be great if the front pocket had a cell phone camera window like the Vertx SOCP (but better designed then that one). That flimsy stretchy thing seems useless for anything substantial and things would easily fall out if you bend over. It’s almost there and better than a lot of offerings, but misses the mark by too much to make it a compelling product. It’s like they rushed it to market without really thinking it through and testing it.

      We just got back from an overnight trip and the pack did great. That big front pocket worked really well and was easy to access.

      He is wrong top straps are removable
      Also its a check pack with option of belt carry

      Vertx is overrated

    The 5.11 Pack looks like a real gear lifesaver! Have you tried stuffing it to the max and does it still stay comfortable?

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  ปีที่แล้ว

      With the padding it sits comfortably on your chest and the bigger straps do not dig into your neck. The outer zip pocket is a bit hard to use when it is really stuffed.

    does anyone have a link for the holster? thank you

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have updated the video description with the holster as well. Maxpedition Holster - amzn.to/3Z3IApA (Amazon Affiliate) It is small and simple but works well.

    Unrelated but what is the black pouch on your right back pack strap?

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Phone Pouch. Safe and easily accessible place to put your phone while hiking.

    Anyone know if a full size M&P 9 fits in here?

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A G26 with an extended mag fits well so I would think the M&P would fit.

  • @S.G.K-MILITIA
    @S.G.K-MILITIA ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you add the link to the ccw attachment you use with the extra mag holder?

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They came from a “Maxpedition Gear JK-1 Concealed Carry Pouch” which included the attachments.

    When warring a chest pack it becomes part of your line 1
    Remember when kitting and using
    The tier system is best
    Body is tier one
    Back pack tier 3
    Teri two is plate carrier or vest

    You forgot about the pocket that’s on the very back of the bag, the part that sits on your body

    Nice review video. It's a little funny, but it occurs to me that maybe this is a better design for forgetful kids than a crossbody bag.

  • @firstimeshooter6590
    @firstimeshooter6590 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have one and I feel like this is terrible as a stand alone but along with a back pack it’s great to carry all the small miscellaneous items.

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Very true. It is definitely a purpose built pack.

  • @mixonmixon2723

    I like it. But it falls short of my needs.

  • @kyjelly5524
    @kyjelly5524 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I want something like that just for a pistol. Just 1 gun and no straps. I want it to attach to my backpack straps. I want it small and simple. I have a large pouch but it is too much. I only need it for a gun. I have other areas for my phone keys and wallet. I won’t need that stuff quick access.

    It would have been a better review if you actually test it out in the field first .

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used it on a few trips this summer and all worked great. The only exception would be with all chest packs they can be hot & sweaty in the summer.

    Not good the top straps can't pop off, not practical

    WYNEX tactical chest rig is better.

      What features do you like about the Wynex? Have not seen much about them.

    Looks horrible on though, like some sort of baby carrier.

    • @ExploreTrekAdventure
      @ExploreTrekAdventure  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Chest bags are definitely not a fashion statement.
