Eberlestock Bando Bag - an **Almost Great** EDC Fanny Pack / Hunting Fanny Pack

My in Depth Review of the Eberlestock Bando Bag. The Bando is an EDC focused fanny pack with a few neat features and a focus on concealed carry. The bag however does have a few flaws (in my opinion) that really hold it back.

If you have any questions about the bag feel free to drop them in the comments- I'll try to answer anything I can.
Update: I ordered my multicam bando bag on Feb 16, 2024. The "new" estimated delivery time is 6/2/24. 😠

I receive my today in the mail . I like the bag a lot more than the vertex socp. But I was let down completely because the belt is not that long . Doest not work as a sling bag . Wish belt be longer . Unfortunately can not use it .
Wish they could create a solution because really love this bag .

Thanks for rocking the bag and the review!

[@ferrulewax]

Thanks for making great products!

How many liters is the regular sized one? Thanks

[@ferrulewax]

I don't think that eberlestock explicitly states the capacity of the Bando bags, that being said they do list the size of the Concealed carry pocket (5.25”H x 9.25”W x 3”D). Using those specs plus the rest of the bag's size I would guess it is somewhere around 4 liters. Again, that is a very rough estimate. One issue with having multiple pockets and compartments is that you give up some total volume in exchange for the organization.

Hello! advise which bag to choose, standard or hl? I have a gun Fort 17r (Ukraine) 180x132x34 mm

[@ferrulewax]

I am not familiar with that gun, but if it is similar in size or larger than a full sized glock, then I would go with an XL

[@Interesting_Facts_Of_Life]

Is this the XL size?

[@ferrulewax]

Nope, this is the standard size Bando. It will hold a surprisingly large handgun for its size. The XL should hold about anything you want.
