THANK YOU, finally someone who reviewed he bag it self, clear and detailed. Like your systems, I do the same mix equipment with other equipment to get a bag or system that works for me. Thank you for the review. Great job.
Great review! I did a simple mod. I cut the threads from one of the slip pockets to make it big enough to actually fit something in it. Thank you for taking the time.
@@Enjoyyourcarry yes. The one on the right side. I can fit an altoids mint box now. I did it because the slip was kind of hidden and the space too tight. Thinking of cutting the compression straps too.
Nice review. I too wanted to go smaller, down from my LV10 so I purchased it in gray. Looks great. I modified mine as well. I attached a simple sleek sling and cut the compression straps off the sides. I want to love this bag but it is just too tight a fit for my EDC. Especially for off body carry. I pack a Glock 19 and an extra mag. Once that’s in there, it’s hard for me to root around in the bag. And I am a rooter, constantly digging in my bag. So back to my trusty LV10 that I have carried for 3 years.
I totally get you. I was really excited when this bag came out and it’s fun to try and organize for edc, but after you end up loading everything into it that you want to carry it becomes too crowded and cumbersome in actual use.
Nice review, thanks! I bought the LV8 some days ago (in blue ^^) and i really like it! The LV6 is to small for me, the LV8 is perfect in size (and the possibilities to organize your stuff are great). Bigger packs i stuff too much, so they are always too heavy at the end of the day. I bought an additional pouch for a water bottle (the Mammut Lithium), that's much better than something on the bottom. In the CCW compartment i attached an organizer from Helikon where i put my Pencils etc., so i have plenty of space in the main compartment. I had (and still have) a Mystery Ranch Full Moon, but the LV8 works much better for me overall. For me one of the best slings i ever had, and i had too many of them ;-)
Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like a really good setup you have going on. I wanted to really love this bag and up to this point it’s not been deep love lol, but I wonder if I need to reduce some of what I have in there-although I don’t really think it’s overkill when I look at it all! Idk. I want to make it work in a way that I can utilize the internal organization of the main compartment better.
@@Enjoyyourcarry Maybe you should try a 5.11 MOAB 6. I hade one, and it's definitely more spacious. On the other side it looks more tactical *and* it may ride a little bit awkward on your back. Nevertheless it's a really good sling. At the moment i have these items in my LV8: my Smartphone (normal size), a wallet Jack Wolfskin First Class, Maxpedition Mini Pocket Organizer, a box for spare glasses, Mechanix gloves, small soft muzzle for my dog, several pens, glowstick, some shtf stuff like water tablets, survival blanket etc., my Klarus XT2CR, USB loader + cable, hankies, sanitizer, a Mossy Oak multitool and some other smaller stuff. And, of course not always, the Lithium holder + Nalgene bottle. Everything fits perfectly, but i had to fumble around a little bit and try "locations" for the items out. 🙂
Thanks for the review. Deciding factor, and I agree with you main compartment to small for my purposes, if I figure out what I need it for!😊 but I am leaning towards the Pakt. Cheers Vancouver Island Canada.
Nice review. Thanks. It was a little hard to see at times because black bags in a dark environment are hard to see. Perhaps you can use brighter or more lighting (not overhead) in future to brighten it up and cut down on shadows. I'm currently considering their Overwatch 16L briefcase but this looks nice for a small bag.
Thank you. Yes, usually I do my reviews during the day when the natural lighting is good but this one was shot at night and it made for poorer quality I guess. Thank you for the feedback!
Do you know what the internal dimensions are? I’d like to get it for a camera with a somewhat long lens (lens is about 22cm, 24 with camera attached), but not sure if it’d fit (think like a awkwardly shaped 40oz tumbler, maybe little skinnier lol)? Thank you for the video, it was quite helpful otherwise:)
Thank you for the feedback! I don’t have the bag anymore to measure the inside but based on the length you’re describing and knowing the external width dimension is about 35cm, I think it will fit.
It def feels like a large sling, but I was carrying it more like a crossbody at my hip area with the different strap. It’s a lot easier to access when worn like that, imo.
@@Enjoyyourcarry I have a 5.11 rapid sling bag 10L, a little bit smaller than lv10, but it doesn't hold my e-ink tablet very well because the bag is bigger and the tablet gets pumped back and forth whenever I hold the wrong side of the bag. It wouldn't be a problem if the screen wasn't too expensive to replace. Would you recommend if I should just get lv8 and stuff the device in, or get lv10 and get an extra cover for it? The device is 23.5 x 18.5 cm

Thanks so much for your comment, I’m so glad you found the review helpful 👍☺️
Great review, very thorough and your POV is greatly appreciated. Thankyou
Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback!

Nice! One of the slip pockets on the inside wall of the main compartment?

Lv10 is the most completed bag i ve ever used and now cant w8 to have lv8. Guess it ll be better for every day carry.
Let me know how you like it!

Nice to find a video review of this sling! I was hoping to see how looks on you though.
Thank you! I hear you, I have yet to expand my filming skills to try showing the bag on me and then editing the video to look halfway decent 🤪

Yes, it’s a bit tight in that main compartment. Thank you! The pakt sling is one of my faves!
I enjoy listening to you when you review gear :-)
Thanks!
I did the same thing!! I swapped the straps. The lv6 is really a perfect edc go back but need alittle more room
Nice! Cool, creative minds think alike!😉
Superb video! Well done!
Thank you!👍
super video tres bien detaille merci beaucoup
Thank you!
I think the teal color you mentioned is called Blueblood..
I think you’re right!

Interesting. Does it carry/feel like a backpack or sling? Is it accessible on-the-go?
It def feels like a large sling, but I was carrying it more like a crossbody at my hip area with the different strap. It’s a lot easier to access when worn like that, imo.
How big of a tablet/laptop do you think would fit in the tablet space?
The size of a kindle or iPad mini would fit comfortably
What is the material its made of
840D nylon
Do i can use like a waist pack with the original sling?
No it doesn’t work well as a waist pack at all. 😕
Hi, would it fit a 10.3 inch tablet?
It would be really tight. The mini is the only size that would fit comfortably.

@LongHoang-sc7xq if you have a lot of gear to carry in the bag with the tablet then I would go with the lv10 and a good case.
Where can I buy the lvl 6 strap separately?
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like 5.11 sells the strap separately, so I’m not sure!🤔😕
@@Enjoyyourcarry 🥺🥲
I'd like to buy the bag from you.
I’m sorry, I don’t have it anymore. Thanks for checking though.
Hi, how much does the bag weigh
About 2 1/2 lbs! Not too bad👍
@@Enjoyyourcarry 2.5lbs?!😁🤝
@kulmax7.5 yes! Empty, of course
Will this hold a iPad ?
The iPad mini is the only size that will fit comfortably.
@@Enjoyyourcarry Thank you 😊
@dannycrawford13 sure thing!
heeeeyyy what wallet is that? it looks so cool!
Hey!
2-in-1 Magnetic Wallet, MagSafe... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ8M2HX5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
If you decide to sell it, I’ll buy it. Respond to this comment
I actually don’t have it anymore, but thanks for inquiring!

🤷🏻♀️👋🏻
@@Enjoyyourcarry 👌🏻
Seems a purse might serve you better.
Perhaps it would, but that wouldn’t be as fun.
