MFT offers VSO viewers a 20% discount with code “VSO”. Edit; there are some random blue squares that pop up in the video for about a second- those were supposed to be a graphic pointing at the pouch. Looks like premiere failed. Sorry if this is annoying. I’m trying to figure out why this occurred so it doesn’t happen in the future. Thanks
I am totally blind, would it be possible to get the information for the large backpack and the discount code if you respond back to me I can have somebody read it for me and help me order it please thank you, much appreciated.
I got a Viktos Black Arms Compy. It fits my flashlight, knife, ifak, my Canik and 3 extra magazines. For me it works well. Strap is not as comfortable as i would like it to be but its nice enough with two handles for drawing from left hand or right hand sides. The color is like a dark blue and its pretty plain looking. Everyone is different though...
I don't carry off body, unless it's a rifle, then I HAVE to have a bigger bag, at least 24in length for my Virtus but I'm the same way about not wanting anything tactical looking. I've used A Fox Podium for my big Get Home loadout kit, and even though it's a known brand I've used the Vertx Commuter Sling XL 2.0 in very untactical Reef/Mohave to keep the Sig on my in more congested situations. Until 5.11 surprised me wit the LVC Covert Carry pack in bright blue that I can carry 2 rifles in if I need to and it looks even less suspicious because of it's shape.It's an awesome bag.
Vertx makes some decent "grey man" gear. I have one of their sling packs for work and have received compliments on how nice it looks. Smiling, I said, "thank you" knowing they had no idea I was packing inside.
Overall, I think it's universally true that "gray man" is actually how one presents oneself than just having a slightly-less tactical-looking bag. And, unfortunately, these bags are 5 times the cost of basically any used backpack at a pawn shop which will likely lower your potential threat signature.
I've been looking for a new backpack. This really came in handy. Have a BP already staged. I picked it up a day ago and it weighs 50++ lbs. Time to get new BP and remove some weight... Do want molle for a few things....
Thanks for the rundown, looks decent, one correction though... hippies defiantly DO actually put patches allllllll over their bags and clothes! Trust me, I know, I'm a recovering hippie myself ;)
Would it be possible to get the information for the large backpack please? I am totally blind and I am not too good with my technology but if you leave the name and information here, I can have somebody read it for me please thank you, sir keep up the great work.
Grey hombre or no, MFT will always get my attention. and deservedly so. Some brands earn that loyalty because of what they do and not what they say. Many a big name brand will thump their collective corporate chest and claim to champion the 2a cause and then refuse to do business with the millions of us ‘like-minded enthusiasts” on the actual front lines of the 2a fight stuck in gun-hating blue states. The simple act of manufacturing and marketing a full-sized/reduced capacity AR mag that readily converts to standard cap is not only practical, but its also acts as a small reminder that some day Bruen will erase these unconstitutional laws and our mags will runneth over! for this seemingly small decision, MFT has the gratitude and loyalty of this Grey (haired) man
I have a very nice grayman bag that has incorporated 3a armor. But this new bag from MFT is sexy AF. Heavily considering it specifically because it comes in an earth tone colors. One thing I didn't see is if it has a laptop slot that can possibly hold a SRT plate.
I've got the ultimate gray man backpack - a normal backpack I bought at Walmart - looks just like a normal backpack you'd buy at Walmart. This is just a ridiculous waste of money here as you're paying extra money for a normal backpack which has been specifically designed to look like a normal backpack. You want gray man - how's about me tossing a Kel Tec S2k into my laptop bag along with half a dozen 33 round stick mags and it looking just like I've just got a laptop slung over my shoulder? Most normal backpacks have a nice pocket on the back that'll fit most pistols and not be obvious and can also easily fit the S2K or something of similar size. You do not need to drop $150 on what is otherwise a normal backpack "disguised" as a normal backpack.
What you said is so true! They market these backpacks as “get home bags” or “CCW bags” and way overprice them. When you can get a regular backpack that does the exact same thing.
Bag looks great and quality and $$ even without the granola bars. Depends on if you are in DC area or other big run down city, if it is not a cheap and Dirty walmart bag it has something valuable in it worth stealing. I travel to DC and Baltimore . 😢 The bad guys know quality and touristy. May want to dirty it up a bit or your clean nice quality built grey man bag might as well have a flashing strobe light saying look at me
"Hippies don't put patches on their bags" Respectfully, I must disagree. I grew up around classic hippies, hipsters, communists/feminists/Anarchists, etc., they were BIG on stickers, patches, and clip-on buttons, but they were all of a leftward bent like "cOeXiSt" and "save the tata's".
@@VSO_Gun_ChannelTrue, however I just watched that section again and it seems to me that the point you were making was "no Velcro, no patches, or else you're defeating the purpose". All I'm saying is if I decided to head back to where I'm originally from for whatever reason and I choose to carry a bag with a better gun in it, I firmly believe that a patch or a button with certain stuff on it wouldn't be out of place and may actually help you blend better in, say, a solid blue college town like Eugene, OR or Berkeley, CA.
@@MaddieLivingston42069 Tell me you jump to conclusions without telling me you jump to conclusions. "I grew up around", not "I live around". "If I ever went back", not "I still live here and this is directly applicable to me". I left that God-awful state a decade ago due to how bad it was getting. Assumptions make asses out of all of us.
To be urban gray man now , get a set of fake diamond earings ,pant hangin off your 6... Not knockin earings, have them for yrs . ... Nice pack tho 👍👍👍👊👍
Hippies get mil-surp stuff all the time. It’s inexpensive, expandable and lasts, so they buy it; very ironic. Another thing hippies buy; name brand products, that “looks” hippy. I saw tons of this in the Bay Area.
These seem to be very feature-rich! Unfortunately, the colors are still to "tactical" for me. The way I walk, generally present myself, and non-verbally communicate, I'm more easily put into a category of "more likely to be a threat". When I'm seeking real "gray man" effectiveness, like at a mall or a sporting event, I have to dress in ways I'm just not particularly comfortable, like wearing Hey Dudes, or skinny sweats. To best complete the look, I prefer a bag that is more flamboyant or obviously purpose-made, like a bright-colored anime-themed bag, (cringe) or even better, a diaper bag or another child-based bag. Probably my best one is a pink backpack with unicorns and hearts on it, which I found at a pawn shop for $7. As much as I've steered away from 5.11, I did find a new bag of theirs which is bright blue and orange that use as a general EDC bag.
Vernon do you. However these bags are designed to concealing a firearm properly and SAFELY with quick access. I have one, live in Philadelphia and love it. It looks like a great commuter / camera bag thats still stylish and unassuming. For those that say it's too tactical there are tons of people using the standard MOLLE bags whom aren't tactical in any way - bike kids, Union construction workers going to and from sites, gym folks etc. If it fits your aesthetic I highly recommend this line. Plus the fabric finish really sets it apart as a higher end travel bag similar to the Alpaka gear. Just wanted to share my thoughts :D
@@RedArgyleDesign Thanks for the response! I do agree that MOLLE has become rather mainstream, and doesn't scream "Tactical" nearly as much as it used to. I also value a bag that is intentionally designed for securing a firearm. Most of all, I'd just love to see this bag in a few more general colors, like blue or red.

Backpack ccw should be focused on larger guns than pistols.
That backpack screams I’m a grey man and trying to hide my gun from you. Especially being army green.

I see homeless with coyote MOLLE backpacks now. I personally think earth tone molle backpacks have become normal in today's society.
You must be east coast. Out west you see top end REI gear that some rosy glasses gave them
You must have seen an agent of the Bowery King

I was sold on the Devcore backpack until I saw the $500 price. How in the world can they justify that?

Great Gray Man Backpack 👊🏽
Nice!!!!!.
I've been wanting to incorporate a backpack in my every day life and just want something simple and useful that blends in.
Laser cut expansion panel? So low profile MOLLE panel?
I have a very nice grayman bag that has incorporated 3a armor. But this new bag from MFT is sexy AF. Heavily considering it specifically because it comes in an earth tone colors. One thing I didn't see is if it has a laptop slot that can possibly hold a SRT plate.

Can you fit a 10.5" barrel AR with folder in the 30L version?
Those look pretty slick!

Good video 👍
good thing you are gonna buy one...or two, 'cause they are UAF!!!
having any kind of gun-related sticker on your truck is not very gray-man either
EXACTLY!!! Finally Lol 😂 thank you MFT!!! 👍

The OD green color of the bag is a giveaway it’s tactical, hipsters aren’t rocking army green yo….. 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah bro. Checked the backpacks out and they had the brand on the backpack. Lol. Out
OD Green bags scream "I have a gun in me"
It looks like a cool bag but of all colors OD & Tan are both dead giveaways as bad as molle or Velcro
no, go to hipster places, most of those brands like Patagonia, and Northface have started doing that pallet
MFT? The same people that make minimalist buttstocks?
Buy a regular bag then is regular man bag. Even more normal than grey man.

not really greyman if its got a giant logo of MFT which is clearly some tactical name. possibly good product ruined by greedy company.
