I believe those small hidden pockets are for RFID card to get in buildings or whatever. Love the review and can’t wait to get mine. It should be here Wednesday!
This is why I love y’all. Thank you! I live in a city without good public transport so I just don’t think about that. I wanted it to be a secret pocket knife pocket!
Hi.. enjoy your detail review 👍🏻😀. I own this metrorunner for 8 months and been using it for short distance trip casual meeting with friends to nearby cafe, shopping, cycling and cinema with just only my daily EDC. Main compartment house my mini camera, mini umbrella and my tech pouch. Front compartment will house tissues, additional face mask and blue tooth controller and earbuds.. In the event of rainy days I am caught in rain.. I can easily dump my phone and wallet in as this sling bag exterior material and zippers are weather resistance. Metrorunner and Metromonger had been my daily EDC bag ever since I own them due to their functionality and resistance to rain. Hope to see u doing reviews on Greenroom 136 other products like the genesis backpack and Attache messenger bag. 😃
I have stashed some 1m thin hooked straps in those hidden pockets. They fit in there nicely and are out of sight until I need them. Usefull for example when I want to take off my jacket and attach it to the outside of the bag! Also, for Steamdeck lovers: The Valveboy fits nicely in the main compartment in a tomtoc carrying case. The case that comes with the console is too big.
Those tiny pockets on the bottom are for electronic door and subway cards. You can swipe your bag on the sensor and it will read it through the fabric.
Yes I did Clint, if you can get your hands on a tactical geek sling bag it looks just like that one and do a review that'd be great that would really be awesome, did I mention how good that would be anyways thanks bro have a great day❤
The hidden pocket may be intended for tap-in tap-out underground/metro cards. You would put there only one card without anything else to allow the nfc chip to work.
Style is one thing - I think that's genderless - and you like what you like. As for the strap and the comfort of the Metrorunner for a woman, I just went and asked my wife to try it on and let me know if she thought it was comfortable. She shared with me the following: "No issues - it's comfortable".
Can the strap be oriented to go over the right shoulder bag on left? I have a shoulder injury that prevents left shoulder carry but this otherwise looks perfect!
This strap is not ambidextrous…but I have one that might work for you. Check out this: tomtoc 5.5L X-Pac Sling Bag for Steam Deck/Nintendo Switch, Travel Sling Compatible with DJI OSMO Pocket 3/4, GoPro HERO, Crossbody Bag Chest Daypack for iPad mini, Water-Resistant Shoulder Bag a.co/d/cHLWFb0
So am I right in thinking this is the prime version... Not the standard one? Does the strap pull tight and losen off similar to the chrome industries messenger bags?
Great looking pack! But I was wondering, is a there a way to strap on small light weight tripod to it? And what is the cost and turnaround on it? Thanks
The cost is variable - you pay Malaysian money so the currency rates impact price. Check the site and google current rates for accurate info. The wait can vary too depending on customs and also how much you customize if anything on the bag. As for the tripod - there are small D rings….but no compression straps on the bag so I think it would be tough
Not really, this one is designed purposefully for one shoulder - if you wore on the other, items would be upside down in the. Bag and slide out of the slip pockets.
Hey Mark! I didn’t upgrade - but I got the prime version which came with some premium features. The grab pad is a cushion for the handle and I love it. The RKK is a small gear bag and I have a video on those. Check my Greenroom 136 playlist
Awesome review, as always! I've had an MR Tactical VX42 on preorder for 5 weeks now -- patiently waiting for it to arrive! How long did yours take from order to arrival?
Well, this is part of the fun of ordering international products. You should do your own currency conversion to get a current price. You should also just flip them a quick note on Instagram and ask them about the lead time. Some of the lead time will be out of their control because international shipping is a little bit unpredictable. I’ve gotten things from these guys in as little as two weeks and as long as five weeks.
I'm not trying to purchase a huge cache of travel bags, although, I do own a few. Having both the Prime Ed. MetroMonger order,& the regular metrorunner(only purchased to get around the shipping cost), any thoughts on whether I should upgrade the 'runner' to it's prime edition? Also, that Carabiner manufacturer? Thanks Again!!!
Man I don't remember where that carabiner is from - sorry about that. I'd say no need to upgrade to the Metrorunner prime. If you're happy with the color you have it's not worth paying more to get a slightly different version of the same bag (unless you doooooo fancy yourself a collector). Same bag really, no need to spend again
@@ThePerfectBag U were saying how you liked to have a Carabiner attached to your bag on outtings, maybe we could get a video on that topic? Just a thought?
@@ThePerfectBag Can U refresh my Memory on the Japanese Company that makes that Lightening Connector loop you have attached to your bag? Come across to any better successors to it?
@@ThePerfectBag I don't get the fidlocks on the compression straps...what would you be doing that you'd need to unbuckle? Anyways...I do like the hi-vis interior.
that carabiner came with a poshmark purchase I made. it says "stand" on the side...but seems to just be an ordinary black locking carabiner like almost any on Amazon. it's beefy, but not special. Like these: amzn.to/42VWQSk

Also for subway/metro turnstiles. Hence the name METROrunner

We intentionally brought our iPad mini and Switch to their place just to make sure it could fit, and it does so with space to spare 😁

Hey thanks so much for watching!!!! I’ve got quite a few Greenroom reviews up on the channel - thanks for sharing your experience with the bag!

I've since learned that! Not too many subways in Kentucky except for the kind that make sandwiches.

That’s totally right! I looked it up later and realized that 😂 - no public transit in my life so it didn’t click for me
Do you think these bags are ok for women? I can only see them worn or reviewed by men :) thanks..
Style is one thing - I think that's genderless - and you like what you like.

I have an 8 in tablet so it should fit ok

So am I right in thinking this is the prime version... Not the standard one? Does the strap pull tight and losen off similar to the chrome industries messenger bags?
You are correct. This is the prime version and yes, the strap is easy to tighten and loosen to cinch up the bag.

Lol just discovered that GreenRoom136 is Malaysian bag manufacturer and their shop is like 25km away from me…😂😅😂
Go visit!!!
I wonder if you are able to wear this bag over either the right or left shoulder?
Not really, this one is designed purposefully for one shoulder - if you wore on the other, items would be upside down in the. Bag and slide out of the slip pockets.
I have a question, do you upgrade the buckles, ad the chest strap, whats the grab pad? whats the random knick knock? thanks man

Looks great... but the lack of Aquaguard zippers is a deal-breaker to me.
You can actually use those DWR sprays on the bag, which helps immensely with water resistance.
Do those yellow knots on the zips come with the bag or did you just put them yourself?
They come with the bag!!!
Does this version have the 1000D cordura?
X50 500 denier XPAC laminated nylon exterior. This is the PRIME version. The bag is available in 1000D - but not in this colorway.
The Velcro pockets at the bottom I would probably put emergency cash there
I since learned that they are great for metro cards!
Awesome review, as always! I've had an MR Tactical VX42 on preorder for 5 weeks now -- patiently waiting for it to arrive! How long did yours take from order to arrival?
About six weeks from my most recent one.
Can you put an eight inch tablet in the bag?
Yes easily
Is it $156.00usd? How long to get it from order time?

I know this review is a year old, can the sling be switched so someone who is left handed can get full use of the bag?
This sling is not ambidextrous unfortunately. One has to adjust w this one.
Hey bro whats the green clip that you have on the outside? You said its a charger?
Yup. That’s a lightning cable from a Japanese brand called NuANS

@@ThePerfectBag Can U refresh my Memory on the Japanese Company that makes that Lightening Connector loop you have attached to your bag? Come across to any better successors to it?
Such a missed opportunity to not have bottom molle or lash points.
I wonder if they can add them? I haven’t missed them but I know they’re useful
@@ThePerfectBag indeed! A truly underrated feature that a lot of brands overlook.
So is the "Prime" version the way to go??
I love my prime version - but honestly it’s all about the style you want!
@@ThePerfectBag I don't get the fidlocks on the compression straps...what would you be doing that you'd need to unbuckle? Anyways...I do like the hi-vis interior.
Yeah I just fiddle w/ them.
Can you fit headphones like your airpod max in the main compartment?
Welllll, i think it can fit, but it will stretch the top out. I’d do a quick draw if you carry AirPods Max regularly.
Or a metromonger
@@ThePerfectBag thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning towards the metromonger for the tighter formfit against the body
@theperfectbag is the quickdraw comfortable to wear with the bag in front
across the chest?
Sources of the morality patches,& Carabiner?

@@ThePerfectBag what about that particular Carabiner? You mentioned it in one of the other vid’s on Camera but I can’t recall which?
I like this bag, but some of the d rings poke my back. If I wear a jacket, not an issue though.
Snip snip! If thine D rings offend thee, cut them off!
What D clip you got on there?
that carabiner came with a poshmark purchase I made. it says "stand" on the side...but seems to just be an ordinary black locking carabiner like almost any on Amazon. it's beefy, but not special. Like these: amzn.to/42VWQSk
