I love sling bags and I'm a Gemini so you had me at hello!

[walterwillis]

Mark, hello from the States. I've been looking for a bag just like this one. Thank so much for the review. I'm going to give it a shot.

The Magforce Gemini Sling Bag looks like a great carry-on travel bag.

The buckle is for if you want to use the straps as compression straps.

G'day Mark, not for me over any sort of distance, though I just had a thought. When car camping, I'm well organised and modular, with shelter, kitchen, tools and so on, however I never have a "dedicated" spot for personal items, keys, wallet, sunglasses, toiletries and such + electronics, torches, power banks, camera, cables, this one or something similar would be ideal.
Only took a few decades to work that out ; ) thanks for the prod mate Cheers Duke.

Looks like a well designed sling bag for the outdoors. Thanks for the review 👍

I've had this bag, at least a couple of years, and I don't carry it much. The reason for that is that the abrasive ballistic nylon has seriously damaged a lot of my clothing. So I only carry it when I'm wearing clothing that doesn't wear easily. I have water bottles that will fit in the external pockets. The strap webbing slips, and I've actually had the pack fall off my shoulder several times. The Helikon-Tex Bushcraft satchel is far more basic, and arguably overpriced considering the materials, but I find it much more useful.

The bottom straps would be a good place to carry a Pancho and wobbie liner without taking up space in the bag, to have compact foul weather gear ready for use...

[toddbelanger]

Hello there, fantastic bag..Definitely buying one..thank you, Hey tell me about that shirt your wearing...I like it

[KernowEDC]

If you have the buckle-side against your back is it uncomfortable? I much prefer the side without the buckle showing on the outside is all.

Sling bag looks a good idea if not over stuffed. My 2 qt. canteen is purty much a sling bag and would be a good counter weight, each strap across chest/head if I don't choke myself with two opposing. Too much stuff I may as well use the backpack. ~ Two liters of water in that bag might feel awkward with all other stuff?

~ Off topic: What's with that big elongated rock in the background in three pieces? tis a strange shape to it.

[jamesmcgowan]

Interesting bag! Will Nalgene bottles fit in the 2 end pockets? How does it compare to the Helekon-Tex bushcraft satchel ?

I think this might be the company that was the original manufacturer of Maxpedition gear that everyone loved and raved about when they first hit the market. Over time Maxpedition decided to go with a different manufacturer to reduce costs and squeeze a few extra pennies of profit from their brand name recognition, and recent customer reviews reflect the notable decrease in quality. It's a bit of an open secret among folks in the tactical community that the 'old' Maxped gear is still available from Taiwan, just with a different name.

Edit: Just as I post my comment I get to the part of the video where Mark talks about it. Maybe I should finish the video before commenting next time 😂
