Nice to see a pack review that doesn't just devolve into an inventory of what guys carry in it. I'm glad it doesn't have a built in water bottle pouch, I prefer packs that are more modular and allow me to decide how to configure it.

I’ve used this pack for many years and it is still rock solid. I use for an everyday work bag and use it very often for my overnight camp bag for my hammock. Love it and I’ll be buried with it.

[RaphaeLoh]

I love this bag! It's the perfect size, and has everything I need. My only con is the price...

Regarding it not having an external water bottle pouch: That is the beauty of MOLLE webbing. You can attach a water bottle pouch, or other accessory, to the MOLLE system!

I got the same slingpack same color. I use for work I have a condor water pouch on the side. And I attached 2 pouches on the main molle side of the pack. I carry my lunch an drinks and everything I need. True it needs a dedicated water pouch. Overall I've used this pack on trips and as a edc. I'm happy with it.

Thank you for the detailed review! Showing the individual compartments and pouches was very helpful

[CalvinWatkins]

Actually the mesh pockets are 4 independent pockets, they don't pass through (at least not on mine). Thank you for the video!

[gorillahd]

Excellent video and a great overview of the pack. I like the breakdown of the pros and cons. Well done! Scott

I'm waiting for a 5.11 sale! In 2017 I bought the Rush 12 which I find very useful for traveling, but it's a little large for a day pack. I get lots of complaints from friends that it's too big. First, is it really any of their business!LOL I added a liter water bottle holder which adds width to the pack. I also purchased a canteen/cooker set with Mollie that I can set up for day hikes and a dump bag for collecting wild goodies. Anyway I need a smaller pack was thinking of the MOAB 6 but it's too blocky and can't hold a laptop. Also, I like that the Rush MOAB 10 has webbing for outerwear.

Love your video but would like to see you put it on by straping it. Very difficult for me to figure out where to attach the starp. Thank you.

Actually good video

Both packs missing anti sway strap thanks to 511

You left out the extra straps on the 10 moab

The Velcro mesh pockets on the main compartment aren’t opened from either side for ambidextrous carry. Each side of the Velcro mesh pockets are separated into their own individual compartments. The zipper part though, is definitely ambidextrous.

Is this the sandstone color? Online it looks so tan! Every video tho it looks so much more green!

[JD-mvtl]

Do you feel the 3V Outlaw slinger is just as good

[seahawksLT]

What are the included straps for?.? The tier system straps

[tyronewalker]

Damn, I just bought a Hazard-4 sling pack!

[jethEngine]

If i buy this i will use this for work.

very thorough review. and a big thumps up to that! Please allow me to raise 2 questions to you and your viewers . What is the idea of sling packs? Why a sling pack? Try to answer that before you continue reading.
Now that you have your answers, let's see if yours match mine.
1. sling packs are obviously designed for smaller, kind of EDC items. it gives you access to the items without removing it from your body.
2. as far the as the Why goes, it's the weight distribution and the maneuverability.
The concepts are all good on papers, right? It seems so, but I'll not have any slings, again.


Have a look at a sling's closest rival, a messenger style bag, and you'll know what I mean. Messenger bags, in general, are designed for a much looser fit, which means all the weight is handled by 1 side of the shoulders and that's it. A sling is supposed to transfer some of that weight onto your back, so theoretically speaking, it should be more comfortable, and you can run with it, since the pack contours your body. Wrong! While the idea of weight distribution works to a certain extent, all of the slings come with a different setback, namely the shoulder strap. sling packs fit the wearer's body diagonally, and to achieve that weight distribution, and maneuverability so you can run with the bag on you back, it has to be pulled closer to the body. At some point, you'll find the shoulder strap digging into your neck. try swinging it. let's say, 10 times back and forth. and you'll notice a mild pain right where the strap digs into your neck. Of course, this problem can be remedied with a polo shirt, or any garments with some level neck collar. To get rid of that pain, you're gonna have to loosen it a bit, and the idea of weight distribution and maneuverability is eliminated.
Don't even get me started on the orientation of the pockets. Most slings are fabricated with pockets vertically oriented. that's why none of them can accommodate a water bottle. you put the items in vertically, but when you swing it to the front, you have to get them out horizontally. Isn't that kind of awkward to you guys? For me, it's definitely is.
I used to have a moab 10, but I had to sell it because of the aforementioned reasons.
Now, I'll go with small-medium sized messengers over the slings, in a heart beat. smaller messengers will mitigate your temptation to load it with 80 pounds of gear, the pockets keep their orientation both on your back and front so your items stay where they are, they come with a pocket, if not 2, for your water bottles, most of them are now decked out with a stabilizer strap across your hips to secure them in place, hence, you can kind of move freely with the pack out of the way.
that's just my overall opinion. Don't let that prevent you from getting a sling. If you prefer the feel, and the look those, sling it! For me, I think I'm better off with a small size messenger pack.

The pack is great but man did they phone in the main compartment.
