5.11 rush Moab 6 long term review

[@OX71]

My thoughts are that you don't know how to carry the bag and it's affecting your judgment. Try this, forget about wearing it like a moab 10 or 8 or a maxpedition slingbag, instead orient the bag so that the comms pouch is under your left or right elbow, it will be sideways on your back at your lumbar, when you pull it to your front it will be upright. This is the way to carry this bag, 5.11's videos on the bag mislead buyers by the way the model wears the bag. I've owned and worn this bag daily for work carrying tools to pack and move furniture for years with tape gun, carry straps small tool kit and lunch, and also as a quick trip to the corner store for years with almost zero wear, it's a little softer now but still looks great.

@@OX71 oh interesting, I’ll give it a try, thank you!

@Starkwolf88 happy to help. There is also a minority of people who remove the comms pouch, or even the entire padded portion of the strap and use a different strap set up entirely, it's easy to install a set of D rings on either side of the carry handle and buy a 2"wide strap with snap hooks...but then you can't reverse that modification. I think it's maybe time to make a video to show the mods I made to the bag and the method of carry I use primarily, it may be easier to refer people to the video than to explain it in writing on every moab 6 video I watch.
