Nice review 👍 I like the hi viz Orange lined loop. It makes it easier to find things.

[@EDCQ]

High vis interior should be mandatory on most if not all bags.

[@olivianeal7626]

Yessss! The chums wallet crew!!! I switch between the American flag chums wallet and the light fold slim minimalist wallet. Love it.

[@EDCQ]

Chums wallets for the win!

[@melissasmith4505]

Thanks for your thorough review of this cool bag. I like that you have not overfilled it with your essentials….I think I would have something in every inch of it making it heavier and thicker! A big part of EDC is just that…figuring out what is really needed and I am learning! I, too, love my Chums wallet.

[@EDCQ]

That is one thing that really bugs me, is when I have a bag packed full. For some reason if I don’t have a good bit of free space I feel like I’ve packed the bag wrong and have too much stuff. Chums wallets for the win!

@@EDCQ TORN BETWEEN LARGE DENDRITE, MAXPEDITION AND 5/11 WAIST PACK? FAVORITE? HELP US PICK. SEMPER FI GUNNY YOU LOOK LIKE THE UFC CHAMP ! VALENTINA

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

BTW, BEHIND YOU...GREEN SCREEN OR IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT?

Hi A. I’m back for more. Intro always gets me excited. I carry a Helikon and an Osprey. This one is a little a bit big but I like it. I used to sling and still do sometimes. But I’m liking the Fanny pack style this days. Reminds me of the 80’s.

[@EDCQ]

Hey hey!!! Which Helikon? I’ve been looking at their gear, they make some good looking stuff. I want to rock this bag Fanny pack style, just haven’t/can’t try it.

[@practicalguy973]

Ooooo I like it! That bag checks all the boxes for me. The one thing I always wish is that there was a light interior option when I bought my black Maxpediition bag, that high vis orange works. I'd also like a tan interior.

[@EDCQ]

Such a great bag! I have no idea why all bag interiors are not high vis. Who wants to lose things inside the black interior of their bag? Future bag purchases I will be looking at bag interior color, might not be the deciding factor, but high vis would be a big plus for me.

[@practicalguy973]

@@EDCQ That's a good plan for bag review criteria. I actually bought a WYNEX Tactical Admin Molle Pouch in tan that fits into my Maxpedition Mongo inner zippered pouch, they make a few styles but there is a slender version with a lot of organization. It fits but its really tight, has to go in on an angle to get in!! It's a cheap brand but it works well for me for things I don't need direct access to since I have to pull the whole pouch out to get to those items. I could not find anything else that would fit that inner pouch like a glove lol.

[@EDCQ]

@@practicalguy973 I don’t think I’ve hear of WYNEX. Checking them out now. Sounds like you’ve found a pretty good solution for your Mongo. I love when I found a pouch that’s made for a pocket!

[@practicalguy973]

I cut off the side straps as I never intended to use them. The molle straps can just come off with snaps and I find the trim down bag is the way it needs to be for my pouch use!

[@RICHARDMOORE1959]

Thanks again for sharing.

[@EDCQ]

Thank you!

[@TBEDC]

Nice bag..my 511 is 6 liter too..holds a lot of gear..

[@EDCQ]

Which 5.11 bag? The Moab 6?

[@IanSmith465]

Nice review thanks : )

[@EDCQ]

Thank you!

[@georgeseriani2482]

4 liters I have one in multi cam black

[@EDCQ]

How do you like it?

[@Rock-ky1ns]

Hill people gear snubby belt pack is what I recommend over this pack

[@EDCQ]

Just looked at it. I’m intrigued. More square design. Easily accessible pockets with a nice layout. That bag is now on my list.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

NOBODY WEARS ON THE WAIST ( FRONT) WONDER WHY

[@wizard80jd]

I got mine today unfortunately it is small and only 4 L capacity, don't know why in your email it looks so big.. Will return it,,,

[@EDCQ]

They have 2 sizes, the small is 4 liters, the large is 6 liters. Mine is 6 and is a very good size. I hate you got the small one and that it’s too small. I’ve thought about getting the small one and seeing if it would work for a lighter carry. Try the larger one if you can, it’s a great size! Carries a lot of gear.

[@wizard80jd]

That is strange I confirmed with them and checked the website as well the large size is 4 litre can you advise where you get yours? I have returned mine and they only refund the amount for the bag they didn't refund my shipping amount which is bad

[@EDCQ]

@@wizard80jd I must have misspoken or gotten my info confused. The small is 2.75 liters and the large is 4 liters. I’m really sorry it was smaller than what you needed. I hate that they made you pay for shipping both ways. I don’t like that some companies make you pay for shipping and others don’t.

[@jasonmanahan6188]

The 2 sizes are 2.7L fr sml and 3.8L fr Krg.. so basically 2L n 4L.. i have the Lrg and it feels like a 5L at the max

[@TBEDC]

Was that the Dekka?

[@EDCQ]

Yessss!!! Good call and eyes! Great knife!

[@TBEDC]

@@EDCQ sweet I need one 😆

[@EDCQ]

@@TBEDC and now the tables have turned… I’m the enabler 😂

[@TBEDC]

@@EDCQ lol I think all knife and gear people are enablers 😆

[@EDCQ]

@@TBEDC FACTS!

[@TBEDC]

Multi pass? Lol

[@EDCQ]

Did I say that??? 😂😂😂 or are you passing on the bag multiple times? Both can be true! 😂

[@TBEDC]

@@EDCQ lol no it’s a good bag I was quoting from the 5th Element when you said multi cam lol

[@EDCQ]

@@TBEDC I haven’t seen that movie in forever, I’ll have to watch it soon!
