Eberlestock Bando Bag - Tactical Men's Fanny Pack w/Adjustable Waist Belt, Zippered Pockets, Compact Lightweight Belt Bag

I know most people are here buying this for a CCW but I bought this product with the sole purpose of carrying my action camera equipment and a few other EDC items like my wallet and battery bank while riding my not, since storage is minimum on my bike. Mind you I’m using the XL variantPros:- I ride a yzf-r6r and this a a great solution for carrying all my essentials while I’m doing mountain runs.- Plenty of room, while NOT looking excessively big on your body to the point where it’s awkward looking. extremely comfortable and easy to adjust on the fly, and my favorite part is how the straps aren’t just dangling around like most other bags.- There’s plenty of compartments so you can keep your essentials separated. Id say the bag over all is extremely well built.- I did get the all black color and I love how this bag looks as well, very sleek and a bit of a tactical look to it.Cons:- The only problem I have with this bag is I wish the zippers were higher quality like “YKK” zippers or of a sort. I’d happily pay more money for smoother and much more reliable zippers.- Not to say these zippers are bad but they seem functional with average build quality.Conclusion:- I was extremely happy with my purchase to the point where I legit went out my way to review this.- Mind you my main focus is a storage solution to carry my action camera equipment and EDC items while going fast on a motorcycle.

The pack itself solves my issues with traditional waist packs, and that is, the main pocket holds my EDC and limits what else I can put in them. The rear pocket on the bando bag holds my p365xl with an HS 507k perfectly.The velcro elastic loop can be placed anywhere in the back area to accommodate most any configuration, and expands enough to securely hold my weapon around the trigger guard. I’ve done countless practice pulls and have had zero snags.The zipper pulls and zippers work just fine, the pull loops are molded open at the top to improve ease of access. It would be nice if there was a way for the middle and front pocket zippers to be closed at either end, perhaps two zipper pulls. This would prevent accidentally grabbing the wrong loop when opening the EDC pocket.The internal pockets are nice with plenty of room for my wallet, phone, two-finger duster, keys and an elastic loop in the top flap of the middle pocket that holds my leatherman.Everything is made of high quality materials and has a premium feel/appearance without looking like a tactical attention grabber.My only complaint is the length of the waist strap, I bought the extender (also great quality) for cross body carry, but I really shouldn’t have needed to.Great EDC bag, I bought one for my son who carries a shield plus with optic. He uses it every day and is 100% satisfied.

Use this daily. Great value, I bought the regular size as well in the brown color. Great quality, fits all my things plus some. Comfortable to wear crossbody and on the waist. Very inconspicuous, I’ll most likely buy a third soon as my wife has taken my xl. The regular size fits my xmacro like a glove with an extra mad in the concealed compartment.

PROS:I have a couple of off body carry options to choose from. This bag, I must say is the least conspicuous when it comes to concealing that you have a firearm. The center pocket is large and easily accessible with a bunch of storage options. One of my favorite is the tourniquet elastic holder. Keeps it handy and secure with plenty of pockets for extra mag, small flashlight, pen, and my multitool. And you still have the very front pocket for your wallet or keys. The firearm compartment is the prefect size to hold my XD 9, 3" subcompact. Anything larger and you'll need to order the larger bag. Even though it can be used as a "sling bag" it really works best as a fanny pack. You'll need to purchase a holster for the bag. It comes with a small elastic band that's kinda useless. I bought an M-Tac velcro holster that works beautifully. The construction of the product seems to be very sturdy and solid. Buckles are thick plastic with a heavy duty feel. Overall I would recommend this product for an off body carry option. Hope this helps you out in your search.CONS:For the price, It doesn't come with a universal holster. And the compartment that holds your firearm does not fully open. It sits straight out like a tray. I would prefer it to fully extend downward and out of the way. Even though the finger holds are large and open smoothly. You need both hands in order unzip the compartment fully. Only then are you able to access and obtain a solid purchase of your firearm. A ONE handed opening pull tab would be my recommendation as an option. Especially when a split second can make all the difference.

These Eberlestock Fanny packs are amazing!I went with the original size first ( which is great), but ended up buying the XL for myself and giving the smaller one to my wife. For the price, I really don't think you can beat these fanny packs. The durability is great, it's lightweight, looks stylish without screaming "tactical", and has all the pockets you would need, including the EDC one with is easy to access.The ONLY complaint i would say is that the backing material could have been a little bit more breathable. All in all, this is a great product, and well worth it.
