Product Description

Product Description

The Sitka Gearslinger is our sling designed bag which allows the user to "swing" the pack to the front while the pack is still worn.

Amazon.com



A one-strap design maximizes utility when the bag is rotated to the front of your body, and a ventilated, padded back keeps you comfortable. The Sitka Gearslinger is a practically indestructible, sling-style bag that allows you to "swing" the pack to the front while it's still being worn. Originally designed for military and law enforcement professionals in the field, the bag has a main compartment and hydration compartment which can accept CCW accessories, and the shoulder strap is designed to go over left shoulder for better weapon shouldering.

Top and side handles offer numerous alternative carrying positions, while the PALS modular webbing throughout enables you to easily attach accessories. A water bottle pocket is sized to fit a standard 32-ounce Nalgene bottle.

Specifications:

  • Main compartment measures eight-by-three-by-15-inches (W x H x D), with internal organizers
  • Top front compartment measures 7.5-by-two-by-four-inches (W x H x D), with internal organizers
  • Bottom front compartment measures 7.5-by-two-by-eight-inches (W x H x D), with internal organizers
  • 618-cubic-inch cargo capacity
  • Compatible with 100-ounce hydration reservoir

    Durable Materials:

    • 1000-denier water- and abrasion-resistant ballistic nylon fabric
    • Teflon fabric protector for grime resistance and easy maintenance
    • High strength zippers and zipper tracks
    • UTX-Duraflex nylon buckles for low sound closures
    • Triple polyurethane-coated for water resistance
    • High tensile strength nylon webbing
    • High tensile strength composite nylon thread
    • #AS-100 high grade closed-cell foam padding material for superior shock protection
    • Internal seams taped and finished
    • Paracord zipper pulls
    • Double-stitched stress points

Customers like the ease of use of the backpack.

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the backpack. Some mention that it's very comfortable to carry, has versatile options, and is easy to adjust. However, others say that it gets extremely uncomfortable when used with a water reservoir, and the weight starts to hurt your shoulder and back.

Perfect bag, if you know what you buy.
4 Stars
Perfect bag, if you know what you buy.
Well, it is a single strap city bag. With all its downsides. Absolutely not suitable for heavy loads or long walks with it because of small volume and asymmetric fit. The best application for Sitka is small EDC, documents and maybe a wind jacket/gym essentials. If you are ok with it, the rest doesnt need a review. The quality of Maxpedition products is outstanding. Amazon service nice as well. It came packed in cardboard box, very fast, no issues.Pros:- Cool badass look- Sturdy as all Maxpedition is- Swings from the back to the chest easily- Conveniently organized upper pocketCons:- Not (I said not!) for heavy weights. More than 6 pounds will cause real pain after some time wearing. This effect could be lowered by two-side switchable strap (as on 5.11). At least you could alternate shoulders. But... no.- When you swing it forward, the bottle pocket often loses a bottle =)- Velcro panel is overlapped by Y-strap so patches are not good visible.- I personally have an impression that internals are designed mostly for papers. The pockets are flat.Summary:Very good choice for small EDC in a city. For other job you probably have to check out something else.Remark:Sitka is probably the logical maximum for one-shoulder design. I don't see any point in large Kodiak or Pecos (by Maxped) since these just physically cannot safely exploit all their cubic inches.

La mejor mochila Maxpedition qué he tenido. A pesar de qué solo se recarga en un hombro es muy comoda.
Los espacios en los bolsos vienen acomodados para usarse sin quitarse la mochila. Solo debes girarla Tiene una buena capacidad con espacio suficiente para el dia a dia o para pasar 1 noche fuera. El porta botellas es robusto y grande. La calidad es brutal, no hay mejor y su mano de obra y acabados son perfectos. Sé lo bueno qué es Maxpedition pero no imaginaba que esta Sitka sería tan comoda y versatil.
La recomiendo bastante.
