SHANGRI-LA Tactical Range Bag Outdoor Sling Backpack Hiking Fanny Waist Pack

Nice sturdy bag that should carry everything of this size. Should hold up well w use.

Have had this bag for quite a while, tons of pockets to use, the straps have been really durable, color has not faded on me, used as a range bag and also a go bag for the truck.

I needed something to carry all the things I purchased to convince myself I'm manly and masculine when really it's just a handbag. It's a very well constructed and durable. I've used it for over a year and it's not showing any signs of wear/tear. I don't understand why women use handbags that are fragile, weak, and cost obscene amounts of money when they could use something like this instead. It has more pockets, good zippers, nice adjustable padded sling, pads for your hips, lots of options. The only thing I don't like it the carry handle. If you adjust the straps to be too loose it causes it to hang off-balance and you end up having to set it down on a surface expecting it to tip over to lay flat on its bottom. It can't just be set down flat instantly. You have to let it roll on to its bottom every time. It's not fashionable. But you wouldn't want to buy this to impress people with your style. It's purely functional. If you're trying to buy a fashionable hand bag, go to the women's section.

I was really searching for an economical but more versatile and larger waist pack, so I placed an order for this model because the price is 1/3 of the major brands for essentially the same style. When it arrived, I must stay that I'm rather impressed with the build for the price. Good stitching, plenty of molle, a good robust belt strap and buckle, etc. I filled it up with random gear just to fill the pouches tightly and to give it some weight. I put it on, adjusted the belt tension to keep it on my hips, and gave it a quick test. It's a very comfortable pack, and I didn't have any issues with slippage off of my hips. My next step is to strip some ounces off of this pack. There are some nylon straps I'll not need, including the top handle and some inside lining. I want this pack to be lightweight and flexible so it curves around my lower back. This pack is going to be my quick get-home kit bag, stored under the back seat of my truck, with just the bare necessities. I added a dump pouch to each side of the hip belt molle so I can carry water bottles without taking up pack space. Lots of room in the 4 compartments of this pack for my first aid, tools, small EDC items, radio, Datrex, water filter, and even my hammock/tarp kit. I'll be using this pack for light day hikes when I just need something to hold water/snacks/jacket and bare necessities. I like to keep my back exposed for better air circulation, and even the lightest backpacks always hold in sweat and warmth. Problem solved. **Update 12/7/15 So I've had the chance to use this pack in the field twice now. It's doing great. I made some changes to the pack that I feel are worth mentioning. First, I will never use the top handle and it was just in my way, so I cut it off and the straps that held it. I also turned the pack inside out, and cut out the inner lining with padding so I could lighten up the pack, make it more flexible, and allow more gear to fit inside. If you carefully trim the right panels on the inside, then fuse any loose edges with a lighter (quickly), you'll be amazed at how much lighter it gets. I also removed the molle straps on the back, as I will never use this pack attached to another. All in all, I removed over 8oz of unneeded weight and the pack still works fantastic (I think it works better because it's softer, lighter, and has more cubic inches of storage space). Cut at your own risk. I also had an issue with the waist belt slipping through the side release buckles too easy. If I picked up the bag to put it on, the belt would loosen just that easily. These made all the difference, and installed in 2 minutes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013ALWC56 Now my waist belt stays where it should and won't slip. You'll have to take the pack off to adjust it, but it's worth it. I'm impressed with how much gear this little pack can hold. Not to mention, I've attached a Nalgene bottle holder, 2 dump pouches, and an EDC pouch to it to carry even more gear. It is now my dedicated truck get-home bag, holding a stove kit, water filter/carrying, tarp shelter, Datrex calorie bars, large knife, tools, and fire gear.

This thing is a work of art. I own a few different molle bags. Different sizes, different purposes. But this thing beats them all. I only bought this to carry my CPAP machine and accessories on to a plane, but it is capable of so much more. The attention to detail is phenomenal! My trip is a little over a month away and I haven't used it yet. But I was planning things out in my head as to how to pack it and use it and I started to notice all the little touches that you wish a company would have included but didn't. Gee I wish there was a strap to hold that loose end. Oh, there is one! Good looking, well made, decent price. What more can you want? And I always look at the one start reviews first to get a sense of what the flaws are. Some are mentioning zipper problems. I don't know what they are talking about. The zippers are great. And you can use it as a fanny pack too. And it has a strap to carry it over your shoulder and a place to pack it away NEATLY as well. I AM in LOVE. Just buy it already!

This is incredibly well-made, approaching over-built. Zippers are solid; straps and buckles are high-quality, waist strap is comfortable. There's plenty of space, and more internal pockets, sleeves, and attachment points than I know what do do with. Same goes for the Molle attachment points - plenty for anything you could reasonably want to add to a waist pack. Even if you over-fill it, you can wear it as a wait pack and use the shoulder strap simultaneously to help bear the weight comfortably. My only "complaint" (which others have mentioned) is the zipper and pouch configuration. You have to unbuckle the load-bearing strap/handle to get at the zippers, and once you do, it is almost as if they would have been more convenient if they put everything on the opposite side. Regardless, you will have to take the pack off to access the main pockets. This isn't a deal-breaker for me, but you should be aware. It doesn't have a dedicated water bottle holder per say, but there's a loop with elastic lacing and toggle that is perfect for a basic 1-liter stainless bottle.

I bought many tactical bags for the range and ended up linking this one the best! I will cut to the chase so read on if interested in buying this one. PROS: 1- Very durable bag and I kid you not. It lives up to the hype. It is solid. I bruise it few times a week at the range. It has been in mud, sand, dirt, clay, rain and got gun oils on it and still looks great and one piece! 2- This bag can hold more than you can imagine. I mean I have 3 pistols in it and none of them touches each other. I also pack my ear and eye protection in there. Filed cleaning supplies and at least few hundred rounds of 9mm and .40 cal ammo.I got a towel that I lay my guns on in the bag also. All fit just fine without a hassle. 3- You can use/carry this bag in multiple positions. I folded the waist belt in and not use it. I pack too much in it carry on my waist. You can use a shoulder strap also. I prefer handles to carry. It is balanced and easier for me. Walking few hundred yards is easier my way also. You may feel different but all I am saying is, you will have options to carry this bag and you can pick whatever is more comfortable and easy for you! 4- Bag cleans real easy. I guess the material ballistic nylon has that characteristic of being stain resistant. I use a damp microfiber towel and wipe of mud and clay off of it real easy. There was one time I used a little bit of hand sanitizer to rub off some gun oil I got on it. Even if you stained your bag, I would leave it alone. It gives it a good character but that's me. 5- I like the velcro ribbons on the bag. I got my nickname on a velcro and attached it to my bag. Easy placement anywhere on the bag. Bunch of spots have velcro bands on the bag. 6- This bag has many compartments and center is modifiable. It is very adjustable to your needs. 7- The price was great! Well worth every dollar I spent. I even use it as a support when I am shooting 400 yards or over with my rifle. CONS: 1- they could have placed some plastic legs at the corners and 3 in the center of the bottom of the bag to keep it off the ground. It seems like clay will eat the ballistic nylon at the bottom with the way I use it.

I AM UNBELIEVABLY STOKED RIGHT NOW! I originally ordered this bag for friend who was honest enough to tell me that he had no use for it. Well, it worked out, because I am in love with this pack! The material is crazy durable and very high quality, and looks great as well. Zero corners were cut on this bag, they went all out on the design and functionality! I use this daily as my “man bag” and was able to fit all my crap in there with no problems and still have plenty or room to spare. I also love how secure the bag is and how it has the 2x buckle strap on top marrying everything together. There is a compartment on the back of the back that you can stash away the waist straps and use it solely as a shoulder pack, messenger bag or even a sling pack! Zero chemical smells! Exceptional customer service! Amazing price! I promise...you cannot go wrong with this bag. It can be used for many many different things! SHANGRI-LA thank you guys so much!! I cannot wait until I am able to get another one of your products!
