MaxpeditionRemora Gearslinger

It’s a small bag/pack multiple ways to carry, plenty of compartments. Nice construction heavy duty pack. You can adapt other smaller bags/pouches, conceal carry compartment on back of bag. Strap is removable or it can be hidden in back compartment. Just big enough but not oversized. It is worth the price. If you like to edc more stuff than what fits in your pockets this pack is it, specifically if you are traveling. (Chargers, battery packs, small hand tools, first aid kits, snack bars, knives, tins, cord, flashlights, writing pads, pens, earphones, earbuds, cables, zipties, tape, chapstick, toothpicks, meds, endless amount of things you can customize it to your needs).

The Maxpedition Remora Gearsling far exceeded my expectations in terms of small overall size (what I was looking for in an every day carry pack), lightweightedness, carrying capacity, and rugged appearance & craftsmanship. It fits comfortably on one's back with the strap coming across either the left or right shoulder (the position of the sling can be adjusted for right- or left-sided carry; length can also be adjusted). Zippers are ultra heavy duty, and I expect them not to fail for quite some time. The main storage compartment is huge - larger than you would think judging by the size of the pack. I fit a paper back book, a small can of WD-40, and a host of various other small items in there, but, if desired, a whole hearty packed lunch could be easily packed - with room for another can of WD.My pack is highly customized, granted, and I have attached (via 3" tac-ties)two accessory pouches via MOLLE webbing. These pouches include Maxpedition's:- Surgical Glove Pouch (attached to the front)- Mini Pocket Organizer (attached to the side)In order to demonstrate the capacity of this superb pack, here is a list of the items which have found a place within or atop its pouchy confines:- 2 rechargable 18650 batteries- Magnesium Fire Starter- 5 plastic zip ties - 8"- One Blood-Type Lacer(TM), A Positive- Maxpedition 2" Shoulder Pad- Rite in the Rain Notepad- PowerPax Storacell AA and AAA battery caddies- Nite Ize SpotLit LED clip-on light- Gerber Shard keychain tool- CRKT Eat-n Tool- Silver Gripper Tweezers- Chainmate 24-inch pocket chain saw (not shown in pictures)- 4x CR2016 Batteries (also not shown in pictures)- Various Patches- P-51 Can Opener- Chap Stick- Zippo Fuel Canister- Zippo lighter + two wicks + Flint dispenser- Maxpedition Tactical Playing Cards- 100 ft of woven paracord, olive drab- 1 Sharpie marker and 1 black ballpoint pen- Duct tape and electrical tape, wrapped around pieces of cardboard (for weight and size reduction)- ZT0121 knife - my pride and joy- Flashdrive- FireSteel fire starter- Small tape measurer- Small can of WD-40- 2 tan Grimloc carabiners (one on either side of my surgical gloves pouch)- Small Mammals of North America field book (paperback, 248 pages)- Glow in the dark zipper pull ends (one for each zipper pull)Hope this helps!!

The Remora is a great, durable, small bag if you do not want to add much in the way of molle accessories. I ran into a problem because I wanted to add the Maxpedition water sleeve and a molle sunglass case. Because of its small size, the accessories extend beyond the bottom of the Remora. If you do not need to accessorize, the Remora is quite a good minimalistic bag. I sent it back and got the Lunada, which is long enough that the accessories end at the bottom of the bag.

This does what it says. It's a tough little bag with a million uses. EDC bag, CCW bag, school, work, camera, you name it. I bought mine to use for fly fishing. I hate vests and I needed something that can hold my gear and keep it out of the way. After considering this bag, the 5.11 MOAB 6 and some others, this one won. I have the MOAB bag but it's not suitable for this purpose.My bag is all khaki, including the zippers. It feels and seems like a quality bag, well constructed and well thought out. The fabric is a little stiff but I've heard it softens of over time. It's a little small but I've seen the Lunada, the next bag up in size, and I think I'd rather have a bag that's just a little small rather than too big. This is their smallest Gear Slinger and it forces me to leave some stuff at home that I don't really need.I've fit my minimalist gear in and on the bag. I've got gear retractors on the PALS webbing in front, tippet spool in the front pocket, leaders and strike indicators in the middle pocket along with a multi-tool, and four small fly boxes and my nymphing kit (indicators, weight, etc) in the main compartment. Forceps clamp on a zipper pull. I attached a Maxpedition 10x4 water bottle holder to one side and the pocket on that fits my Nikon AW100 camera perfectly and I can carry a quart of water. Lots of pockets including the slip pocket on the back side that I can carry a pistol in if I want or maybe a flask in the winter.The few complaints? The strap cuts into my neck so I added a pad from Maxpedition. The bag is prone to flopping around and falling forward when I bend over. I've added a short section of cord and a belt clip to solve that issue. Like I said, it's a little small. The Lunada might allow me to add some snacks for day hikes. I also added a Tactical Taylor Velcro patch to the side and velcro to my fly boxes. When the bag is around front, that sits on top and I can stick my fly boxes there and not worry about dripping/spilling them. Not really a complaint but custom touch I added.Overall, this is a great bag and I like it a lot. Recommended if it's the kind of bag you need. Not big and not going to carry a ton of stuff, but a great small organizer. Four stars but with the added pad and the retainer to keep it from flopping around, it gets five.

Maxpedition is an excellent brand with exceptional products. I own a ton of their products and have used them for years. My family and friends borrow my gear all the time. I finally started giving them as gifts. They last and last.
