Fade Sling XL is designed to carry everyday essentials securely across your body and offer a roomier alternative to the Fade Sling. Fully ambidextrous zipper access and three strap attachment points allow the pack to adapt to a wide range of carry configurations, and it's sized to accommodate large laptops, full-size pistols, and PDWs.
The main strap features a cam buckle, locking the strap in place as you move throughout the day and keeping deployment of your gear consistent and reliable. On the strap, there is a mesh pocket for quick access to small items like pens or a pocket knife. At the top of the sling, there is a hidden pass-through for hydration tubes or communications equipment.
The Sling XL has 4 separate pockets to store your gear. On the front of the pack, there is an ambidextrous zippered pocket that is loop-lined so you can add accessories like our FADE Blocker Pouch, MOLLE Adapters, or Fade Admin Pouch. The dual-zipped pocket allows you to customize the pack to fit your specific needs for any type of situation, whether it requires rapid access to medical gear, tools, or other essential items. On top of the pack, there is a zippered pocket that is large enough to fit a Nalgene and all your daily essentials. Inside, the Sling XL has a translucent zipper pocket for storing more sensitive items like keys or your wallet. This pocket allows you to see through the fabric, making identification easier when you need to grab and go.
The main compartment is ambidextrous and opens in a clamshell configuration, giving you full access to your gear. Inside, a dedicated padded laptop sleeve accommodates devices up to 10” wide and 15” tall. The interior walls are loop-lined, making the pack compatible with the attachment of any of our Fade accessory pouches. The final compartment, closest to the chest, is the rear CCW compartment. It can be accessed quickly from any position with a T-Pull zipper, which makes indexing rapid and reliable. The rear pocket is loop-lined, features an armor insert sleeve, and can carry a full-size sidearm.
