I was looking for a sling back for non-firearm EDC. I primarily need it for around town and for carrying tech (laptops, power, etc.) Most bags are either too large, too tactical, or uncomfortable. The Fade Sling XL excels in the ability to carry the volume of gear I need without looking tactical. I can use it for a day out, carrying extra jackets, a water bottle, and random purchases, while still having room for a small first aid kit, notebook, and a small charger kit.
The construction is top notch, and the customer service is amazing. The retail store is there to answer questions and help you set it up to optimize the space and the carry comfort.
I've shopped bags from GORUCK, Osprey, and Mystery Ranch, and none can compare to the look, craftsmanship, and customer service of Eberlestock.
