Excelente lo mejor de lo mejor

First, I have many “ccw” bags- 5.11, Maxpedition, Vanquest, and some others, for my handgun carry and just general use. The main problem with them is 1) they look too “tactical” and 2) they have poor designs as far as holding your firearm stable and securely. It seems to be an after thought in their design.

I discovered Eberlestock through a FB ad and was quite impressed. I did my research and first ordered the Fade Sling for my Springfield XDM Elite 10mm. I was very impressed with the quality of the bag, especially the rigidity of the inner panels, allowing you to attach holsters and mag carriers on the hook and loop material without it collapsing under the weight.

In the main compartment of my Fade Sling, I have my handgun and an AR mag, in the secondary compartment, I have a triple mag carrier as well as an adjustable carrier for my Boker Kalishnakov 74 folding knife and a Surefire 6PX Tactical flashlight. In the smaller front zippered compartment, I have pepper spray and a tourniquet.

Therefore the bag is heavy, as you can imagine, but the bag supports the weight very well and I have had zero issues thus far. And I love the non “tactical” look of the bag and its smaller size, yet still being able to conceal all of the above items with room to spare.

I own a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 and wanted a bag to conceal it in. I naturally turned to Eberlestock because of my satisfaction with the Fade Sling. I was impressed with the Fade Transport series and purchased the Fade Transport 21. My DD has a 10.3” barrel and a Law Tactical folder but also has a Huxwrk Blastphemy flash diverter which extends the overall length of the weapon to 22 1/4”.

I was unsure about the additional length but ordered it anyway. Unfortunately, Eberlestock sent me another Fade Sling instead, but after emailing customer service, the issue was quickly resolved and my Fade Transport 21 arrived soon thereafter. So here is my review of the Fade Transport 21…

Very impressed with the bag. First of all, my DD fits in the bag, although I have to position the weapon muzzle up ( which I think is better anyway) and I have to pull the front portion of the bag up and over the Huxwrks flash diverter in order to zip it shut, but not a big deal. It fits.

The hardened bottom of the bag is excellent, well thought out, and very needed in a rifle bag. The quick release buckle that holds your weapon in place is absolutely awesome. It works very well. The rear panel compartment is very roomy, allowing me to store 6 mags with room to spare. The bag is very comfortable to wear and blends in, not shouting “gun inside”.

Here are my negatives, which are very small in comparison…
1) please make more color options available as with the Little Trick and the Bandit. A two tone “non tactical” (hate that phrase) color would not only break up the color pattern but make it more non threatening or less obvious if it was in something other than black or earth tone colors.

2) The T-handle zipper pulls are awesome but would be even better if they were a little larger and more of them.

3) The chest strap connecting the 2 shoulder straps should be a quick release like the one securing your weapon, imo.

Overall, the bag is awesome and I have plans to purchase more Eberlestock products. I am not aware of any other ccw bag that comes close to this design and quality. FYI, I did replace some of the zipper pulls, as seen in the photo’s, with large Maxpedition zipper pulls because we know that fine motor skills disappear when under maximum stress. Also, the mag holders are from Savior Equipment and the knife/flaslight holder is from M-Tac, both of which can be found on Amazon.

I really like the bag and its extra large capacity. As always, A+ quality and manufacturing.

This pack has exceeded my expectations. Super lightweight and ample room for day hike/ultralight overnight essentials. Bought this for a scouting/day hike and/or winter time EDC when added layers are needed. Bag fits that bill well. Bag will be excellent for PRS as well. Another great pack from Eberlestock

Quality is great. The updated design is definitely at improvement, looks wise. Not quite as big as I thought it was going to be, but still a good size. Love it so far.

Great quality, fantastic company

I bought this pack over 6 months ago for several reasons:
1) NRL Hunter matches
2) capacity to carry enough things when riding motorcycle to/from work (gym clothes, lunch, uniform, etc.)
3) assault pack for work (Army)
4) western day hunts

Overall, very happy. The external/internal tube frame enables a solid support if you don’t have a tripod to shoot off of. The pack is light weight with the right amount of external and internal pockets/storage and if you don’t have it maxed out it does compress down well.

I’ve also been using it for ruck marches with 40+ lbs and it’s been very comfortable, albeit the pads are a little rough on texture and with a single shirt underneath did give me abrasive scrapes. But that’s only because I was ruck-running. For weight I typically run a 40 lbs dumbell and a pillow with a blanket. While running, the weight does shift around but that’s mostly due to the way I packed it.

Overall, definitely recommend and compares well to similar MR packs that I have.

I haven't had it long enough to speak to it's durability. I will say it's huge, fits all my necessities for b.o.b., camping and hiking. I have it packed full lots of weight with AR mags, 22lr ammo, 22lr rifle and all my camping gear, some clean clothes, water, food etc. It carries very comfortable it's wild how light it feel on my back yet when I pick it up to put it on it's very heavy. It doesn't have a ton of pockets so plan to keep smaller items in pouches or some type of container to keep things organized. I think anyone who buys it will be pleased honestly. It's nice it'll fit a small rifle on either side. I run a Volquartsen env-6 with a suppressor on the side for a survival rifle, in my photo it has a longer can on it than it normally will so it'll actually sit even deeper down. It should fit a lot of different sbr or pistol length guns in there fine.

I like the way this is designed to work as a packing cube but can also be hung in my bag or on a hanger

Travel worldwide and used everything from Rush from 5.11 to Knack and everything in between. Took this on a typical business trip from HI to DC - bag carries super comfortably and is considerably easier to organize and rip open to find stuff enroute. One small change I made and would recommend for the bag is Velcro loops to organize the excess main straps after adjusting for individual height/size. This retired fighter pilot has found his forever travel bag!

Love this pack! Loaded with tons of features and very comfortable when loaded. I’ve had similar sized packs and this has been my favorite one. It holds a ton of stuff, and doesn’t feel huge like most others do. It’s well balanced, has a lot of adjustments to make it feel like it’s custom fit, and is made for all day comfort. Definitely going to purchase more from this company!
