Eberlestock Bando Bag, Black, Standard

Schnelle Lieferung, sehr schöne, geräumige Tasche

Well-made product. The zippers need a little lube to run smoothly. Fits my Sig P365XL and my iPhone perfectly. No need to zip the gun pocket more than one side; my hand slips right in for a smooth, quick draw. If you need more storage room or a full-size automatic, then get the XL size. I got the blue color because it doesn't scream "tactical". Casual dress, blue jeans, shorts, sweats- I wear it everywhere now, even while driving. Give it a try; I really don't think you'll be disappointed! I wear it around the waist. Not a big fan of sling-carry. With it around the waist, I can go anywhere and do anything, and never have to take it off.

Zu teuer

I'm giving it 4 stars, but more like 3.5. All because of the zippers. I can't for the life of me figure out why the Fade Flex has these chonky but quick and smooth AF zippers (stellar, even), and these are.... not. I mean, if the Fade Flex came later, then OK. But use the same zippers on the Bando. These feel like an after thought or a cost-cutting measure.I saw some folks cranking about how they don't like the Bando b/c the zips only go one way. For clarification, the CCW compartment allows for staging and drawing open from either direction. The other two compartments... sure, they only open to the left, but it's fine IMO. It helps me being lefty b/c I keep the CCW zips over to the left, and the other zips have to be to the right to be closed. I guess with right-handed folks... yeah, maybe it's a little more intrusive to a quick open. IDK.The reason I don't crank more about the zippers is b/c I'm not the guy on the range training to draw from the closed bag at comp speeds while never taking eyes off the target that I have to be quicker than b/c he's clearly drawing down on me right now, bro! (These zippers will make sure you don't get to fast). Why not? Because I don't plan on facing off with bad guys at the OK Corral. I tend just pay attention, and if i need to prep something to draw, I just start prepping my position and gear to do whatever comes next. You know... OODA loop and all that.Otherwise, it's a good-sized bag, and wife appreciates me carrying it more than the Flex b/c it looks more civilian. It's a great size- larger than the Flex Micro but not quite as big as the Flex standard. I prefer the set up of the compartments of the Flex more (both main pockets fully unzip on three sides), but the Bando still works well with the main compartment being the "focus" pocket and plenty roomy with some organization and additional zipped compartments on the inside of that main pocket. I like the style and size of the Bando for lower key EDC.Do the zippers sort of suck? Now that I know what the Flex zippers are like... Yes. Still worth it as an EDC? Also yes.

I don't do reviews very often but this one is worthy.Background: Former Mil and full time LEO; NREMT-P, TEMS, vol FireMedic and all the other dang things. 20+ years up in it.I will without fail ALWAYS prefer on body carry. But along with a multitude of other reasons/situations, it can't always happen. Top of the list, I live at the beach and it's also hotter then the devils breath 9 months out of the year. I don't even want to talk about the humidity. Every environment is different, but lightweight shorts, t shirts and sun hoodies are the standard UOTD around here.While I'm all about a sling bag....for reasons (it's always in the truck) the advent (or resurgence if you're a 90s kid like me) of the waist packs was a solution for places like here.I've been through several different waist packs and stayed on the fence about them. I regularly used them as an adjunct for over stuffed pockets. Enter the bando bag.FOREWARNING: The one issue you may have is the holster pocket footprint. If you carry a full size or even mid-size with optics, you're gonna want a bando XL. When I waist bag carry, it's either a comped and optics G43x or a non optics G26. Fits perfect.With that out of the way, the holster pocket layout and methodology fits my liking to a T. No flop, solid mount up and purchase point with any number of velcro backed holsters. Is the draw as fast as a good AIWB setup? Maybe not quite, but spend some time on it. It's fast enough for the compromise it is. Move up to the "main" pocket, wallet, spare mags, mini ingress/egress kit, keys, mini trauma kit, 1 cell light and ETK tourniquet drop in with room to spare. Good organizational setup inside, zippered pouch, two pockets in rear and elastic band in roof for your TQ or mag or a candy bar. Front small zipper pocket for small whatevers. I keep skittles and a couple pairs of nitrile gloves in there. With all that, not only is there room to spare if you need to flex, it does NOT look full, let alone overstuffed. With all that, I'm a tall lanky dude, 6'2" and change and 180lbs. It's easy for some waist packs to look oversized and too "obvious". (Think the vertx Soc-P). Too much for my taste. The bando bag is a perfect size and low profile. If you think a man purse might be an option for you, don't end up here like I did. Just start here. It's as popular as it is for a reason. Oh, and the zipper pulls kick ass too.
