Good, not perfect

Posted by Jack on 22nd Jul 2023

This is one of two Magforce products I bought from HH when they were first available. I like this bag a lot, it's a good size, and generally well-made. I've added a pad to the seat-belt strap, but haven't customised it beyond that. I do have a Magforce insert for it, which is also well-made, but unnecessary because of the existing number of internal pockets. The Gemini idea is a bit of a novelty, and I could manage very well without it. It's probably much more useful for those who want to CC a handgun. I am 6ft 2", and find the shoulder strap just a little short. The seat-belt material also has a tendency to slip in the plastic buckle, and I've had the bag drop off several times. The clever one-handed adjustment only works if you carry the bag one way. My main criticism of the bag though, is the fact that it is has the abrasive Cordura-type material on both sides. There's a reason rucsacs use different material for the back panel. It's fine, if you are wearing a shell garment, such as Gore-Tex, or waxed cotton, or something like a combat jacket, but if you are wearing wool, cotton flannel, fleece, Powerstretch, or something like a cotton sweatshirt/hoodie, the rubbing of the Cordura against these fabrics, as you are walking about, will quickly DESTROY them. I see that Magforce have now introduced a waxed cotton version of this satchel, which looks like a much better option.

Perfect bag

Posted by Andrew Cockill on 24th Nov 2022

As someone who has searched high and low for the perfect cost effective quality bag this has to be the closest I have ever come to succeeding. Without being stupidly expensive and without being blazoned with pointless designer labels it just performs at what it is supposed to be, a tough well made handy sized tactical style bag, a workhorse that succeeds at what it is made for and nothing else. Well worth the money, buy one.

Best bag I’ve bought off you. Service was great as well.
