Sidewinder™ (18.3 L)

Bought one of these about 5 years ago and it held up, zipper is tough bag itself is tough. From range to tactical use. and the bonus of adding a beacon light to it makes this bag amazing, i just had to order anther one.

I love this bag. When I first saw it the price scared me off until I got a gift card and thought what the heck. That was almost 3 years ago. Since then this bag has been with me almost every day as my work bag/edc bag. The only draw back is that it does not fit my 17.3 inch laptop but does fit a 15.6 but it is snug. The main compartment is great as it is a little longer than a normal backpack. I keep all my stuff in smaller bags so it is all organized so I was able to fit a 4th bag instead of the usual 3 like other bags. The admin compartment will keep everything you need organized and the straps that keep it from flopping open all the way is a life saver. The very front zipper pocket is great to keep a back up batter and all charging cords. There are 2 side pockets that could hold small bottles. The one with the zipper can hold 2 cans of Celsius snugly. The other one that is the same width but no zipper I am able to keep a diabetic blood sugar meeter and it is tight to get in and out so I know it won’t fall out. Don’t think about yawing a Nalgene bottle in either pocket. With all the use that I put it through there is just barely scuffing on the bottom. I would definitely buy again. With how well it is made it has made me a fan of hazard 4 and I have bought multiple more bags from them since and will keep doing so.

Okay so look, this backpack has traveled over 40k miles for the last 3 years through planes and various environments and hasn't broke down on me even slightly. About the only issue is I had one of the sipper pull cords come undone. Easy fix retie the thing. So quality is superb. No rips no tears no actual degregation of it's overall usability. It also fits a 17" laptop not in the main laptop sleve but I'm the main body just fine with a lot of room I always pack more stuff and for what it is it has a lot of room and is worth the buy. However, I will note and this is the biggest issue with the backpack. You carry all the weight on one shoulder, if you pack this thing time and time again with a decent amount of weight that you are expecting to carry for hours. It has a detrimental effect for your body. I don't have any medical problems from this but I can definitely feel carrying 50-60 lb on my shoulder with this thing after a few hours. Design for what they intended is absolutely what they wanted and got, as I said it's quality is fantastic. But if you use it with heavy stuff alot it's going to wear on your left shoulder. This being said, I'm going to buy another backpack from these guys because the quality and how it's lasted is hands down better than basically any other large backpack I've had. I'm just going to get something that distributes the weight more e

It has been roughly 10 years since I bought this bag. When I say I have used it at least weekly since then is no exaggeration. I will never go anywhere without this bag. I can not recommend enough how great of a design this is. I find uses for it in every scenario you can think of. 4 years in the Marines with it and am about to head overseas with it in the Army. This is lucky pack. Thank you to Hazard 4 for putting out such great, reliable products.

I bought this as the plan b was too thin to fit an iPad Pro and I love it! It is so comfortable and it carry loads of kit, probably too much kit! A great design, i have mounted a 5.11 IFAK pouch on the front along with a broadside. I have both the dividers and the div and use both equally depend what I am doing. Greta bag, cannot recommend it enough!
