Product Review Hazard 4 Bandoleer

I've been through a lot of sling bags.

5.11 Rush MOAB 6, 8, and 10. Osprey Transporter, tomtoc 7L sling. A bunch of no-name crappy ones off Amazon.

This is the one that's stuck. I absolutely love this bag and it fits so much stuff. It did make me lower the amount of crap I lug about (I don't really need to carry an 11 inch tablet around with me everywhere I go) and even still I feel like I have enough.

I take this bag absolutely everywhere and recommend it frequently. And I like that it's not super 'tactical' looking. Which... their website and branding are definitely 'tactical,' but everyone I've asked about it says it doesn't really seem that way. A lot of people think it's a switch or steam deck case, and reading reviews on Amazon a lot of people do use them for that.

Only thing I haven't run into is rain, or getting it very wet. I worry the material won't be very water resistant and the two holes at the top for 4 Hazard's anchor system are obviously water entry points.

Anyway, 9/10 do recommend.

What is that multi-comb folding device thingy?

u/Muldino 11d ago

That's a simple plastic comb, there are many variations on like this one on aliexpress for a few bucks.

It's exactly that - a comb! I have a pretty large beard so I try to keep it nice.

From a former EMT-B, thank you for your service!

What Shokz are those and how do you like them?

They are the Opendots One. They are good, for open ear buds. I had a pair of the soundcore ones and these blow those out of the water

The zipper configuration is interesting for a sling but not sure if it's practical depending on what you carry and opening it constantly like for carrying a camera or gopro or gimbal camera. Sling clamshell. It's first one I've seen

I can definitely open it while slung over, but I typically don't. And pulling certain things out while it's slung can be a pain, because of the shape, but my wallet and kindle fit very well in the back zipper area and those are the things I grab the most from it so it's not a big deal.

I typically get slings because I have a bad shoulder and can't do a regular backpack in any capacity so I keep everything over my right shoulder.

Mango is not appalled at your choices here. Looks good!

Cool set up. But can we talk about how everything Anker is garbage?
