Eberlestock Bando Bag - Tactical Men's Fanny Pack w/Adjustable Waist Belt, Zippered Pockets, Compact Lightweight Belt Bag

I know most people are here buying this for a CCW but I bought this product with the sole purpose of carrying my action camera equipment and a few other EDC items like my wallet and battery bank while riding my not, since storage is minimum on my bike. Mind you I’m using the XL variantPros:- I ride a yzf-r6r and this a a great solution for carrying all my essentials while I’m doing mountain runs.- Plenty of room, while NOT looking excessively big on your body to the point where it’s awkward looking. extremely comfortable and easy to adjust on the fly, and my favorite part is how the straps aren’t just dangling around like most other bags.- There’s plenty of compartments so you can keep your essentials separated. Id say the bag over all is extremely well built.- I did get the all black color and I love how this bag looks as well, very sleek and a bit of a tactical look to it.Cons:- The only problem I have with this bag is I wish the zippers were higher quality like “YKK” zippers or of a sort. I’d happily pay more money for smoother and much more reliable zippers.- Not to say these zippers are bad but they seem functional with average build quality.Conclusion:- I was extremely happy with my purchase to the point where I legit went out my way to review this.- Mind you my main focus is a storage solution to carry my action camera equipment and EDC items while going fast on a motorcycle.

Smaller but works great. Was able to put a little Velcro holster in the back part and hold my Springfield hell cat pro. That’s really all I wanted it for . Still have plenty of room in the other pockets for stuff that I haven’t put in.

The pack itself solves my issues with traditional waist packs, and that is, the main pocket holds my EDC and limits what else I can put in them. The rear pocket on the bando bag holds my p365xl with an HS 507k perfectly.The velcro elastic loop can be placed anywhere in the back area to accommodate most any configuration, and expands enough to securely hold my weapon around the trigger guard. I’ve done countless practice pulls and have had zero snags.The zipper pulls and zippers work just fine, the pull loops are molded open at the top to improve ease of access. It would be nice if there was a way for the middle and front pocket zippers to be closed at either end, perhaps two zipper pulls. This would prevent accidentally grabbing the wrong loop when opening the EDC pocket.The internal pockets are nice with plenty of room for my wallet, phone, two-finger duster, keys and an elastic loop in the top flap of the middle pocket that holds my leatherman.Everything is made of high quality materials and has a premium feel/appearance without looking like a tactical attention grabber.My only complaint is the length of the waist strap, I bought the extender (also great quality) for cross body carry, but I really shouldn’t have needed to.Great EDC bag, I bought one for my son who carries a shield plus with optic. He uses it every day and is 100% satisfied.

I’ve been using the Eberlestock Bando Bag, a tactical men’s fanny pack, for about six months during hikes and range trips, and it’s a practical, well-built option for carrying essentials. Made from 420D Cordura nylon, it’s tough enough to handle rough trails and range environments, resisting scuffs and light rain while staying lightweight at just under a pound. The main compartment easily fits my phone, keys, wallet, and a small first-aid kit, with a mesh zippered pocket and two slip pockets keeping things organized. The front zippered pocket is perfect for smaller items like cords or a multitool, and the adjustable waist belt (31.5” to 44”) is comfortable for long wear, whether around the waist or slung crossbody. The full-zip back pocket (5.25”H x 9.25”W x 3”D) securely holds my Glock 19 with a trigger guard, and the integrated tourniquet sleeve under the main flap is a smart addition for emergencies. At around $50-$70, it’s a solid value for its durability and versatility.That said, it’s not perfect. The tactical look, even in muted colors like coyote brown or grey, might stand out in urban settings, as some Amazon reviews note, and it’s not as sleek as minimalist fanny packs. The included elastic band for the CCW pocket is flimsy—most users, including myself, swap it for a Velcro-backed holster or 3M adhesive Velcro for better firearm retention, as discussed on Reddit. The zipper quality is hit-or-miss; mine’s held up, but some reviewers report sticky or less durable zippers after heavy use. It can also feel cramped if you overload it with bulkier items like a water bottle alongside a firearm. For general hiking and range use, it’s a reliable EDC solution, but if you need more space or a less tactical vibe, the Bando XL or a non-CCW-focused pack might be worth considering.

Perfect for my full size piece! And the bag is not so big that it looks odd on my female frame. Seems well made and durable. Good value and I like the black color I purchased. The strap is wide and the buckle is strong.

Excellent tactical pack. Quality. Looks good and not too tactical. Perfect size for my S&W Shield w/ Holosun optic on it. It will fit, but is maxed out with, a Glock 19.
