Maxpedition MONSOON™ GEARSLINGER $132.99 At Amazon on 11-8-2008.
The MONSOON GEARSLINGER is our large size single shoulder pack with over 1600 total cu. in. of total capacity. Based on a triangular design, the main compartment contains numerous internal accessory pockets. There are drain hole grommets throughout and three high airflow islands to keep your back cool.
This Maxpedition back is not for those looking to carry alot, just what you need. What I was looking for was a sling backpack. I was tired of having a regular pack that could slip off my shoulders or bounce off my shoulders if I sat or ran. (college student) Also the look of regular bags are all boring. The sling is cushioned which is great. PROS: cool Cushioned sling Place for a camel pack Straps are strudy Rough, tough, weatherized material
Cons: 1 compartment! Main one but can hold surprisingly more than i thought. For example, I could hold a math textbook, 4 regular books, Season of Sopranos package, 1 notebook all comfortably. You could use it as a gym bag with shoes and clothes but shoes take up a lot of volume. Its because of the triangular shape that takes up some room. It was a tad smaller than I thought it would be but when you use it it feels right. So don't be surprised at the small package its boxed.
All in all I love a tough, non-girlie backpack (not like those weird messenger bags, only Jack Bauer or other people who need it for those professions should use it) that looks cool,even paramilitary, but doesn't scream it.I got the khaki so it doesn't look too military. (black may be best to avoid uber military look) I saw this bag at other sites for $160.
