The "Battle Bag" by Blawk Hawk

Postby Firedan » Mon Aug 01, 2005 2:51 pm

I love Black Hawk stuff. I recently got a new Streicher's catalogue in the mail and they are advertising, The Battle Bag from Black Hawk. They have some good pics of it on the back cover of the catalogue but it doesn't seem to be on Streicher's web page yet. Black Hawk has it on their webpage but there pics are not the greatest. In the description of the bag in the streicher's catalogue they refered to it as a Bug Out Bag and a Grab and Go Bag. Finally equipment makers have recognized the needs of Zombie Squad and obviously they've begun to caiter to our needs......J/K. Seriously though, This bag looks really neat. The flap has clear plastic on the inside so who can have a map in there open and readable. At $89.00 bucks though I would hope it reloads my empty mags for me. haha.

Just wanted to share,

Dan

It looks nice, but even for a top name brand bag, that's expensive. Possibly overpriced because it caters to such a specialty market.

Blackhawk's stuff is totally worth the money. I've bought the cheap knock-off nylon products and they wear out super quick. All the blackhawk products I have are still running strong.

Yea, you cant go wrong with Blackhawk. I have the S.O.L.A.G. full finger gloves and the forearm mag/flashlight holder and neither one has shown hardly any wear and I am not known to take care of my equipment.

I agree, BlackHawk's stuff is totally worth the money. I have quite a few of their products and don't regret a one. This new bag is definately on my Xmas list. I highly recommend their stuff.

When it comes to any tactical gear or weapons for that matter you get what you pay for. That is the long and the short of it.

If you buy taiwanese shit out of cheaper than dirt, please DON'T BITCH when it tears apart under the worst circumstances.

Does it have to be "tactical"? A good black technical daypack will hold a lot of gear, hydration compatible, organizer pockets, side water bottle pockets, gear straps, etc. CHEAPER too. :D
Any decent manufacturer will do. Their gear will last years.

Blackhawk does make great equipment, but how do you carry the Battle Bag? If it's only carried on 1 shoulder, mobility and dexterity is compromised.

Blackhawk manufactures in Vietnam, AFAIK.

Their stuff seems quite a bit overpriced. I'll go with a trekking back pack that while not being "tactical" or having a name like "Battle Bag" has been used and reviewed by a lot of people and costs half the price.

In addition to Blackhawk, Eagle Industries makes some quality merchandise.

BH stuff is made in vietman to my knowledge, but it has stood up under my wing and others I know so as far as Im concerned BH gear is well worth the price. Now if you have an eye witness account that anothe piece fo gear is equal to it and cheaper than by all means go for it. I recently did so when buying knee pads Hatch is vouched for by friends and half the price of BH so I bought Hatch. But if your unsure its a pretty safe bet that going BH is a good product.

+1 Ronin556 on the advisement
