Rankings are fun! I have been testing a lot of bags this year. I actually use and test them for at least 3 weeks to get a good feel for what the bags can do, how they feel, and how they wear over time. The Bagdad rankings are simply my opinions of what I am using and giving me the best experiences.

What say you? Agree? Disagree? Hit me up and let me know your top bags.

Black Ember Citadel H2 25L - This bag has climbed the charts quick! I actually have not posted my review on this one yet, but it is coming soon. Why is it so badass? The look, the comfort, the functionality, and most of all, the materials. The EMBERTEX 1220x600 Nylon 6 is my new favorite material. This new material is incredible and not enough people are talking about it! The bag stands perfectly which is a huge plus at the ballpark. It took a lot to overtake the Kludde and a lot of yall know how much i love the Kludde. Review coming soon.

Evergoods MPL22 Kludde - What can I say? This is just perfection when it comes to the dad bag/day pack. Seriously one of the most comfortable bags on the planet! I should also mention the regular MPL22 here as well as it is just a tad different. If you want a comfortable bag that is light and just looks badass, then this is your jam. They just released the bag in their new 210D fabric. I have not got my hands on one yet, but the 420D and Ultra are 10/10! My full review is linked below.

Eberlestock Switchblade - This is one of my new favs! I call it the “Dragon Slayer” Why? Because it closely resembles the Mystery Ranch x Carryology collab “The Dragon” The difference here is the Switchblade has so much organization and functionality. There is a place for everything. It has a cool back panel and harness system. This bag needs to be taken seriously! This bag is long term comfy with tons of room without being a huge bag. I have a link to the site and a discount code below if you are interested. My full review is also linked below.

Mystery Ranch Unicorn 2.0 - I dont think I need to say much here. IYKYK. The best collab ever! The Unicorn introduced me to the tri-zip, which I now LOVE. This bag is made extremely well. It’s comfortable as hell. I love it so much I have 3 of them: multicam, orange, and olive. Had the black and traded it. I will get me another one one day;) I currently do not have a full review on this one, but I will be getting to it soon. Quick post on it listed below. If you’d like to know anything about it, feel free to hit me up.

Able Carry Max EDC - Top two all time most comfortable bags ever! And it is a looker. I have this guy in beautiful navy x-pac. I had the brown and traded it, but it was gorgeous too. The materials are premium and just beautiful. The thick chunky straps are worth the price of admission. I find this bag holds up well and the zippers, oh the zippers… are just buttery perfection! I could literally run that zipper all day. So satisfying! My old review is linked below. I will have a new one coming soon.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nomads_Nation/s/9mbjhHZa4Z

C Tactical CT21+ w/ Kangaroo pocket - I dont not have a full review on this guy yet, but this bag is frickin badass! I have it in dyneema, my now second favorite fabric ever to EMBERTEX. This guy is comfortable as shit! I am actually traveling right now as I am writing this and I have this bag with me. CTactical prices their bag very reasonable. The shipping can get a little expensive, but I am telling you, it’s f’ing worth it! Only downside for me is it can feel pretty big at times. The kangaroo pocket is a Dad Bag miracle. Being able to quickly stuff your kid’s crap in it, is priceless! Review coming soon.

Evergoods CTB20/CTB26 - Another legend. IYKYK. I listed both sizes because they both offer dad bag excellence at the size you need. I’ll start by saying most people either love it or hate it. Some have issues with the harness system stabbing in the back. Not for me. It is absolutely perfect for me. This is the bag that set the standard for functionality as well as quick access. Let’s go through the badassness here. You have the top yoke pocket, the front quick access pocket, the vertical admin pocket, and the best water bottle pockets on planet Earth. I am a huge fan of the 420D nylon. I have the CTB20 in olive and one in xpac. I have a CTB26 in coyote. I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. My full review of the CTB26 is linked below.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nomads_Nation/s/Vb39E1pPoD

Yeti Bozeman/Ranchero
Yes a yeti bag. They aren’t shitty either. They are actually pretty badass. First off, put a patch over the damn yeti branding. lol. The tri-zip is back. Tri-zips take a little getting use to, but they are actually pretty convenient. The tuff skin nylon provides extreme durability. This bag also stands like a champ! The Bozeman has the mystery ranch futura harness which is super comfortable and easily a popular all time favorite by many. The ranchero harness is different, but damn well might be even a little bit more comfortable… Seriously. These bags have been a joy to use and perfect for days at the ballpark. Big water bottle pockets are amazing and these are just that. Full review on these guys is coming soon.

Go Ruck M23
This bag is cool. It looks cool. I am not a fan of top loaders, but the side entry into the main compartment is super easy to access your contents inside the bag. I am a fan of the side quick access pocket as well as the other side with a bottle pocket. You can pack a bunch in this guy and as most of you know, Go Ruck bags are pretty comfortable. Now the M23 is not sold anymore, but they have preorders for the new M26 up right now. Very similar layout as the M23 was the most popular of the M series so far. Full review linked below.

Matador Globerider 35L
Coming in at number 10 is the Matador Globerider 35L. This is the guy you want to take if you need to carry a lot of stuff. Maybe a long day at the park with the kids, or you may be going on a day trip and need that extra dad room. This bag is beautiful. And the best part, it has a kangaroo pocket! So clutch. This is a popular travel bag, but it also makes a great dad bag if you need the extra space. Especially if you have multiple kiddos you are trying to keep up with. My full description is linked below.

I finally got around to trying out The Brown Buffalo Conceal backpack in 21L. I have been a long time admirer from afar, but I finally got my hands on one. There are some very cool things about this pack and there are some things that really make me scratch my head. I’ll breakdown the pack and my thoughts as I was testing it out.

The Brown Buffalo is a company based out of California.

This pack is built out of 1050D Cordura ballistic nylon. And it is some tough sh!t. This thing just feels and screams premium. There is nothing that is going to phase this fabric. This is an abrasion resistant material with DWR coating added to it as well. The bag comes in weighing just under 3 lbs. It’s not the lightest bag in the world, but like I said, this thing is built to last. All zippers are YKK, which is no shocker. Nothing but the best was used on this bag. The zippers are also aqua guarded. Between the zippers and the badass cordura material, this thing is pretty water resistant. There is nothing questioning the quality of the build of this pack, but there are some features that are a little controversial.

Let’s start by discussing the compartments and features of the bag. There is a large vertical pocket on the front of the pack. Perfect for right shoulder swingers! Finally! Take note Evergoods… It has a #5 YKK zipper that opens up to a large front compartment. This compartment has a hook and loop Velcro backing. There is absolutely no internal organization. The Brown Buffalo does sell hook and loop modular accessories. There is a key leash here, but nothing else. Ok, why in the world would I want to spend $250-$300 for a backpack that I have to buy more shit for? For that much, shouldn’t it come complete? Ugh. This really frustrates me. So unless you spend the extra money to buy the modular admin panels, anything you put in this large pocket will just go to the bottom. This is an awesome compartment that fails miserably without spending extra money.

Next, we have the main compartment. It has two big #10 YKK zippers with a clamshell opening for the main compartment. The interior is beautiful bright orange x-pac material. I do love me some orange. On the inside panel there is some interesting organization. There is a large mesh zipped pocket on the top of the panel. Perfect for all types of items bulky or flat… Below this pocket is two large slip/dump pockets. They are large enough to fit any size water bottles. Even a Nalgene bottle can fit with no problem. On the back panel, there is just hook and loop Velcro all along the back wall. So what is that for? You guessed it. You have to purchase your laptop sleeve to secure to this panel. Seriously? Again, an incomplete compartment.

The last compartment is a vertical zip along the back panel. On the inside, it has more hook and loop Velcro. If you conceal carry, this is awesome. Lots of room for different size weapons. You could also fit a laptop in this compartment if you want to use it for that. There is enough padding to protect your computer or tablet here.

Let’s discuss back panel and comfort. It offers an ergonomic Harness System: Apex 3D spacer-mesh applied on the back and underside of the shoulder straps. This is VERY comfortable. I’ll say it again, this is a very comfortable backpack. I was super impressed! The straps are wide and chunky! Just like I love them. This allows for heavier loads and the straps not eating into your shoulders. There is an adjustable and removable sternum strap. There is also a d-ring on each one for attaching more gear.
The grab handle is on the middle of the top main compartment. It’s pretty large for an easy grab, but can also look a little silly in my opinion. There are no other handles on this pack. There are some laser cut pieces of hypalon on the sides of the pack to attach more modular accessories. More sh!t to purchase… Oh, and there is a horizontal luggage pass through for a vertical stand!!! Awesome touch!

There is also no water bottles pockets. Of course there are the two large dump pockets in the main compartment, but if you use them for water bottles, you have used all of the internal organization… This bag is built so well, I just feel like they missed big time with this. I mean Go Ruck GR1’s have more organization than this. A lot more… I could see myself using this as an edc backpack, but it just doesn’t work as a dad bag. There is almost zero organization, and if you want it, you have to purchase it. Here’s my thing, if you spend $250+ on a backpack, you should not HAVE to purchase the organization for it. Add on accessories, sure no problem, but this is a situation where you have no choice. This is one of the best built backpacks I have ever used. It is beautiful. The materials are premium. The shape is unique and is super sleek. This pack is very popular and an all time best seller. I can definitely see why. For me, a working dad, I just can’t justify buying a bag at a premium price, then have to buy the organization for it separately.

This bag works for a lot of people. It is not an all time best seller for nothing. I honestly don’t think you can find a bag that has better materials or better quality. But for me functionality has to be there and this one didn’t really do it for me. And that is ok, because this is a slam dunk for a ton of people out there. I really hope this helps you decide if this is a pack you would like to give a go. Thanks as always for reading.
Carry on!

I have been using and testing the Eberlestock Switchblade for a little over 2 months now. I can tell you this thing packs a big punch with its wealth of features. There are so many cool features, every time I thought I had the bag figured out, I discovered something new. Eberlestock is a company founded in 1985 making gear for the outdoorsmen, the tactical operators, and most of all, the hunters. There is a ton of information out there about how badass the Eberlestock gear is for the outdoorsmen. What I want to show you is how the Switchblade can be an edc and most of all a “dad bag.”

For those who don’t know me, I have always been a big fan of Mystery Ranch. Especially their collaboration bags with Carryology. The unicorns, dragons, and Cerberus to name a few. As most of you in the bag world know, those bags are not available to buy from retail. They sell out in hours, so the only way to get one is the second hand market and that can get super pricey! The first time I saw the Eberlestock Switchblade, I was like, holy sh!t, that looks like a dragon. The dragon is a cool bag that has that “collector” vibe to it, but it doesn’t have a ton of features. Now I dont need a ton of features or something too gimmicky, but I like a little more organization. Enter the Switchblade, or what I call it now, the “Dragon Slayer.”

The Switchblade is built with some ripstop nylon that can definitely handle the elements. The company does not list the exact details of the materials. The bag does offer YKK zippers throughout. YKK are the best zippers in the game, so it’s good to see that quality in this pack. The zipper pulls are very easy to grab and pull with one finger. The pack comes in at just under 30 liters. I know that may seem a little big for an edc bag, but it doesn’t not carry like a big 30 liter bag. To me it carries more like a 25L pack. I am not saying it doesn’t carry 30L, Im saying it doesn’t feel as big as other 30L bags. The bag comes in several colors including black, gray, military green, and multicam.

Let’s discuss the outside of the bag along with the quick access pockets. The front of the bag offers 3 rows of small molle webbing. I LOVE this small webbing. It makes the bag look less tactical. Alongside the front panel, there is a vertical zippered pocket. This gave me Evergoods CTB/CPL vibes. The pocket is big enough to fit an 11” iPad to give you an idea of the size.

There are dual water bottle pockets. They offer some elasticity with a drawcord to tighten and secure a water bottle. They aren’t the deepest pockets though. They will definitely hold your yeti rambler bottles, but they should be secured so they do not fall out when the bag is laid down. Above each water bottle pocket is a few rows of that cool ass small molle webbing. This can come in handy to secure the bottle or taller items like a tripod. Next, we have vertical zippered pockets on each side of the pack. Think internal water bottle size. They can easily store large and tall water bottle or just another way to have quick access to your gear. For a dad going to the ballpark all day, perfect for yeti ramblers filled with beer. Yep, I need at least two of them;)

Let’s move to the top of the bag with the quick access pocket, or what many call it on a bag this style, the “brain.” On the Dragon, the brain pocket is wide open with no internal organization, but not here. The Switchblade offers a deep brain pocket with a middle dividing panel. On that panel, there are two padded slip pockets with a Velcro cord to keep gear secure. There two more flat slip pockets as well as a few pen slots. So you can either throw your items in the big pocket or you can organize it and put things in there neat. I like the option! Ha. Now the reason there are elastic Velcro cords on those padded slip pockets are for storing mags, but honestly, they get in my damn way. I would have like to seen maybe some elasticity to secure gear. Im not big on having to unstrap things in my quick access pocket. On the outside of the pocket (the top of the bag) there is some more of that badass molle webbing. Lastly, there is a 2”x4” Velcro area for morale patches on the front of the bag. Oh, almost forgot, the grab handle is super nice. It is padded with some cushion for a comfortable carry. Well done guys!

Now, the main compartment. The main compartment is thoughtfully designed. On the inside of the lid, there is, you guessed it, more small molle webbing. There are two sleeves against the back wall. One for a laptop and one for a tablet. Of course a water bladder can go here as well. The laptop compartment is big. It can fit at least a 16” laptop, probably even a 17”. On the outside of the sleeve is hook and loop Velcro along the whole panel. This gives you tons of option to attach tons of shit. The possibilities are endless. Along the inside side panels, there are more slip pockets. On the right side, it is one single pocket that goes down the length of the bag. I keep a tripod there. On the other side, there two sections of pockets. The top section is divided into 3 slip pockets perfect for a flashlight or a pocket knife, which is what I carry there. On the bottom section, there is just one pocket about 6” or so deep. This pack offers great internal organization in the main compartment.

Now, let’s get to the back of the pack. This thing has a shit ton going on. Let’s start with the harness system. This harness is 100% adjustable. You can move it up or down to adjust for your perfect fit. Now, it’s a b!tch to adjust, but it is an awesome feature to have. The shoulder straps are very well padded, but a thinner padding. It is also ventilated which is a nice touch. They are WIDE! At 3.5”, these guys make it super comfortable even with heavy loads. With the thinner foam padding, the width doesn’t seem too wide or bulky. For me, they feel great. They are different, but in a very good way. There is an included sternum strap that is adjustable and removable. Next, we have the back panel. This is the thickest ass padding I have ever seen on a backpack! It is raised a full inch. There are two strips of this foam padding making a “V” shape going down the back panel. This “V” pattern allows for some major airflow helping keep your back cool while you carry this guy for longer periods of time. Ok, for me, I have been torn on this. It definitely feels “different.” Not a bad different, but it will take some getting used to, which I did. Especially after longer periods of wearing it. The longer you wear it, the more comfortable it gets, if that makes sense.

Now for the last feature. There is a secret magnetic compartment behind the back panel. This compartment goes all the way through to the other side. It is lined with soft Velcro. Now this was made for conceal carry, but for those of you that have no need for that, it can be used as a luggage pass through.

Now, let’s discuss uses! This is a badass dad bag! I know shocker right? For the dad’s with young kids/babies, this is a dream bag! There are pockets and compartments everywhere for diapers, wipes, bottles, toys, change of clothes, etc. Not to mention carry the things you need. For me, my kids are 8 and 9, so I am at the ballpark all the time. I can fit my small ryobi battery operated fan, two 26oz bottles for cold beer, snacks, a jacket, a spare gloves for my kid, and I still have room. I also carry my Eberlestock Fade Flex sling inside the pack. I use it as a quick grab. I keep my wallet, extra charger, sunglasses case and it has room for my phone. As you can see, this tough outdoor built bag can serve as an edc bag and as an incredible dad bag. This is one of the best dad bags I have tested so far. It is literally designed to kick ass in the Bagdad world!

There are only a few things I didn’t like or would like to see different. First, it will stand on its own if you have it packed right, but it will want to face plant if you do not have a solid base at the bottom of the bag. Next, I can do without the elastic bungee cords on the inside of the brain pocket. Again, just too much going on there. Lastly, though not a complaint, I do wish the back panel padding was not quite as raised. I think it will make for a more conventional comfortable feeling.

As you can see, that was some nit-picky crap I was complaining about… The bottom line is, I absolutely enjoy the hell out of the Switchblade! It truly is the Dragon Slayer. It has the look of a dragon and the functionality of a CTB. The bag comes in at $249 usd, which is a little on the pricey side. But what you get in this bag, I think the value is right where it needs to be. I only have two regrets. One, I wish I would have known about Eberlestock sooner! And second, I wish I had gotten the multicam color of the pack. Damn, it is fine!!! The Switchblade is absolutely Bagdad approved. I would highly recommend this bag to all types of dads as it tackles many needs! If you would like to make a purchase, please use my link provided as it helps me to keep bringing in depth reviews for dad gear and it will provide a 10% discount for you!

I am happy to answer any questions and help in any way I can. As always, I appreciate your support!

Let’s discuss the Citta slings. Fyro’s newest edition to their young badass arsenal. With two sizes, the Citta can fit just about everyone’s small sling needs. I am fortunate enough to own both of them. Do I use them both? Yes, I honestly do. I will breakdown how I use each one and hopefully help you decide if one of these will fit your needs. There are a bunch of cool features packed in these small guys. So, let’s get started and talk about what these guys can do.

The Citta slings are made by a company called Fyro. Fyro is a young company started by Aaron Radcliffe from Nomads Nation. If you haven’t seen his reviews, do yourself a favor and subscribe to his YouTube channel. He is one of the best out there. After the successful launch of the Tenax 22, Fyro followed up with the Citta slings line and the Levo travel backpack. I have a separate review on the Levo. Please check it out when you get a chance. Citta means “city” in Italian. In American, it means “badass sling”. It comes in two sizes, a 1L and a 3L. These guys are identical in every way but the size. They come in that beautiful p/u coated 300d Kodra nylon which is a tough fabric that can stand up to the elements. The interior is made of their signature 100d honeycomb ripstop in that gorgeous copper color. All zippers are ykk reverse coil for a buttery smooth experience. None of these zippers are aqua guarded, which is fine by me. I much rather the non p/u coated zippers. I know a lot of you prefer them for extra weather protection, but they also can fade or peel over time. So pick your poison.

Let’s talk about the features these guys offer. There are three zippered compartments on each of these slings. The front pocket is a simple dump pocket with no internal organization. There is a removable key leash and a cord pass through in there, but other than that, this pocket if for whatever you want. It has two small darts in each of the bottom corners to help it offer its own independent volume. Ok, it does have “some” independent volume, but this sling is a slimmer profile. I have been able to put my sunglasses in this pocket in both slings actually. Now, it has to be a flatter folding pair of shades to fir in there safely. A big pair of Oakley’s or Costa’s are not fitting in there. My Ray bans and Maui Jims fit just fine. The zipper also has a small nylon loop to pull the zipper through so an extra layer of theft protection. This little loop is placed about a half inch from the end, which means if you do not use it, the zipper will not close completely. That thing drives me crazy! When this review is over I am cutting that sh!t off. I can absolutely appreciate how it can be very useful for some people, but for a normal ole dad, no thank you.

The main compartment does offer a good bit of internal organization. The zippers open up almost full clamshell, but there are gussets on the sides to prevent the sling from opening all the way and spilling out your contents. I love this feature. Brilliant! The inside front panel has a stretchy mesh zippered pocket with a super silky smooth interior fabric. Moving on to the middle of the compartment, there is a padded divider. On this divider are two super mesh slip pockets. These are a perfect design for me. I keep my wallet on in and a magnetic phone charger in the other. Two items that I don’t leave home without. Behind this divider is a super padded pocket which would be great for a kindle or in my case, phone. I keep my phone there because it is padded and it is separated from the rest of the compartment. There are two zippers on the main compartment along with one of those really really fun zipper lock loops… For me, this is one of the better designed compartments for a smaller sling. It’s not too much, but just enough for your essentials.

The last compartment is the back zippered compartment. It is a flat compartment on the back of the sling with no independent volume. Items here need to be pretty flat. Think passport, wallet, cash, or even your phone. For a Bagdad, it is the perfect spot for my beer koozie. For people on the go out in crowded areas, this may be the pocket for your more valuable items.

Next is the strap. This strap is badass! It’s perfect. It is smooth but it has some texture to it so it does not slide around on your shoulder every time you bend over. A lot of companies are going to the silky smooth seatbelt material on the straps. No thank you! This was my main gripe on the V2 Rework Toshi slings. When I wear a sling, I need it to stay in place. I don’t want it sliding around every time I twist or turn. It keeps getting better. The straps are removable by metal g-hooks which allow you to completely remove the strap. What do you get when you remove a strap from a sling? A tech pouch! I absolutely use these as tech pouches pretty much every day. There is nothing better than a bag that has two ways to be functional.

Now I will discuss what I think about the Citta slings. For me, they are the PERFECT pocket relievers. In the 1L, I keep my phone, wallet, charger, beer koozie, and sunglasses when I’m inside. These are all items that would normally be in my pocket. I have graduated from ever putting all the crap in my pockets again. My pants stay up better and my ass doesn’t hurt. I love how compact the 1L is. I use these 3L when I have a little extra to carry such as on trips or on a plane because I can fit my Bose over the ear headphones in there. Yep, a 3L sling that can fit all those items and still keep that slim sleek profile! Folks, it does not get better than that. Honestly, whichever one I am not using, the other one is a tech pouch in my backpack. Now I have both sling sizes with me for whichever one I need.

To compare, I would say the Rework Toshi 2.5L and the Bellroy Venture Ready sling 2.5 offer similar experiences. Each has its trade offs, as the Toshi tends to bulk up and puff out and the Bellroy is REALLY small. The Citta just hit that perfect spot for me! So, for the first time in a year, the Rework Toshi sling does not hold the top spot in Bagdad’s sling rankings. The Citta is king. The absolute only negative thing I can find is the security loops on the zippers, which can easily be removed. It may be a little more on the slim side, but that is what it is. A slim sleek pocket relieving sling. And a badass tech pouch. So the Citta is obviously Bagdad approved. Simply put, I strongly recommend this sling!

As always, thank you for reading. If you would like to make a purchase, I ask you to use the links provided as it helps me to keep making badass reviews and feeds my kiddos! I’d love to hear your comments and opinions. I am happy to answer any questions as well. Carry on bagdads!

Rankings are fun! I have been testing a lot of bags this past year. I actually use and test them for at least 3 weeks to get a good feel for what the bags can do, how they feel, and how they wear over time. The Bagdad rankings are simply my opinions of what I am using and giving me the best experiences.

What say you? Agree? Disagree? Hit me up and let me know your top slings.

Bagdad Top 5 Slings

1. Fyro Citta Sling 1L & 3L

2. Rework Toshi Sling 6L

3. Evergoods CAS 2

4. Eberlestock Fade Flex

5. Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L

Fyro Citta Slings - The Citta slings are topping my list. I made a promise to myself to stop carrying so much shit in my pockets. For me they are the perfect pocket reliever. The Korda nylon has become one of my favorite fabrics. I find myself using the 1L a little more on day to day carry. The guys are also awesome tech pouches because the straps are removable and they compress down really well. I have a detailed review coming out Wednesday 4/29/26!! Be sure to check it out!

Rework Toshi Sling 6L - I could have gone with the 5L or the 2.5L as well. I really like the 2.5, but my wife took it and I will not be getting that one back. The 5L is great. No complaints, but the 6L is just a tad larger and it comes with the adjustable padded strap which is actually really nice. Rework just gets it. This is probably the most recommendable sling in the world. You can find my detailed review here. Rework Toshi Slings

Evergoods CAS 2L - What can I say? This sling will never leave my top 5. Why? It is the best item in the world that kicks ass at two things! It is an awesome sling as well as the perfect fanny pack. A lot of brands try to market as “it can do both” but no one does it like the CAS 2. I have this in 840D nylon as well as the ultra Kludde version. Both are incredible. My detailed review is here. CAS 2

Eberlestock Fade Flex - This is the perfect conceal carry sling. It’s comfortable and well built. I am actually still testing this one out. I have been so impressed so far, I had to include it in my list. Look for the review coming soon.

Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L - This guy remains one of my fav’s. It is an awesome pocket reliever! This is the sling that got me out of carrying a bunch of shit in my pockets and put it in a small sling. I have the Baida ripstop nylon version. Don’t think they make the ripstop version anymore which is a damn shame. One of the coolest fabrics ever! My full review is here. Bellroy Venture Ready Sling
