I like it, and HPG makes good quality stuff.

I use one of their chest packs while hunting, biking, kayaking, and occasionally while hiking. Great for holding a concealed handgun as well as other gear and normal pocket contents, either in conjunction with a backpack or instead of a backpack. And I believe they were the originators of the concept/design.

I like it too and make at least four long distance drives each year.

My only complaint...or suggestion, would be attached wheels for rolling it.

Excellent idea to be able to travel with a shorty rifle undetected as one checks into a motel.

I am an HPG fan. At $265 I would jump if it was a roller bag. Fully loaded and with an AR in the bottom compartment it will be heavy to tote around.

I like it. With all the crap going on in the world I like to travel with a rifle, and this would make it really easy to do that. I like that it doesn't have wheels...the whole point of a duffel is to be light and compressable. Adding a fame and wheels makes it rigid and heavy, and that's just more you have to lift and lug getting in and out of vehicles or over rough terrain. I love my duffel bag for travel compared to rigid wheeled luggage...it's only as big as it needs to be to accommodate what I have in it, and I can cram it into smaller car trunks while fitting more stuff in it. Also, since it weight less than a pound empty that's more stuff I can take while still remaining under airline weight limits, or that much less I don't have to carry if it's not maxed out.

I'd prefer pockets on each end rather than just one end. My current duffel is set up like that, and when I'm living out of the bag I like the ability to have socks and underwear in one end pocket, big clothes in the middle, and dirties go in the other end pocket. And since the goal is to be discreet, I'd prefer that the rifle compartment be the same color as the rest of the bag. Other than that, very cool product!

Exactly.

Not to mention that because it's relatively compact, you'd have to add a retractable handle system as well in order for the wheels to be on the ground.

Wheels suck. This coming from a guy who depends on work travel luggage wheels. I like it.

I like the company and their products. It’s true that walking in with just the duffel is nice. I’ve broken down an AR and stuffed it on top multiple times when traveling. This keeps it from banging around, which is a plus. And a couple loaded mags have their place.

Size shouldn’t be any bigger. My work duffel already gets heavy and it doesn’t have 10-12 pounds of AR and mags in it.

It'd be better if it were all one color. I suppose the black one is.
