Helikon Tex Bandicoot fanny pack. Works very well.

I wear a Kavu Spectator most of the summer. The Kavu Fairbanks wallet fits perfect in the small front pocket and a Glock 43 with a pinky extension in the main pocket.
I have a kydex trigger guard holster on the 43 and run the lanyard around the belt strap. To draw I unzip and just pull the gun out and the trigger holster stays attached to the belt.

I wear a t shirt and the t shirt covers the pack and you can’t even tell I am wearing it. I do make sure to buy my athletic shorts with one zipper pocket for my phone and key.

I have a Vanquest Dendrite in grey. I believe it’s the large one. I only use it when traveling for wipes, keys, cash wallet/credentials and other necessities. I frequently use it in Vegas slung over my shoulder. So many folks use similar bags so I’ve never been asked by security to look into it. The strap is long enough that I can wear it in front if I’m in crowds for security, or flip it around so it rides behind me.

I have never used it to carry a firearm as I prefer those to be on the body, but the pack frees up my pockets so I can carry a j-frame, P365 in a front pocket. I never carry anything in my back pockets and haven’t done so for 2 decades.

5.11 Daily Deploy sling bag. For a fanny style pack, I use a 5.11 Rapid Waist Pack.

I got this CCW sling bag. Economical and it works. Screams mall ninja but I like it. Don't use it everyday. I also like it for driving. Not easy for someone to try to pull it off you. Lots of pockets and the quick access to your weapon works really well.

I've had this Condor for several years. Very good quality and functionality.
I'm not sure it will coordinate well with Crocs though.

The nice thing about a vest is.
When you are out and about and have to use the rest room.

All you do is put your gun in the vest pocket while you get your business done.

Still on your body , not on the hand rail or tank lid or baby table.

I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth out of a no name $20 black cordura fanny pack I bought probably 10 years ago. Not super “tactical” but designed to carry a gun as well as a couple more zipper pockets.

I just ordered a new one from Amazon for my upcoming trip. Not a gun carrier, but same basic style. I’m very picky though, I don’t like the ones where the buckle is at your back, I prefer it to be in the front in one side or another.

Maybe a little paranoid, but don’t like the idea of being in a crowd and someone behind you unfastening it and trying to make off with it and the contents.

This one seems to meet that requirement

I ccw 90% of the time with a fanny pack. It is green and does not look tactical. Lots of tourists here with all kinds of fanny packs, shoulder slings, day packs, etc, so I don't stand out in the crowd. Not that I care these days anyway if a bank teller or fellow Person of Walmart suspects it might contain a gun.

I easily fit a wallet, phone, and keys in it.

Overall I prefer a fanny pack to a cross body sling for comfort.

I like and use Pacsafe sling bags and backpacks. The draw for me is they are anti-theft and slash proof.

One like mine,
I had 16 patches from national parks, monuments and national Forrest that we've visited sewn on.

I have a couple (now dc'd) Kelty sling bags that I like.

I’ve decided to go with the Viktos, it was on the short list along with some others posted here. But the 25% military discount got me, I’ll see how it works and if need be go with one of the other choices posted here. I like the Helikon a lot.

I would love to buy one of the sling bags but they're just too expensive for me to justify at this momen.

I rarely wear clothes with enough pockets to carry what I like to carry on a daily basis. I've always thought sling packs were a good option over a fat ass wallet and stuffed pockets.

What has worked for you? and conversely not worked?

Doesn't need to be for concealed carry as I wont be doing that often off body.

I like Hill People gear. Use one of their chest bags for woods/bear country hiking and ccw when tramping through the underbrush or hunting. But they also make an awesome belt bag or two. Solid, well laid out bags. Doesn't specifically say "made in USA" so I suspect it isn't, but they are family owned American business using American materials and employing Americans, and they're big proponents of liberty and the 2A. A lot to like. Check them out: Hill People

The offerings from Viktos look really good. Very tempting!

James, please give us a full review after you’ve used you rig for a while.
