Yukon Outfitters Overwatch Sling Pack - Preview




Today we are taking a look at the Yukon Outfitters Overwatch Sling Pack.

$49 on their web site.

OD Green, Storm Grey, and Coyote/Foliage two-tone, black,

Looks just like
Maxpedition Sitka Gearslinger pack but a LOT cheaper!  The Max pack runs around $110


The maxpedition bag is made from stronger materials and for those who are really hard on their gear, that may be a better choice.  So far though I have no reason to think that this bag is of poor quality but I have seen a report of the zippers failing.

I picked this up from Woot.com for $30.  One of the viewers spotted this deal, shared it and I figured I would check it out as well.

This is my first experience with Yukon Outfitters.

  1. Great review, thanks !

    How do you compare the Yukon Overwatch Sling Pack to the Rothco Tactisling Transport Pack ? I know you have tested both.

    They are very similar in term of size and features but what about overall quality, durability, comfort or extra hidden features ?

    Thanks for your feedback :)

    I've just discovered your website and videos: great stuff there and awesome reviews !
