Bought the 18 inch in the outlet. I was hope it would be big enough to fit one of my folding stock pistols. It worked out fine, plus a G22 converted to 9mm and 3 mags and other accessories. I added some hook and loop attachments inside...zips up fine. Will probably add some ballistic protection inside the back panel in the future. But don't be afraid to order the 18 inch, it proved to be plenty big enough.

As the world gets wilder and crazier I decided to take the next step in my family and I personal protection and include a trunk gun for my EDC. I watched tons of YouTube videos and read the reviews of this pack and decided to take a chance. It did not disappoint. As an Gang/Narco LEO I feel a sense of responsibility to protect those who can’t be protected or protect themselves and this setup allows me to do just that. I’m able to carry a full IFAK & then some, flex cuffs, a10.5 AR w a law tactical folder as well as a micro chest rig. This kit literally allows me to stop the killing and more importantly save the dying. I’m seriously considering buying another one for my .300blk out. 10/10 you won’t be disappointed.

Fits my honey badger perfectly and has enough rigid backing and bottom to hold form and keep its shape. It’s non conspicuous and sturdy but also lightweight. The straps are also very comfortable

Producto de excelente calidad, me ha gustado mucho sus acabados, su calidad de costuras y de materiales.
Perfecto para uso diario, trabajo, polígono de tiro etc.

First, I have many “ccw” bags- 5.11, Maxpedition, Vanquest, and some others, for my handgun carry and just general use. The main problem with them is 1) they look too “tactical” and 2) they have poor designs as far as holding your firearm stable and securely. It seems to be an after thought in their design.

I discovered Eberlestock through a FB ad and was quite impressed. I did my research and first ordered the Fade Sling for my Springfield XDM Elite 10mm. I was very impressed with the quality of the bag, especially the rigidity of the inner panels, allowing you to attach holsters and mag carriers on the hook and loop material without it collapsing under the weight.

In the main compartment of my Fade Sling, I have my handgun and an AR mag, in the secondary compartment, I have a triple mag carrier as well as an adjustable carrier for my Boker Kalishnakov 74 folding knife and a Surefire 6PX Tactical flashlight. In the smaller front zippered compartment, I have pepper spray and a tourniquet.

Therefore the bag is heavy, as you can imagine, but the bag supports the weight very well and I have had zero issues thus far. And I love the non “tactical” look of the bag and its smaller size, yet still being able to conceal all of the above items with room to spare.

I own a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 and wanted a bag to conceal it in. I naturally turned to Eberlestock because of my satisfaction with the Fade Sling. I was impressed with the Fade Transport series and purchased the Fade Transport 21. My DD has a 10.3” barrel and a Law Tactical folder but also has a Huxwrk Blastphemy flash diverter which extends the overall length of the weapon to 22 1/4”.

I was unsure about the additional length but ordered it anyway. Unfortunately, Eberlestock sent me another Fade Sling instead, but after emailing customer service, the issue was quickly resolved and my Fade Transport 21 arrived soon thereafter. So here is my review of the Fade Transport 21…

Very impressed with the bag. First of all, my DD fits in the bag, although I have to position the weapon muzzle up ( which I think is better anyway) and I have to pull the front portion of the bag up and over the Huxwrks flash diverter in order to zip it shut, but not a big deal. It fits.

The hardened bottom of the bag is excellent, well thought out, and very needed in a rifle bag. The quick release buckle that holds your weapon in place is absolutely awesome. It works very well. The rear panel compartment is very roomy, allowing me to store 6 mags with room to spare. The bag is very comfortable to wear and blends in, not shouting “gun inside”.

Here are my negatives, which are very small in comparison…
1) please make more color options available as with the Little Trick and the Bandit. A two tone “non tactical” (hate that phrase) color would not only break up the color pattern but make it more non threatening or less obvious if it was in something other than black or earth tone colors.

2) The T-handle zipper pulls are awesome but would be even better if they were a little larger and more of them.

3) The chest strap connecting the 2 shoulder straps should be a quick release like the one securing your weapon, imo.

Overall, the bag is awesome and I have plans to purchase more Eberlestock products. I am not aware of any other ccw bag that comes close to this design and quality. FYI, I did replace some of the zipper pulls, as seen in the photo’s, with large Maxpedition zipper pulls because we know that fine motor skills disappear when under maximum stress. Also, the mag holders are from Savior Equipment and the knife/flaslight holder is from M-Tac, both of which can be found on Amazon.

I really like this bag, it’s certainly well made. The straps are comfortable. My 7.5” 300blk is a pretty tight fit and doesn’t leave room for much else, i kinda wish that the main compartment was able to expand/stretch a little bit. The QD buckle that holds your rifle tight is a nice touch too, it helps to keep the gun from jostling around in the bag. Overall, nice bag, but i kind of wish i got the 21L version or that i had even smaller gun to put in it.

I purchased this bag after watching a video about it and the Sig Rattler LT on YouTube. I bought both at the same time and couldn't be happier. The Rattler fits perfect in it. In my opinion, it is a very well thought out bag. I like the discreet design and how the interior panels accommodate velcro for spare mags and whatnot. I will be purchasing a pouch from Eberlestock soon to hold first aid stuff. Great idea from the team at Eberlestock.

This pack is great I was able to modify it to fit my needs.

My Fade Transport is perfect . It’s exactly what I was looking for in size and being discrete. My Extar EP9 is about 3” too long but it fits perfectly when I “take it down”. I recommend for anyone looking for a good “grey man “ backpack.

Got this Fade Transport 21 for my 8” barreled 300 Blackout with folding brace. Overall size and appearance of pack is really nice. Here’s where I’m disappointed: Zippers are on small side—not nearly as nice as ones on my 5.11 LVC18. And what’s with the gloss black finish on zipper hardware? A satin or matte would be better. After a few test fits with my gun, the plastic pull-tab on the end of the quick release strap buckle came off. Figured out how to reattach, but shouldn’t have popped off so soon. For a pack of this price, there are virtually no interior organization pouches. The all-loop interior is nice for accessories, but everything’s friggin a la carte here. Would have been nice if it came with 2 or three accessories, like an admin pouch and maybe a couple others. The soft-lined glasses compartment is nice, but in the wrong spot. It’s in the main, middle compartment where my AR goes, and the folded end of the gun goes nearly all the way to top of middle compartment, making the small soft-lined compartment practically useless for glasses. Should have put glasses compartment in front compartment, accessible from top front. And my biggest gripe—that laughably thin, small carry handle strap on top of pack. WAY too small and thin for a bag designed to carry an AR pistol/SBR + loaded mags, a pistol in back compartment with more mags, a body armor panel, etc. I’ve seen stouter handle straps on toddler’s soft lunch boxes. Wonder how it will hold up.

I’m moving from a Gregory backpack which has been a favorite.

The Transport first impression is that it’s not as heavy as competitors bags - Weight is a big deal to me. Furthermore, loaded out it feels light on my back and hugs me comfortably.

The layout and design is well thought out and I love the idea of customizing it to my specific needs with Velcro inserts.

My one disappointment/ request for enhancement would be to add a better carry handle at the top. While backpacks are typically carried by their shoulder straps I am in the habit of picking up my Gregory by a carry handle which is padded and well designed into the top of the bag. Outside of this one personal adjustment this is a great bag!

this bag is legit. This bag has to be the most compact available. The Sig Rattler fits in it perfect.

This thing punches way above its weight. The Fade Transport is compact, but the layout is smart, plenty of space for EDC essentials without turning into a bulky brick. I’ve been running it daily and it fits right into my system whether I’m heading to the gym, out in town, or at the range.

Zippers are smooth, the material is tough, and it rides close to the body. Low-vis enough to not draw attention, but still rugged and functional. Fits a tourniquet, multitool, flashlight, wallet, keys, and even a compact pistol without printing.

If you're looking for a clean, reliable pack that works hard without looking tacticool, this bag gets it done.

High quality product with customization possibility. That is what I needed.

We recently purchased the Fade Transport for a go-bag giveaway for our products. Ebelestock simply makes the best bags available and thought it only made sense to pair it with the best Meals Ready-to-Eat, Essential Provisions Field Fuel. So when disaster strikes or you are out on a hunt or part of your EDC you are prepared with the best of the best.
