Which Gearslinger?

I sold off a Colossus to purchase a Kodiak, right about the time that I learned that my better half and I are expecting our first child. I saw this as an opportunity to get a larger bag with a more comfortable carry method, as well as having the ability to be used as a daddy-diaper-bag. I have some get-home essentials in it, with plenty of room left over for baby related gear.

Currently carrying a basic first aid kit (self assembled), a GI poncho, GI hankerchief, flashlight, leatherman, SS water bottle (no liner, can use it to cook in directly), deer skin leather gloves, an Atwood whistle, and a few other smaller items. There is a LOT of room left over, and I see how it could easily get overstuffed and over weight for one strap. I like having the extra room over the Sitka, for bulky but still relatively lightweight items like jackets or blankets.

It IS this one, isn't it?

Nope that one is the Monsoon. That puppy has over 1500 c.i. of carrying capacity. Would've gone for it except for concerns over weight.

Typhoon looks just about the same as the malaga. except dedicated right shoulder carry and 300 more c.i.. Plus the ability to strap something to the bottom. With fixed pockets off one side, so a little less expandability.

productwizard.com still has them on their site and so does botach tactical.

Lapp Dance. The Kodiak was a close runner up! I really like the wau it can be accessed by sliding it around to the front.

Like I said before I think around 1000c.i. is the top for comfort with one of these designs. Otherwise it will wind up too heavy.
