Kadet was the first sling I ever got and it’s what got me into the world of carry… even tho Chrome did improve the internal organization a little, it still boggles my mind that after all this time, the Kadet has some of the most basic and/or least advanced organization… but as you’d put it it’s a bag you would live OUT OF rather than FROM because you’d use pouches and kits… 😝
A little hack from a fellow Kadet owner. The car visor-sized Cacoon Grid-it organizer fits PERFECT in the inner pocket. Tons of extra storage capabilities, it doesn't add any bulk to the bag, and it even works as a rigid divider between your items. I love to put cables, batteries, etc. in it since it's so easy to pull it out and toss it in a bin for TSA checks or another bag.
Does the chrome bag jiggle a lot? Make noise well walking? We use car seat buckles in the fire service. They are robust and work great for first responders equipment.
What is your favorite all around outdoor backpack with the toughest materials I was thinking about the olive 2.0 unicorn but I can’t make my mind up and I don’t want to regret my purchase I own a Cerberus and love it but it’s my everyday pack I would like a nice 2 or 3 day pack that I can use for outdoor activities and not worry about it failing me.
Yep.I had and returned the Kadet before I bought the Insidious. It fits a 12.9" iPad Pro (snug) and I can also use it as a packing cube in a hard shell for use as an edc when I get to my destination, instead of an unstructured and uncomfortable packable backpack .

Haha, good stuff

Great video! FYI: The D-ring under the Chrome buckle can be used as a bottle opener.
Great tip! I forgot to mention that! 🤦🏼♂️

Is there alot of strap for bigger guys?
I don’t notice any noise from the buckle. And the straps are quite long.
Greenroom136 is awesome! You should review their Northseeker backpack JB!
FWIW I looked at these two slings and went with the Kargo Loculus.
On the list! 👊🏻
Found a Xpac MetroRunner on the secondary market… looking forward to it.
I had the Metromonger and found it to be way too large.
Nice!
I have an insidious and a loculus so i have those sizes covered. Was eyeing a metromonger though.
Good choices!
I also went for the loculus. Like the inside pockets better. Also the vx comes with water resistant zippers.
Missed the bottom Velcro pockets in the MetroRunner for your MARTA Breeze card 😊
Doh!! You’re right! 🤦🏼♂️

I really like the EcoPak Evergoods stuff...but if you are focused on outdoor stuff then Mystery Ranch is the place. Radix maybe?
The green room, oh did I mention the green room Yes definitely the green room The green room takes the cake❤
I agree
Did you get an additional shoulder strap on the Metro or is it standard?
Standard
No but it's about 50 lb lighter than that other buckle😂
😜
All right no more going to the gym I just grabbed my sling😂
👊🏻
Had a Kadet, prefer Defy Insidious.
Lots of Insidious talk…may have to do another look
I think I would just keep my lock mounted on the bike personally😅
I can see that
Jb , i am from malaysia, i am your fans 🔥🔥🔥
Nice!! Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
Kargo loculus wants to enter the ring.
It’s a deep rabbit hole!
Can you fit a full sized iPad in the Kadet?
Yes you can. The mid-sized 12" iPad
The winner is Chimera sling I got today 😂
Nice!!
Defy insidious would like a word
Haha, yes!
