Eberlestock Bando Bag FAQs

What size gun fits in this bag? 

The Standard size fits small guns like the Glock 43 or Sig P365. The Eberlestock Bando XL size fits larger guns like the Glock 19 or full-size pistols. If you have a light or red dot sight on your gun, the Eberlestock Bando Bag XL is the best choice to make sure it fits.

Can I wear this bag across my chest? 

Yes. You can wear the Bando bag Eberlestock around your waist like a belt or over your shoulder as a sling. The bag comes with an extra Bando bag extension strap piece to make it longer, so it sits comfortably across your chest.

What is the difference between the Eberlestock Fade Flex vs Bando Bag? 

The Fade Flex is often seen as the upgraded version of the Eberlestock Bando Bag. The Fade Flex has a longer strap (55 inches) that is easier to adjust for cross-body wear and a rectangular shape that fits larger guns better. It also has a special "T" zipper pull for faster drawing. The Bando Bag is a more affordable option that looks like a standard hiking pack. It works best for smaller guns because it gets narrower at the bottom.

Does this bag look like a military bag?

 No. It is designed to look like a normal fanny pack. This helps you carry your gear in public places without letting people know you have a firearm. It blends in well in stores or on hiking trails.

Will the belt fit my waist?

 The belt adjusts to fit waist sizes from 31.5 inches up to 44 inches. If you need more room or want to wear it over a heavy jacket, you can use the included Eberlestock Bando Bag extension strap to make it longer.

Do I need a special holster inside the bag?

The bag has a velcro strap inside to hold your gun in place, but many people add a trigger guard or a velcro holster for extra safety. This covers the trigger so it does not get pulled by accident while inside the pocket.

Where do I put my medical kit?

 There is a special hidden sleeve underneath the main flap. It is made specifically to hold a tourniquet so you can grab it fast in an emergency without digging through your pockets.

Can I carry other things besides a gun?
