Anyone have any experience with the HPG Kit bag?

Seems like it would be a great way to carry (where allowed) when outdoors. I like to do a lot of backpacking and carrying can be a problem due to the waist belt straps on a pack. In addition to storing a firearm, I think this kit bag would also be a great place to store a small survival kit in case I lose my primary pack for some reason. I also love how inconspicuous it looks. No need to scare any anti-gunners on the trail.

I have an Original Kit Bag in foliage and love it. The back compartment is discreet but still relatively easy to get open if you need it. (Takes practice though and I use a kydex trigger guard holster/cover just to be extra safe). I have carried a G19 and P226 and both stay put without sliding around.

You can also carry things you need quick access to while on the move like a map, compass, cell phone, snack, gloves, etc.

If you are carrying a larger/heavier pistol I would go lighter on other items though. It does well up to the 4-5lb range. After that I would want it attached to the straps of a backpack with the included lifters for extra support. If wearing it that way... load as heavy as you want.

Thanks romadant! I'll be placing an order for one soon and look forward to it. I will keep your tip about the weight issues in mind.
