The UTG messenger bag is a direct copy of the Maxpedition bag at a much lower cost. I’ve looked at both and decided that the money saved on the UTG is definitely worth it, given the build quality on the UTG is very good.
This bag would work okay for a short hike, a camera bag (Not DSLR though), small airplane carry on for incidentals.
I am using it for carrying assorted ‘crap’ for myself and two young boys when we go on trips to Disney and other such places. Has more than enough room to carry cameras (still and compact HD Video both), extra batteries and cards, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottle, keys, liquid bandage (hey, they’re boys…), antiseptic, two-way radio, extra socks for wet boy feet (again, they’re boys…), and much more. Yeah, I use it basically the same way my wife would use her large purse and I’m not embarrassed! lol. Some of the compartments have a rubberized type sealing between them an other compartments, which makes holding wet stuff (such as wet boy socks) away from other stuff you want to keep dry.
A lot easier to carry and access than even a small backpack since it can ride comfortably on the front of your body. Rather than having to take the pack off each time you want to get something in or out. Personally, I would not take something like this in the place of a Camalback for hiking, but that’s a whole different ballgame.
The only thing that UTG should do is have matching buckle plastic hardware. Its pretty standard on most packs now. Put foliage hardware on ACU packs, OD on OD packs, black on black, etc. Rather than black on everything.
