Product Review
I've owned my Duluth Pack Range Bag for almost a month and have used it dozens of times for my trips to the range or for pistol league matches.
The overall design is an elegant and simple interpretation of the range bag, which I very much appreciate. Most range bags are overly complicated with too many pockets, PALS webbing, or other "tacti-cool" elements.
The Duluth Pack Range Bag provides enough storage in the main compartment to carry 3 full size pistols cases, targets, plus enough ammunition for my needs. The double zipper opening is very smooth and snag free, giving you full access to the main compartment. The front pocket holds my eye and ear pro, lens cleaner, multi-tool, and other small items. The back pocket holds my staple gun for hanging targets and a box of staples. This bag really is the ideal size for my needs.
There are some things I would like to see done differently.
As far as I can tell, the leather shoulder pad can not be adjusted beyond the metal tri-glide on the shoulder strap. This keeps the shoulder pad from being ideally located on top of the shoulder when the strap length is adjusted to a certain length.
There isn't much rigidity to the sides or top of the bag, so it does sit a little flat when empty. This causes you to use one hand to hold the bag up while you load it with the other.
Perhaps adding some padded elements to the sides of the bag would increase rigidity and add an extra bit of protection?
Overall, I am very pleased with the bag and would definitely buy it again. My hope is that Duluth Pack will figure out a solution for the shoulder strap (and maybe send me one for testing!) :)
I'm already eyeballing my next bag and will buying again soon.
Cheers!
