When it comes to any industry one that has some exceptionally tough competition has to be the back pack industry, with so many competitors running around especially in the “tactical” pack area.  So when it comes to a good back you must focus on the needs you have.  Functionality over the coolness factor is a must, because if it looks cool but doesn't fit your needs or causes rubbing or pain issues while using it, then you wont want to use it. With all that being said this time we are taking a look at some packs from DDT. DDT is a small business veteran owned company who has been operation since 2012. The provide a variety of products from packs, plate carriers and gun bags. The first bad we will take a look at is the assassin sling bag, made from 1000D polyester with a polyurethane water resistant coating, lockable #10 zippers and a size of 17 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 9 inches deep. It is capable of carrying a 2 liter hydration bladder and has a stabilization strap and is all around a really great little pack, I have used this pack as a camera pack, laptop bag, tool bag and day trip around a national park pack. As long as you do not put too much weight into this pack and keep it pretty light you should have no real issues, the problems with this pack arrive if you put a good about of weight with it. This is while it can be annoying is not a problem with this pack but a problem with all sling pack and they will always have it as putting weight on to one strap causes pressure on one shoulder and will cause the pack to shift and rub against you.  Overall I would recommend this pack for mountain bikers, motorcyclists, and even as a pack for a laptop and a few tools if you are a tech worker. With a retail price of $54.99 on amazon I would say its great deal if you are looking for a good sling bag.

Next selection from DDT is the Anti Venom 24-hour assault pack. Much of this pack is similar to the assassin pack as far as construction, 1000D poly with PVC water-resistant lining, #10 lockable zippers, and capable of carrying a 2 liter hydration bladder. Things this pack has that are a nice addition are the Hook and Loop holster that a wide variety if sidearms.  Size is 17 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 10 inches deep when filled out.  This pack also has a waist belt and adjustable shoulder straps. This pack is great for a daily use, day hiking, and a range pack, however much past this I cannot recommend, many of the straps have no retaining stitching and will slide thru the buckles and cause some annoyance.  Also a recommendation that could have made the bag top notch would have been to use UTX quick-release buckles on the shoulder straps so that you could attach this pack to a chest rig.   With cheaper bags coming out using the quick release buckles on the shoulder straps so there is no real reason not to have them.  So in short if you are looking for a pack to put with an assaulter kit I would hard pass and say head over to London Bridge Trading, however if you are looking for a pack to throw in your car with some winter survival gear, or just a day pack then this might be right up your alley.
