Edc bag- Man purse/Sling?

Can you guys have tap with credit/debit cards?

I can with my credit card.
My mom cannot with her debit card.
So it depends on the card.

This is similar to what I’ve been using successfully for quite a few years now: https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Military-Utility-Outdoor-Climbing/dp/B09G6GYGZ4/, but its straps are non-removable.

Previously I carried one with removable straps, similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dotacty-Modular-Tactical-Accessory-Addition/dp/B0BQHGKQLY

My EDC waist-pack for 2 years now has been the Helikon-Tex Possum. Super durable, have stuffed it absolutely to the gills and no issues - except the zipper which I managed to f* up somehow. Good thing there’s two zippers so I just switched to zipping from the other side. Got my possum on clearance too, like half off, all the sweeter.

Last year I got a Chuyentactical CT5 as a birthday gift. Love it - quality is top, and it’s the perfect capacity for me. CT is a brand from Vietnam. Rumor goes that some of their staff previously worked in 5.11 factories and other brand name bagmaker factories in VN. Not sure if any of that is true, but the quality actually is on par with the top brands.

My go-to for a few years nonstop has been (not this exact one, but they’re probably all from the same factory in Choina somewhere)

Had to look as I wasn’t sure, but the main strap is removable with snap-clips. Plus a “handle” on top for carrying.

Pockets galore, good zippers, hauled it all over Hell’s Creation and it still looks new (well, after a spin in the washer), and it’s molled out the wazoo.

They had 'em for 10bux a pop on AX but can still be had for 15 or so if you look. Well well well worth it even at 20bux or more.

I bought an assload of 'em thinking they’d fray, split, otherwise be disposable, but I’m on the same one since I got it. Now, I use some “spares” for themed stuff, like car shiite (OBD reader, TPMS resetter, multimeter, etc.), excess flashlights that are in rotation, and so on.

Can’t go wrong with these puppies.

Is it comfortable/practical for cross-body wearing? How do you wear yours?

Usually just slung over a shoulder if I’m going from car to store and v/v, else cross-body like a backpack if walking somewhere farther (so it doesn’t slip off).

The thing’s like a freaking TARDIS in that I was amazed what I could stuff in there from the food-store before having to resort to carrying a separate bag.
