One cool thing about being a writer is discovering new brands and tactical gear for the first time. While searching for different brands to review I stumbled across First Tactical and their Crosshatch sling pack. I am a huge fan of sling packs, so of course I had to take a deeper dive.
Over the years I have collected enough backpacks and bags to make a school supply drive organizer jealous, so I don’t really NEED another bag. But I need another bag.
So, like anyone else, I started looking up reviews on their Cross Hatch before ordering one, and wow, I couldn’t find one negative review form anyone that owns it.
From what I can tell, outside of just being a great looking bag. The Crosshatch is a versatile pack made out of durable 1000D water resistant nylon. The sling pack with adjustable and removable compression straps. And of course, it has a rear CCW pocket, for your favorite carry pistol.
These packs are available in our three favorite tacticool colors; black, coyote tan and OD green. And, with a price point of just $89, my trigger finger has already added one to my online cart.
