Michael303 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I'm looking for a range backpack and the DAA medium backpack and newish Safariland backpack are at the top of the list at this point. The DAA is about $170 shipped at the moment and it seems to have decent feedback. The Safariland is almost $200 and what little feedback I can find seems to be good but I'm not sure if it brings much to the table that makes it worth $30 more than the DAA. Any feedback would be appreciated, especially if you've seen both in person. I searched the boards for info on the Safariland but not a lot came up. Thanks. Edited November 21, 2020 by Michael303 Had the wrong price for the DAA bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have had both of them. They each have their good and bad points. I think the materials in the safariland are better (particularly the zippers) I like certain points of the safariland design better as well (the pouch in the back is well sized to take my open gun for instance) .. What I like better about the DAA bag is that it holds its shape and structure better (due to stiffer inserts I guess) and is a little easier to work out of during the match to me. They are both quality products but based on a little more than a season on the safariland bag (my previous 2 bags were DAA) I think it will last longer.

How does the size compare between the two and how are the included accessories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris914 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Safariland is doing a Black Friday sale right now. I was able to get the Range Backpack and a new ELS belt for $144 shipped. I currently have the DAA and bought the Safariland for the fiancé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one on order somewhere else for about $175 shipped but got that canceled and got it from Safariland direct for about $112 shipped. Do you know how long the promo is good for. Thinking about getting some other stuff I don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJM7288 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I’ve been thinking about switching to a backpack style bag, ordered the Safariland. It is a good bargain at $108 delivered. Edited November 29, 2020 by JJM7288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
