For any and all that are interested, Howes is, or has had a sale, on Maxpedition products. I just purchased the last black NeatFreak and black FR-1 Medical pouch. Savings were awesome and the products are selling fast.

Coincidentally I saw someone sporting a Fatboy yesterday for the first time and was very impressed.

Yeah I have a Fatboy and an EDC pouch, both are used and carried and still look good. I've only been carrying the EDC pouch for a little over a month now, but I take it everywhere.

A side not, I just checked the USPS tracking and my NeatFreak and FR-1 will be here on FRIDAY!!!! :D

I think I'm going to pick up a Fatboy.

I'm right handed but think I want the one for the left side, the S type. Anyone tried weak side carry with a Fatboy? If so what was your experience?

I'm not sure if I have the Fatboy S type or not, but I always carry it on my weakside. I have never had a problem with being able to access anything within. I consider the Fatboy to be a great EDC bag, IMHO.

I also received my NeatFreak and my FR-1 pouch today! Howe's kicks a$$ and I shall be a regular customer off theirs from now on. :D

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the Fatboy S yesterday and it shipped today. the color choice was khaki, od green, black and foliage green. I went with foliage green thinking it was the least conspicuous.

ps: Just checked and the foliage green Fatboy S is now sold out - guess I got the last one.

Congrats on your purchase and for getting the last one. I bought the last NeatFreak and I am glad I did. I'll be EDC'ing the bag on a regular basis to get a feel for it.

I'm not sure if you carry a handgun or not, but the Fatboy easily holds a Glock 17/22. I know there was a thread started where people debated the merits of carrying off body, but I like having options. When I have a G22 in there I can easily get to it and remove it with no problems at all.

Either way, I hope you enjoy your Fatboy.

i recently bought a pygmy falcon 2 backpack and it is a wonderful pack! this is my first modular pack and i'm having fun adding molle attachments to several different pouches, mostly for camera gear like lenses. and considering the materials and workmanship, the price is quite reasonable. denier 1000 is good stuff.

I did a bit of Youtube research on the Pygmy Falcon 2 and the NeatFreak. I went with the NeatFreak cause I just dig all them crazy pockets in such a compact size. The Pygmy Falcon 2 will probably be a purchase in the not too distant future. Well, actually that or the Condor 2, that bag looks like it could hold a lot of stuff.

I also purchased and received today, a hook and loop mini organizer, and two hook and loop 3 clip holster. Love em! Both add so much more possibilities to bags with already endless possibilities! Actually, I think it's just the EDC side of me speaking. :p
