Recently I had the chance to review the Sneaky Bag SB02 Active Shooter Bag. The bag seems to be the perfect size as it is large enough to carry all of the essential gear needed (extra ammo, food, water, spare batteries, door wedges, small electronics, etc), though it is not too large to become cumbersome. The bag is well put together and appears to take abuse well. Many Active Shooter bags on the market today have some sort of MOLLE attachment on the outside of the bag that make the bag look tactical. This bag can be descreetly carried and almost be confused for a laptop bag or shoulder bag if you are looking for a functional bag that doesn't "scream" tactical. Note: If you are looking for the descreet look, the multi-cam pattern may not be your first choice. I chose the multi-cam pattern because I intend not only to use the bag for Active Shooter situations, but also for a go-bag for long-term perimeriter positions. With the addition of a jacket inside the bag, it will make a nice rest for my long-gun. In Active Shooter situations nobody will care what color your bag is, as long as you are there to complete the mission and you are properly equipped. A nice addition that I would like to see for future bags would be a descreet "rip-away" panel on the front flap that could be removed to show markings such as "POLICE", "DEPUTY", "AGENT", etc.
The side pockets are large enough to place two 16.9 oz bottles of water inside.
The SB02 bag has two removable waist/leg straps to assit you in stabalizing the bag if needed. The option of completely removing the straps is well appreciated since some may find that the straps will become a hinderance and/or feel that they will add something to get caught up on.
The rear of the bag (body side) has a flat document pouch and a grab handle. The grab handle can be folded into the document pocket and secured with the "hook and pile tape" (aka Velcro), which prevents the handle from becoming a catch hazard.
The front buckle is approximately 2" in width, which assists the user in opening the bag under stressful situations by using gross motor skills instead of fine motor skills. The buckle is hefty and should hold up well to rigorous use.
The above is a close-up image of the hefty parts used and the sound craftsmanship used to build this bag.
The 2" webbing shoulder strap has a removable shoulder pad. The padding is thick enough and the strap is wide enough that even with a heavy load in the bag, the strap does not cause undue discomfort or fatigue.
Underneath the front flap, on the front of the bag is a built-in dump pouch. The pouch is large enough that dropping a partially spent magazine during a tactical reload is quick and easy.
