REVIEW: Helikon-Tex Double Upper Rifle Bag 18

The weapon has to be brought to the shooting range somehow. Of course, this is regulated and should not be done openly, as common sense dictates. Helikon-Tex offers an elegant and very practical solution for this, the Double Upper Rifle Bag 18.

On the outside of the rifle bag, there are three 25 x 25 cm large zippered pockets. The middle one is 7 cm deep and the other two are 4 cm deep each. Inside, they are lined with Velour, allowing you to attach organizational inlays. The left pocket in the image has several compartments and all of them offer zippered mesh pockets in the lid. The five-magazine inlay and the double pistol inlay are included.

The main compartment is very well padded to ensure that everything inside is well protected. The interior dimensions are approximately 100 x 35 x 5 cm. You can also see things like PALS loops inside.

The 35mm wide strap features the fixing straps looped through it.

To prevent anything from slipping, you'll find hook-and-loop under the strap.

The fixing straps come with the corresponding loop side. A very well thought out and stable solution, in our opinion.

As the name suggests, the Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 is designed for an AR15 with sights and a spare upper. It can also accommodate two "bare" AKs for purists. A rifle and a tripod also fit comfortably inside.

In addition to a classic carrying handle, the Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 also features two handles on the underside. These are great for pulling the bag out of the trunk.

The rifle bag also comes with shoulder straps for easy carrying. These can be easily stored when not in use.

The shoulder straps are closed with buckle closures. Nothing new, but always practical.

The Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 on the back. There are more comfortable backpacks, but definitely better than carrying the heavy weapon case in hand.

The load hangs on a D-ring, as with some backpack models. In the picture you can also see the well the YKK zippers, which are lockable. This means you can transport it in compliance with weapons regulations, a good improvement by HELIKON-TEX compared to early models of this bag.

With the Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 on your shoulder, we are ready for the way to the range. Chameleon march. Always a win: hands free.

CONCLUSION: The Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 is a practical and well-constructed weapon case. It is also suitable for safely transporting tripods and photo equipment. Well-structured, stylish, efficient.

You can find the Helikon-Tex Double Upper Rifle Bag 18 at all retailers - for example CAMOSTORE or TacOpsGear - that carry Helikon-Tex. The bag is available in many colors and patterns and costs starting from 124.00 euros.
