REVIEW: DIRECT ACTION Deployment Bag - Small

We all know the problem of what to do with all the stuff. Whether in the military or on a weekend trip to the shooting range, there's always a lot of equipment that needs to be transported and stored well. The "Deployment Bag - Small" from DIRECT ACTION helps you transport your gear from A to B more efficiently. We've put it to the test.

Externally inconspicuous, the Deployment Bag - Small offers a generous 42 liters of storage space with a weight of only 530 g. It is made of lightweight 500D Cordura, which you can feel. When empty, it feels as light as a feather. It measures approximately 55 x 27 x 28 cm.

The webbing of the carrying handles and shoulder strap runs all around. This allows you to load the bag very heavily without worrying that something won't hold.

At each end, there is an ID area where you can attach patches measuring 10x7 cm, …

Or you can slide a business card under the clear window. A nice and practical feature.

On the sides, there is a 12 x 9 cm Velcro area.

Above it, there is a zipper that gives you access to a narrow compartment.

It has a sturdy two-way zipper with Paracord zipper pulls, giving you access to the main compartment.

There's plenty of room in here. A helmet fits easily, but what else?

We managed to fit all of this without any problems and with extra space in the Deployment Bag - Small. So helmet, plate carrier, mini chest rig, and the shooting belt with IFAK. The camo is called Pencott GreenZone, in case anyone is interested.

Inside the Deployment Bag - Small, you will also find two zippered mesh pockets for small items on the sides.

To avoid any misunderstandings about who the Deployment Bag - Small belongs to, there is also a label inside that the owner can and should label.
