Frequently Asked Questions About Man-PACK®

Absolutely! Many diabetics have noted that the Man-PACK® made it much easier for them to transport their insulin and syringes. Don’t forget to add an ice pack to keep your insulin cold!

The Man-PACK® is also much more convenient than a traditional diaper bag. Your hands are already full with your little one so just sling on the Man-PACK® and you have an extra hand to manage everything else.

Check out the Man-PACK® Story for details on how the Man-PACK® came about.

We have developed a one-stop guide to help you decide which bag is right for you! It can be found right here.

Man-PACK® is a stylish and ergonomically designed sling-style vertical Every Day Carry (EDC) bag for men. It’s used for a multitude of purposes including electronics, concealed carry firearms, hunting, hiking, fishing, commuting, travel, even medical supplies.

The bag was originally designed for conceal carry so it is designed to have that conceal carry pocket facing your dominant hand when you rotate the bag to your front. It also indicates which shoulder the strap sits on.

For example, the right hand draw places the strap on the right shoulder and positions the conceal carry pocket to your right hand when you swivel the bag to the front (while the main compartment faces your left hand). Whereas the left-hand draw puts the strap on your left shoulder and faces the conceal carry pocket to your left when it’s rotated to the front (the main compartment is facing your right hand).

Aaron Tweedie is the man behind the bag! If you’re interested in finding out how he came to the idea of the Man-PACK^®, check out the Man-PACK^® Story page for the details.

We do not refund original shipping charges for buyers who refuse items due to not wanting to pay the customs charges applied by their country.

All international orders are marked “Merchandise” and will not be marked as “Gift” as this is illegal.
