Mission First Tactical Cypher 3.0 L Sling Bag

Mission First Tactical just unveiled its newest EDC bag: the Mission First Tactical Cypher 3.0 L EDC Waist/Sling Bag. This handy pack looks like a regular fanny pack. However, the Cypher is designed to accommodate a holstered pistol via its dedicated firearm-storage pocket. Aside from accommodating defensive firearms, the Mission First Tactical Cypher EDC pack also offers the wearer several options with which to organize their personal items.

The dedicated firearm-storage pocket is easy and quick to access in case the pistol is needed. To help mount and secure a holstered firearm, Mission First Tactical includes its MFT Multi-Mount Platform (that is also compatible with other 1.5-inch-wide belt accessories). As its name suggests, the Cypher can be worn on the waist like a fanny pack or slung across the body. 

“We wanted to develop a versatile bag that’s a perfect everyday companion,” said David Edelman from Mission First Tactical, “This new waist/sling bag offers an organizational daily essentials storage solution with safe and quick firearm storage and access, while on-the-go.”

Mission First Tactical Cypher 3.0 L EDC Waist / Sling Bag Features:

  • Dedicated and discreet firearm pocket
  • MFT Multi-Mount Platform included
  • Smart storage for vast array of EDC organizational options
  • Lighter colored WR (water resistant) ripstop liner to aid in interior visibility
  • Hi-vis key clip
  • Weather and abrasion-resistant construction
  • Adjustable shoulder/waist strap
  • Internal zippered storage pockets
  • Front cable storage
  • 3-Liter capacity

Multi-Mount Platform:

The Multi-Mount is a simple yet flexible platform that allows you to conveniently mount your everyday items wherever you may need them. The unit consists of a rugged 1.5-inch belt tab that locks into the mount and allows the attachment of any item that uses a clip or belt loop.

Mission First Tactical is offering its new Cypher EDC Waist/Sling back at an MSRP of $59.99. To learn more about this new bag or the other shooting related gear and accessories Mission First Tactical offers, visit missionfirstactical.com.
