Two full-length zippered compartments on each side of the bag are sized to fit short-barreled rifles, sub-guns, or a breaching shotgun. The main compartment of the Speed Bag is accessed by a full-length zipper and is configured to fit a complete set of body armor, equipped AGB and uniform. Over-sized nylon webbing handles can be used a hasty shoulder strap, a reinforced bottom panel, and a small organizer pocket on the outside are all standard. A square of loop pile lets you attach your FS Cell Tag to the outside making your Speed Bag quickly identifiable.

It has been moved to the non-stocking non-standard section on first-spear.com and available in Ranger Green and MultiCam only. They are offering it while supplies last, with FREE padded weapon inserts ($80 value). FirstSpear has a limited stock and when they are gone they are gone.
