Actually, I don't know the answer. I am a fatboy, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think it's just because it can carry a lot of stuff for a pack of its size.

There's more information about it HERE.

I can see carrying something like the Verispack/Safepacker with a shoulder strap while doing activites such as moutain climbing, biking, ATV riding, etc., or on a vacation where you might have a camera and other junk and need a bag to carry it all, but as DAILY carry I think there are better options.

I use my Versipack with the shoulder strap with some degree of frequency. I did it just today. It works out fairly well, but it is not my daily means of carry. I use regular IWB and OWB holsters for that. But the Versipack is good for trips to the gym, or if you need to run a quick errand and haven't put a holster on yet.... stuff like that.

I also own a Safepacker, but I don't use it that much, as it is really not good for carrying much else except a gun. The Versipack is more versatile. Also, I don't yet own a shoulder strap for the Safepacker, so it means that I have to carry in my off-side hand all the time.

I bought one of those, and it does work pretty well; but along those lines, I much prefer my Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack. It actually carries more, the gun is just as accessible, and it carries on a shoulder strap much more comfortably. Yes, you can get a shoulder strap for the Safepacker, but it isn't the same.

That said, the Safepacker works great inside a vehicle for making your gun easily accessible while still concealing it well.

Compare this (Safepacker) at $79.95:


to this (Versipack) at $69.99 — $10.00 less:


I can testify that both are well made and use quality materials, but about twice as much goes into the making of the (cheaper) Fatboy Versipack.
