Grab-it Pack is Awesome and Incredibly Geeky

posted by Chris on May 14, 2008 7:45 AM in Geek Culture

grabitpack.jpgYou may recall my Steampunk Nerf Gun post from a while back, where I painted a Nerf Maverick all metallic to go with a costume I was making. I got an email from the creator of the Grab-it Pack(™!) who saw the post and mentioned that multiple people have purchased this pocketed accessory as a holster for their Nerf Mavericks.

Extra pockets are always nice and the Grab-it Pack actually looks like an incredibly useful pack if you're going hiking, cosplaying as the Man-With-Too-Many-Pockets or raiding a tomb full of ancient treasure and secrets.

They are about 23 bucks and you can order them from GrabitPack.com.

[Thanks, Louis!]

So it's basically a fake gun holster. That's... kinda dumb.

God I love things like this. If it fit my sketchbook I would totally use one of these in place of my normal bag.

I'm kind of disgusted that I want this.

As long as it doesn't chafe, it would be great for hiking or going to a Con.

I'd be afraid to wear it in the city or on any public transportation. It looks too much like what the "Marta Marines" (Atlanta public transportation security that dress like a swat team) would wear and I'd get searched every time I even walked past a train station.

What say you?!
