Greenroom136 Quickdraw Review (EPX400 Ranger Green) | Best Modular EDC Sling?

The Greenroom136 Quickdraw is a compact sling built to live up to its name: a bag you can open fast and pull gear from without fuss. After a few days of daily carry to and from downtown, here's a detailed look at how this Ranger Green EPX400 version performs and who it suits best.

Overview

The Quickdraw is one of Greenroom136's flagship slings, sitting alongside models like the Metro Runner, Metro Monger, and Sling Shifter in the brand's lineup. This particular unit is finished in EPX400 Eco Pack fabric in Ranger Green, though Greenroom offers the sling in several other materials, including Cordura, X-Pac, and Multicam Black.

The stated capacity is roughly 12 liters. This review unit was provided by Greenroom136 as a free sample, but the opinions here are independent.

Build and Materials

The construction reflects the handcrafted, made-in-Malaysia quality the brand is known for.

• Fabric: EPX400 Eco Pack with a DWR coating that helps repel water. It is not fully waterproof, and the coating wears over time, but it can be re-applied with an aftermarket spray.
• Zippers: YKK zippers throughout (believed to be size #8).
• Detailing: Double-stitched key leash, clean piping, and a carry handle positioned squarely in the middle of the top panel.
• Hardware: A removable strap system connected via a D-ring stitched deep into the pack.

The stitching, fabric, and overall finish hold up well to close inspection, and the padded carry handle feels sturdy in hand.

Customization Options

One of the Quickdraw's standout features is Greenroom's BYC (Build Your Colorway) program. Through it, you can customize:

• Fabric and external color
• Zipper pull colors
• The back harness and strap configuration
• Additional tactical webbing and handles
• Left and right pockets, and in some cases external carry options at the base

These programs sell out quickly, often within about a week of launch, so getting on the brand's newsletter is worth doing if customization matters to you. Greenroom also runs a separate Wildcard program for deeper customization on backpacks and messenger bags, though the Quickdraw is not part of it.

Exterior and Attachment Options

This version is the tactical configuration, featuring a half-split Velcro tactical webbing on the front. Greenroom also offers a "vanilla" version with no front attachment and a full-Velcro version for morale patches.

The tactical webbing accepts anything MOLLE-compatible, giving more flexibility than the patch-only full-Velcro option. Both sides of the sling include tactical webbing loops, useful for attaching a flashlight. There is no external carry option at the bottom on this model.

Organization

The Quickdraw uses a three-compartment layout: front, main, and back.

Front Pocket

The front pocket is a top loader rather than a clamshell opening. Inside there's a surprising amount of room, enough to swallow a Nintendo Switch, along with:

• A dump pocket
• Two pen slots (also usable for multi-tools)
• A stash pocket
• A hook and key leash (a triangular hook here, which the reviewer prefers over a D-ring)

Beyond these, the pocket is largely open, so it holds bulkier items well.

Main Compartment

The main compartment is where the "quick draw" concept comes to life. The zipper wraps around so the bag opens up and presents its contents at a glance, with gussets that keep gear from spilling out the sides while still allowing a wide opening.

Inside you'll find:

• Two stash pockets split down the middle
• One wide tech pocket
• A pen slot stitched into the logo piping

The tech pocket is spacious enough for a Nintendo Switch (even with grip handles attached) or an iPad Mini, but padding is only on one side rather than full 360-degree protection. The bottom of the compartment has no floating pad, relying on the lining, fabric, and piping for structure.

Back Pocket

The back panel houses a concealed pocket suited to travel documents like a passport or wallet. It opens from the top and has lining on one side with fabric on the other. A subtle, dark zipper pull helps keep the pocket discreet.

Capacity in Use

Loaded up, the Quickdraw handled a substantial EDC kit:

• Front: A flat tech pouch with AI prototyping tools, a travel charger, a pen, a phone, and AirPods clipped into the triangle hook.
• Main: An iPad Mini in a case, a meds pouch, a power bank, batteries, coffee tablets, and a microfiber cloth.
• Back: Wallet and passport in the concealed pocket.

Even fully packed there was room left for a light jacket, and a selfie stick fit diagonally. It also accommodated a Kinto water bottle. The pack retains a clean structure when loaded.

Comfort and Straps

The strap system is the most divisive element. It's a one-inch webbing with a padded, comfortable shoulder pad.

The big positive: the strap attaches via a stitched-in D-ring and is fully removable. That means you can swap in your own straps (the reviewer plans to fit a two-inch Chrome Industries strap) or detach it entirely to use the bag as a standalone organizer in a car or truck.

The downside is the one-inch webbing itself, which some carriers will find narrow. A wider two-inch webbing with a proper buckle would be a welcome upgrade.

Points to Improve

A few areas stood out as opportunities for refinement:

• Concealed pocket lining: It would benefit from full 360-degree lining and RFID protection given its role as a document pocket.
• Tech pocket: A return to Cordura lining with U-shaped 360-degree padding and a Velcro closure would improve device protection.
• Main compartment organization: The two stash pockets are functional and keep visibility high, but raising them slightly and adding stacked pockets (as seen in the brand's Rainmaker) would open up the bottom for flatter items.

Who It's For

The Quickdraw is a strong pick if you want a compact, well-built EDC sling with fast access and genuine modularity. The removable strap and BYC customization options give it flexibility that many fixed-strap slings lack, and the 12-liter capacity punches above its size for daily tech and travel carry.

If you need more space, the larger Metro Runner is worth considering within the same lineup. But for those who value quick access, quality construction, and the ability to tailor and swap components, the Quickdraw delivers. It's shipped from Malaysia via DHL, with free shipping to the US above a stated order threshold (around $200).
