They are a company out of Colorado I believe.

I have had the
Snubby for over a year and use it quite often. I also bought one for my wife and a runner's kit bag for a friend as a b'day gift. My wife loves hers and last I heard, my buddy uses the hell out of his and has not had any issues. Scott and Evan Hill (owners of Hill People) are good dudes and stand by their products. On my first order, I ran into an issue with the shipment and notified their support team. About 10 min later I had an email from Scott saying that they were sending me a second bag, no questions asked. Most of everything they make, if not all of it, is made by Americans with American materials. Pretty cool if you ask me and it's still pretty cool if you didn't ask me.
I run a minimum of 3-5 miles 3-4x a week. I ruck quite a bit, too and I go off-roading (ATV) quite often I like having the pack for a couple reasons. One, I run/ruck with my dutch shepherd and have her lead, wastes bags, etc tucked into one of the pockets. I also go armed and carry my .40 and mags, plus I have a small headlamp, some cash and ID cards, etc. If I'm just going for a walk, I only wear the Snubby. If I'm going running then I add the stabilizer strap. With the
stabilizer strap, I have ZERO stability issues. I can carry quite a bit and there's nothing bouncing around.
Is there a particular bag you're looking at buying? Or were you just asking about them in general?
