Excellent pack

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016

Color: IceVerified Purchase

I LOVE THIS PACK! I also have a black military style pack because I love the customizable organization, but I find it draws too much attention that I don't want. I am not military or law enforcement, so some of the design elements for those target customers don't apply to me, I just use this for everyday carry to and from work (I don't have a car, so everything I might need has to go in this pack). This is easily the most comfortable pack I've ever carried, even when it's jam packed! The straps and back are super comfortable! For me, the roll-down pocket is pretty useless. I keep another organization pouch inside there, along with a battery pack to recharge my cell phone. It's definitely roomy. The concealment pocket is great and is accessible from either side. I carry a Glock 27 in a Maxpedition velcro holster and there is tons of extra space. I've ended up using the felt pocket on top as my general, quick-access pocket for my most-used items, including sunglasses. It has quite a lot of room. The main compartment is big and both zippers go all the way down for full access. Plenty of pockets for organization, which I love! Definitely watch 5.11's product video to get a complete idea of all the pockets and everything. A couple of extra notes, though: the admin pocket looks really small but it's quite deep so it holds more than you'd expect. The mesh water bottle pockets are great. I had a 32 oz HydroFlask in one for a while but I think somehow the size allowed the mesh to snag so there are a couple of small holes now. I switched to a 24 oz and that seems to be working better with no more holes. The top carry handle is neoprene, which is super comfortable to hold. Overall, an excellent pack, as you'd expect from 5.11. Great quality materials and construction. Well-designed organization. Ultra comfortable for all-day wear. Holds a ton of stuff! Totally recommend it!

Gotta say this is a awesome bag.

I have tons of 5.11 stuff. They make quality packs and bags. Got this to have as my carry on for a long international trip. Worked perfectly. Easy for air port security. Fits a ton of stuff including my large hydroflask water bottle in the side pockets. The back pad is breathable and actually helps over standard packs. Even better then my old ILBE packs from the Corps. Straps are comfy as I often wore it for 10 to 12 hrs a day while on tours in Greek heat and humidity. Your back sweats but still a ton better then other bags. Also. The pad drys quickly and doesn't retain moisture from the previous day. Great for concealed carry also. Easily fits my Kimber 1911 and S&W MP40. My wife made fun of me for getting this but after she saw it and we used it every day on our trip she wants one now. My only grip is as with all 5.11 things. Cost. The other thing that bugs me is they claim it's made in America and the box our luggage came in clearly was drop shipped and said made in china. Perhaps things have changed at 5.11 and it used to be USA made but appears not all products are? Even though our rolling luggage said made in china it was still of quality. As one would expect anything with the 5.11 tag on it. It held up well and better then anything else I have had even with rough international flights and handling in 3rd world countries.

If you need to blend in and carry concealed off body this is the bag

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

I’m 42 years old and a CCW permit holder going back to college. State law permits me to have a firearm on campus. With that said I need a inconspicuous backpack for school that allows me to carry concealed off body. I’ve tried a few other backpacks but this one is incredible. It has all of the pockets for my school supplies, books, IFAK, water and shaker bottles and a Velcro lined pocket for my pistol. The 5.11 construction is always top notch and the design looks joe-schmo but wears Bourne Identity. It is comfortable even with a ton of books as the U shape harness/ straps place the load well on your back. The admin pocket it great for all my little supplies and the zippers all function smooth for easy access to everything. The pocket placement is typical of any backpack and it doesn’t take long to get used to. With hat said, the pistol pocket placement is great for concealment, easy access, and it isn’t one of the first place someone might look for something to steal should the back be accidently unattended. (I’ve never left my firearm unattended and don’t plan to but it’s comforting that someone would have to really look for it to find it.) Even my kids thought it was an everyday backpack and not a 5.11/ tactical product. The ONLY improvement I might think of making in a V2 would be to put subtle grey piping and accents on the all black bag. I know it comes in a variety of color combos but I noticed most students have a black backpack with some subtle piping/ accents on it so I wanted to blend in as much as possible. The green and tan bags still look a little tactical / ranger rick according to my kids. My kids represent the types of minds I’m trying to fool with this bag so their feedback counts. .

Very large storage, with quick access pockets.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019

Color: IceVerified Purchase

Loved the size of this bag, it can certainly hold its own. I fitted an entire weeks worth of survival gear inside for two people. The only issue that I had with the bag was, when you really load it up, you can tell. It doesn’t distribute the weight across your body. Granted its not designed to do this so its no fault of its own. If you’re looking for a low key survival bug out bag to blend in with the city, this is it. It has pockets for quick access to weapons or gear. I ended up de-loading it some to help with the weight distribution and got a different pack for this. This will definitely get me back home from work after an earthquake and still remain low key enough to not be bothered by others!

Expensive but you get what you pay for. Quality product.

Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2020

This bag is not as tough as the Rush 24 or the Moab 10 material wise on the bottom, but a solid bag none the less. If you are thinking of a wilderness bug out bag, this could work, but the Rush 24 or 72 would be a better choice. As a urban bug out or get home bag this would work well. It doesn’t scream tactical and should be more than solid enough for that.

Troy...

This is my first good quality back pack. It’s great! So many different pockets and compartments. The zippers are durable. My only complaint is that the chest strap fell off my first day using it. I’m not sure what happened because the back pack is so solid... I use it everyday. It’s fantastic.

Quality Rucksack

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2019

Color: IceVerified Purchase

I have been in the military 37 years and this is the best rucksack I have purchased. Bought for day to day usage it has many pockets and will provide protection for iPad Pro. Absolute quality all round and very much worth the extra investment. BTME answered my query on delivery within minutes and it arrived next day. Absolutely delighted with product and service.
