Mongo Versipack (Black)

I love this bag. So much so, Ive purchased a second. One exclusively for work, and the other used as an EDC lite-bug out. The material is great, tough and sturdy. Enough pockets for whatever it is you want to tote (i.e. conceal) wink-wink. Its also very versatile and NON cumbersome, meaning its not clumsy or awkward in appearance or to carry. Like many other packs, satchels or slings, they are either too small, thin material, uncomfortable, not enough pockets or they are inconveniently placed. Not this bag.

This is a great bag. Well built, durable and fits my 62 250lb frame well. Concealed pocket is tight but still holds my Sig P226 .40.

All I can say is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag. I almost bought one of the smaller Versipacks, but Im glad I got this one. One of my major concerns was that I hadnt actually held this in my hands, I was buying off the internet. I didnt actually know how big it would be and what I could fit inside.

OK so realistically I needed something bigger because my everyday usually consist of school but I got a backpack for that. These really arent meant to hold books and binders. I now use it to bring to my friends and transport stuff on my bike and have added many extra MOLLE and Velcro attachments to expand my usage. The bag as gotten a little wide due to this and I wish the water bottle holder was on the other side. The design is great otherwise with pockets and organization. The best part is weight distribution that help on my bike but it will take some consideration on your part to find the best place for your stuff.

I researched for months, hunting down the ultimate, most durable, most organizable, purse-size EDC bag. It has everything I wanted--and is durable, organizable, and purse-size. But lets face it: this bag isnt attractive. It isnt fashionable. It isnt even capable of being made more attractive. No amount of puff paint or glitter is going to turn this beast into a beauty contestant. The strap is difficult to adjust, making it hard to carry over a shoulder, and it makes my back hurt when worn cross-body. And its HEAVY. Filled with my normal girly purse-type stuff, it clocked in at almost fifteen pounds without a water bottle. Plus, I noticed that Id get some weird looks when I was carrying it in stores, even with the Im so not a scary person patches (medic, WFR, girl pirate, St. Michael). I so wanted to love this bag, but it just didnt happen. I still have it, and Im hoping we can turn it into a diaper bag in the future, but it doesnt work for EDC. Instead, I turned to the Timbuk2 Eula, which gives up a bit in the organization department, but I dont get stares or feel like Im the least fashionable woman on the planet (but lets face it, I am). The Eula is also waterproof, much lighter, easier to adjust for multiple ways of carrying, and it is half the cost of the Mongo.

I bought a smaller jumbo versipack 1st and really like it but needed more room. Enter the mongo. Same fantastic quality as the jumbo but lots more room. Ive loaded it out 2different ways. 1St I packed in my regular EDC stuff from my jumbo and then started to carry as my EDC. That only lasted 3 days like that. That sucker is heavy. In a emergency get home situation I can carry it but for every day carry its a pain. Its current role is a truck get home bag. It holds my regular EDC stuff and the extras for emergencies. I have the smaller jumbo on me all the time and it carries me over to the big bag. This mongo could make a Great Tactical diaper bag. Update: Ive had the mongo for over a year now. This bag is still awesome! No rips or weak spots..still looks like new.

Great quality and excellent carry on, lots of pockets and a great strap to secure your water bottle.

This bag is made from first rate material, and the keeping him is very comfortable.

Ok, first of all its a shame that such a great product wasnt made in the U.S. This bag, is really on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for, everything is just sturdy, even when I need to sprint across the airport I just fasten the hip strap to my waist and I can just be carefree. Say you need to go through rain? no problem, the water just slides against the fabric. Doesnt even smell bad in damp conditions. This is a heavy bag though, I usually pack my netbook in it, a full sized knife, a flashlight, wifi device, tactical pen. First aid kit. and sometimes a gun. I know its overkill, but sometimes those long camping trips just need one bag where you can say this is emergency bag

I love this brand but tried to save a buck by purchasing the fakes on here. The quality was not even worth the reduced cost. The counterfeit is now my dog bag and I purchased a genuine Maxpedition for my stuff. Well worth the higher price.
