Mongo Versipack (Black)

I buy a new one for every friend having a baby. Best mens diaper bag ever. My son is 6 now and I still use my bag daily.

Great for getting out and about and still having everything you need when you go out.

I purchased this when I upgraded from a 7inch tablet to the Microsoft Surface Pro and needed a larger bag to carry it. The Surface, in its carrying case, fits into the Mongo quite easily while not being excessively loose, and still leave quite a bit of room width wise for other items. The lack of a 5th star is due to one of the pockets being extremely hard to access until I spent almost a month with it packed full of paper towels to form it.

Great bag. I use it as a work and travel bag. It accommodates my laptop and all of the things I need on a daily basis. I did add a grab handle on top. As other reviewers said, it needs one and that has helped to make it much more useful.

Great bag. Holds lots of gear. Its the normal progression from the Maxpedition Jumbo. Be aware, this bag will get heavy quick. Not a briefcase, not a backpack, not a fanny pack. I had it for a few weeks and Im having fun redistributing my EDC within the nice variety of pockets it has. I recommend it.

This is a great bag for all your edc needs. All sorts of compartments and pockets to store all that you may need in a day. The back Pocket has been great for storing my firearm when its not convenient to wear in the supertuck. In the top pocket the little sleeves are great for holding the bit sets for my leatherman. The phone pocket holds the phone nice and snug even without the buckle snapped in. The water bottle slot holds my 1000ml camel back nicely. The one grip I can think of is the lack of a grab handle. That aside I couldnt be happier with the Mongo

I purchased this bag based on many 5 star reviews. Maxpedition has come up with a great design, but their Quality Assurance process needs to be improved. The stitched on pocket on the flap of the bag looks like it was stitched on by someone learning to sew. The folks at Maxpedition simply call it just a cosmetic issue, but when people look at this bag, the first thing you notice is the questionable stitching located right above the Maxpetition logo, it speaks for its self. When you spend good money for a nice product, you expect a good product, not a product with questionable parts. Note to self, in future if there is something that I want from Maxpedition, find a store somewhere that carries it, inspect it, and if it looks good, then Buy it.

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 have a few of these so called tactical bags. This for me is by far the best engineered bag. The amount of pockets and little nooks for stuff is just amazing. Originally used it as my EDC bag and even fit in my 13 inch laptop (yup, it fits....sort of, but you need to add in your own padding) for my daily trip to the office. Have since re-prioritised the bag for use as a Get Home bag that I keep in my car. Holds pretty much everything I need to get home should I ever get stuck away from home.

Its nice if you ordered this product and like its features construction and utility. However there are so many different bags of this nature, a true review has to compare it to other tactical shoulder/sling bags in the sane category. The review has to be fairly recent as these bags usually get a yearly upgrade. I have their jumbo verapack as well as a few others. Heres the deal. This bag is going from my house to the car every day. Once in the car it remains there unless I need to tote it around town. Maxpedition is the company that sets the design standards for this and many other tactical bags. In a close second spot is Vanquest who is about to overtake the big Max. if they dont watch out. I own Vanquest as well. The Mongo is made of a ballistic nylon type treated high grade fabric whic tends to be stiff and thus holds its shape and shrugs off dirt and water easily. It has ample storage pockets but left out an administrative pocket. This is a glaring omission but I think the intent was to use this as a type of gun range bag or day hiking bag. Thats fine because I have their admin pouches as well as vanquests. But it gets half a star docking. I love the water bottle case. Can easily hold a 32 once bottle. The interior main space is large and roomy. The CCW placket is adequate for most auto handguns or can be additional storage for tablets or small computers.The other half star is because of the zippers which are quality but have the tendency to get hung up at times. likely due to the stiff material. Not a zipper flaw. Vanquest similar product uses a high quality codura and the zippers are better right out of the box. Thier material is softer and less stiff. That said Ill use the mongo as my edc bag until Vanquest gets their water pouches a little bigger. I find this size to be better suited for my needs. Ill sometimes put extra 32 oz water in main compartment and use a sea to summit 3 L dry river bag to put food and a blue ice pack. I usually bring a second bag for food and water but its nice to have the extra space for those times I only want one bag. This is a great bag, a trendsetter for the industry and should last more than a decade. Mine has the grab handles which are not shown in the picture. Look for shot show 2016 this month January 19-21. Vanquest and Maxpedetion should be duking it out. We the consumers will be the beneficiaries of this competition.
