Mongo Versipack (Black)

I bought this almost a year ago today, July 28, 2018 to be exact. Do I like the bag, YES! The one I have is very sturdy some reviews have stated stitching problems and even being too stiff. To each his own as they say.

Great bag. The description made it seem that putting a medium size laptop in it might be difficult but this is not the case.

Perfect EDC bag.

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

Use it for my everyday briefcase. Plenty of room for my files, iPad, water bottle, etc.. Lots of storage and rugged. I have received a lot of complements on it.

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.

I bought this a couple of weeks back. I have used it as an overnight bag, a light day pack whilst on a 3D Archery Range in the Australian Bush, and most recently on a 2 hour Bush walk in temps over 35c / 95f.

This is outstanding for edc/work bag. My 11in MacBook air fits perfectly. I would recommend a neoprene sleeve

Let me start out by saying that this is a really great bag, best bag that I have found so far in its size class. I would like to see maxpedition make a couple of mods to the bag that could make it even better; maybe they will take my advice, maybe they wont.

PROS: Outstanding construction / durability
