Mongo Versipack

I ended up getting the RAPDOM version of this bag way cheaper and not as stiff.

great

I am using my mongo as a flight bag and its perfect. Lots of space for charts, headset, flashlight, extra radio, batteries, iPad and GPS, etc. very pleased with this bag.

Cadillac of messenger packs sling packs

Tons of pockets, tons of customization, tons of uses. For commuting, hiking, day trips, and travel. One of the best bags I have ever owned and I have many. Heavy duty and can take a beating. Worth the investment for the above uses or any other.

too many useless pockets. the water bottle holder is an unusual size, too short and not wide enough. Some slight modifications could make this bag world class, but as is I returned it for a refund.

Everything about this is better than I hoped for. Heavy stitching. Solid seams. Big chunky buckles and zipper pulls. Smooth zippers. Main pocket is huge. Easily fit a 15 inch laptop and then some. Outer pockets are smaller and slimmer but have molle or elastic loops or dividers. Bottle holder is perfect diameter for a 1 liter nalgene bottle. The bottle retention strap is adjustable so you can put taller bottles in but the diameter is pretty fixed. Concealed carry pocket is nice but not very friendly towards full size autos. Especially if you have spare mags. The attachment method for the holsters and mag sleeves is velcro. Of course the maxpedition brand stuff fits in perfectly but if you dont want to spend the money for the brand name you can shop around for something. The bag has the loop part of hook and loop if that helps. I used to carry a red Rock generic backpack. This bag holds more, is more organized, and is smaller than the red Rock. I have it set up to fit a full size auto plus two mags, a decent trauma kit, and a days worth of food and drinks. If you dont want a monster bag I suggest stepping down to a maxpedition fatboy or jumbo sling bag. The quality is just as great with a more manageable size.

Perfect for my needs. I have a lot of maxpedition items and the quality is great.

Use it all the time. Wish it was big enough for a laptop but fits my tablet with keyboard no issue.

I carried a lunch box cooler to work like an Igloo or an Arctic Zone for years.They were bulky and the carry strap did not like to ride on my shoulder well.I found the Maxpedition Mongo Versipack to be comfortable and roomy enough to carry all my day to day needs. It is also a lot more stylish. You will never catch me carrying a cooler type lunch box ever again.
