5.11 Tactical Patrol Ready 40 Liter Bag, Police Security Car Front Seat Organizer, Style 59012

This bag is every bit as big as it looks. I was looking for something to hold federal regulation book for CVU inspections and everything fits very nicely. The bag can be zipped up and stowed away in the back of the vehicle when not in use. Much more professional looking than cardboard boxes of books everywhere.

This bag comes with me every day on patrol, and carries everything I need including traffic vests, miscellaneous tools, spare cuffs, spare mags, law books, and snacks. I am one to carry everything AND the kitchen sink with me on patrol, and it has proven helpful. I have this bag packed with stuff and it has held up well, despite being heavy, and keeps it all organized. The straps are well made and the seams are strong. I have seen many other brands of duty bag and the 5.11 offering is the only one that really lasts. I like the Velcro patch on the lid, and I stuck a reflective tactical patch on it. It looks sharp and distinguishes my bag from those of other officers during roll call.

I officiate High School track meet and have accumulated quite a bid of gear; tape measures, starter pistols, clip boards, stop watches etc. This bag holds it all along with water bottles and I can strap an umbrella to the top for foul weather. Its reasonably water resistant and seems sturdy enough to make it through a few years of hard use. I carry about 25 pounds of equipment. I like this bag, I had a back pack which held most of this stuff and if I put it on the ground it would fall over and always gave me trouble finding things. This bag sits up nice and opens wide to view everything. The only thing I would change is the top, it has two zip compartments and a Velcro flap which hold paper and pens. The problem I have is when the top is open it flips over and the compartments are upside down. it would be great if they were the other way around or there were straps to hold the top vertical. Other than that its a great bag.

As a LEO, this bag is about as essential to me as any other gear I carry on my person. It holds all of the following gear (and more): two file folders for paperwork/forms/ticket books that I use daily, drug testing kit, digital scale, digital camera, clipboards, in-car printer paper, hand sanitizer wipes/bottles, pens, cuff keys, cuffs, tourniquets, extra pocket notebooks, traffic vest, winter gloves/hat, extra cell phone chargers/cables, one of my back-up guns/ extra mags... I have never used the shoulder strap- I just lug it by the handles every shift, and its been great. The velcro has held its grip on pockets that I frequent, and I havent seen a single snag in the canvas exterior from daily use. Sure, its bulky, but I love having everything while on patrol that I need right next to me and right where its supposed to be. Bottom line: itll hold just about everything except a long gun. I couldnt effectively serve my city without this bag holding 99% of my gear/paperwork/etc. Its worth it.

Only reason for four stars is because I’m nitpicking minor things like the Velcro that wraps around the two handles that come together doesn’t hold the two straps together as much as I’d like and the Velcro divider is kinda flimsy but honestly it’s still really really good. 5 stars overall

I love my bag it is a perfect fit. It may look small in the picture but it is not. I love that I could remove the inner divider to make it just one big bag. I also like the shoulder strap that way I am able to walk from and to my car with hands free. I can fit my lunch bag and vest among other personal things that I use at work. I love the designated area on top to strap on my long mirror. The timeing was perfect as well, very fast delivery. I could not be more pleased. This is my first bag of its kind and I love it!

Great duty bag! it is made out off great martial. It has room for water bottles on the outside of the bag, with two good sized pocket on each side on the bag. It also has a pocket on the front side. Good room inside the bag I can fit my clipboard with a bunch of paperwork and maps, traffic vest, duty belt, and a full change of clothes. On the top of the lid that is inside the bag you have a place to hook your keys, two large pockets for something like sun glass, smaller pocket for extra notepads, and a place for pens. On the top of the lid there is a strip of Velcro to put on patches. All in all a great duty bag been using it every day with no issues.

So far so good the bag is wonderful. In regards to the review I read with the dividers you can always take the divider out or leave them in the bag and fold it having them flush against the rear which is what I had to do just to a fit large objects inside. the bag as many pockets and I often forget where I placed an item hardest part Im having now is finding something to help identify my bad for everyone elses utilizing the velcro on top

With the price it is at, and the durability, and the practical use, everyone should buy this bag.

Works very well for me. I am now to fit all I need in the compartments and pockets. Well made and durable.
