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

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.

Admittedly, Im not the target market. Im not a first responder or a member of the military, so Im admittedly not using my patrol bag to go ON patrol. HOWEVER: I bought one of these in the middle of 2018, and it has been knocked about and treated with no great ceremony in that time. Ive taken bus trips with it, hauled it in and out of a semi truck every two weeks, overloaded it with crap to the point I was sure Id break the strap, whole nine yards. Bag is still absolutely, positively flawless. No rips, strap still secure and holding strong, all the zippers still work, whole nine yards. Its a bit dirty (not the bags fault, definitely mine), but for all its been through its holding up amazingly well. Seriously can not recommend this enough for anyone that just needs to be prepared for every eventuality (and needs the storage for items TO USE in every eventuality), this is your bag. It also works fantastically as a laptop bag, I bought a second one since I bought a gaming laptop and I can fit the laptop, my mouse, my headset, three different external drives, the wireless station for my headset, a USB hub, the charging cable, a controller, and a shit-ton of other cables in there neatly -- and Ive still got room to spare. It is seriously worth every penny thus far and I have no reason to suspect they wouldnt still be hauling my crap around in 10 years time.

Im using the Patrol Ready Bag as a range bag and it works just fine. These are the items I am able to carry in it: 2 Glock Pistols in their Glock boxes, 1 Ruger Mark 1 in a pistol rug, various paper targets, 4 pairs eye protection (stored in the waterbottle pouches), 4 pairs hearing protection, 3 smaller sized tupperware type containers for various caliber ammo,staple gun, 2 rolls of tape (duct and packing), baggie of disposable ear plugs, 3 extra Glock magazines, 1 extended Glock magazine, and clamp on bipod. Im sure Im forgetting something but the point is that I usually going shooting with the family so I need to pack extra gear and this bag does that admirably. I was using a gym bag before and it felt flimsy compared to this bag. The material is heavy duty and the zippers are sturdy. As a patrol bag, this should work fantastic. As a range bag, I think this is excellent as well.

I love everything about this bag except the shoulder strap and the velcro straps on the top. I like the idea of the velcro straps but they dont adhear that good. The shoulder strap needs to be improved as well.

This bag is definitely worth the money. It has room, construction, multiple carry straps and has had many positive comments when people see it. It took me several months to find this bag and I am very pleased I chose this one. It is very large and can carry most items you could need. Clothing, food, tools and much more. This bag could carry multiple bowling balls and have no issues, that’s how well it’s made. Definitely would recommend!

I am a powerlifter and was in need of a bag with plenty of organization and pockets for the bands, knee sleeves, wallet, etc. This bag most definitely provides all of the storage and organization needed. It is extremely durable and after sharing the product in the stories on Instagram, Ive had some others say they need to buy this bag as well.

I keep this in my rig as my AWOL bag- 2-3 days of clothes including a dress shirt and tie, sweats, toiletries and towel, slippers and a pair of dress shoes, phone charger, etc. A wool blanket and thermarest knockoff ride on the top and are held in place by the handles, tucked in behind my passenger seat. So long as I keep boots and seasonally appropriate coat, hat and gloves in my car, I can be packed and gone in about long as it takes me to put on my seatbelt. I have only two grumbles about the bag, and the first isnt so much the bag as the advertising. Many vendors and the manufacturer describe the internal divider as customizable- uhm, no. It is removable, but it really only has one place where it can be put. Now, if 5.11 was just line it with loop material or PALS webbing, Id have to break down and buy it again with the updated interior. That, and I wish the water bottle pockets were big enough for a quart nalgene-type bottle. But I knew these things going into the purchase and I cant give it a 4.5 stars.

I have destroyed more luggage over the last 30 years than I want to think about. I refuse to spend the money on a TUMI bag. I have destroyed very expensive Coach bags, and even a super expensive Zero Haliburton hardcase. I stuff my cases with paper and myriad cords and devices. This cop bag has become my working briefcase. Its size garners comments (how can you carry such a big bag???). It is BIG (i need it to be) but it is LIGHT, tough, and (generally) well designed. It doesnt look like a typical briefcase but it is NOT out of place in a business setting -- it doesnt scream police or military equipment.: The ONE thing I wish for is a larger external pocket big enough for my small laptop --- for temporary stowing as I go through airport security. I am considering buying another to have in reserve after I destroy this one ... though it is holding up really well, so I do not know when that will be.

This bag is great. It has plenty of room for my portable DVD player, PSP and 3ds. Theres is also room for DVDs and plenty of games. I guess if you need to bring work stuff with you theres room for that also. The zippers and material are great quality. Theres plenty of pockets. I dont really care for the middle divider thing on the inside, it seems sorta cheap. The middle part is the only downside but still worth 5 stars

I was issued one of these with a previous agency and now purchased one for myself. Great go back that I keep in my vehicle for all situations. Very durable and holds a lot. Delivery was also very fast.
