Mongo Versipack (Black)

I researched for months, hunting down the ultimate, most durable, most organizable, purse-size EDC bag. It has everything I wanted--and is durable, organizable, and purse-size. But lets face it: this bag isnt attractive. It isnt fashionable. It isnt even capable of being made more attractive. No amount of puff paint or glitter is going to turn this beast into a beauty contestant. The strap is difficult to adjust, making it hard to carry over a shoulder, and it makes my back hurt when worn cross-body. And its HEAVY. Filled with my normal girly purse-type stuff, it clocked in at almost fifteen pounds without a water bottle. Plus, I noticed that Id get some weird looks when I was carrying it in stores, even with the Im so not a scary person patches (medic, WFR, girl pirate, St. Michael). I so wanted to love this bag, but it just didnt happen. I still have it, and Im hoping we can turn it into a diaper bag in the future, but it doesnt work for EDC. Instead, I turned to the Timbuk2 Eula, which gives up a bit in the organization department, but I dont get stares or feel like Im the least fashionable woman on the planet (but lets face it, I am). The Eula is also waterproof, much lighter, easier to adjust for multiple ways of carrying, and it is half the cost of the Mongo.

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.

i bought this to make a get home bag, fits everything I needed.

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.

It bought this bag to serve a dual purpose. I needed a daddy friendly diaper bag when Im out with my little man. My wife gad purchased a very girly designer diaper bag that I was just not comfortable carrying around. I looked at the diaper dudes and found that they did not feel like they were rugged enough for my standards. The Maxpedition line merest my standards and then some. There is plenty of room for all the stuff I might need on a day out with my little buy. I also plan on using this as a range bag or bug out bag once my baby no longer needs the diapers as well.

I love this bag. So much so, Ive purchased a second. One exclusively for work, and the other used as an EDC lite-bug out. The material is great, tough and sturdy. Enough pockets for whatever it is you want to tote (i.e. conceal) wink-wink. Its also very versatile and NON cumbersome, meaning its not clumsy or awkward in appearance or to carry. Like many other packs, satchels or slings, they are either too small, thin material, uncomfortable, not enough pockets or they are inconveniently placed. Not this bag.

Great

This is a great bag. Well built, durable and fits my 62 250lb frame well. Concealed pocket is tight but still holds my Sig P226 .40.

Some improvements from the Jumbo

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.
