Mongo Versipack (Black)

But the bag is too big for edc

I purchased this bag based on many 5 star reviews. Maxpedition has come up with a great design, but their Quality Assurance process needs to be improved. The stitched on pocket on the flap of the bag looks like it was stitched on by someone learning to sew. The folks at Maxpedition simply call it just a cosmetic issue, but when people look at this bag, the first thing you notice is the questionable stitching located right above the Maxpetition logo, it speaks for its self. When you spend good money for a nice product, you expect a good product, not a product with questionable parts. Note to self, in future if there is something that I want from Maxpedition, find a store somewhere that carries it, inspect it, and if it looks good, then Buy it.

Great

I have a bit of a bag collection. I have every possible kind of bag from leather purses to countless tactical bags I use every day instead of carrying a purse. I have had my first maxpedition versipack for more then 8 years and I still carry it sometimes. When I saw that they made this bag I was so excited because it is so much larger than even the larger of the small versipacks. It has everything the smaller version has and more. It is compact enough to not be in the way when empty and when you need the room it really can handle almost anything you can stuff into it. On the daily I use the conceal carry pocket to keep my sidearm, two spare magazines and two pocket knives. This is all kept in place and easy to get to because of the Velcro wall on the back of the carry pocket. The water bottle pocket is big enough to carry a 64 oz water bottle. The retention strap is amazing to keep the bag nice and tight to my body when I long board with it and when I don’t, it tucks away. The front pocket also has Velcro so you can use it for any number of things including a carry pocket. The main pocket is large enough I used it to carry my laptop and book to attend school when I didn’t want to drag out a whole bag just for one class.

Exactly as everyone describes!!!!

Some improvements from the Jumbo

Great bag! If you know Maxpedition products, this is more of the same. SOLID. Functional. Well considered. Pricey, but you truly do get what you pay for. The first review posted went into quite a bit of detail, so I wont re-iterate (except to agree a grab handle would have been nice). I would add two thoughts: 1) Ive longed for a more carry-able version of the Jumbo/Fatboy to carry to and from a work setting. This bag fills that niche. It LOOKS like a messenger bag and is big enough to carry a legal pad or three-ring binder. Even with this main compartment filled, the bag still has a ton of EDC potential. 2) If you focus on JUST the long top pocket on the bag. There is an elastic strap across one side of that compartment-- I use the slots in the elastic to hold down a small flashlight, knife, multi-tool, lighter, whistle. On the other side of the compartment is a zippered mesh pocket -- perfect for Handi-wipes and a small first-aid kit. This, of course, leaves space for free floating gear in between the elastic straps and the mesh pocket. This is just one pocket -- and there are TONS more -- but it illustrates the type of organizational design that makes Maxpedition bags so super-functional. Strong recommend.

great bag! worth the money! th quality o the bag is great, i wish they would use better material for the zipper pulls. i switched them out with some paracord. i love how versatile the organization is. this bag meets the needs for several situations and is comfortable to carry.

l picked this up for a guys diaper bag. This is awesome! I am very pleased with the quality and options available for this.

Awesome
