Mongo Versipack (Black)

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

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.

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.

was looking for an EDC and wanted one that fits my 15 laptop....and this does. Its snug, and you have to raise the rain sleeve, but it fits and when the bag is closed, it doesnt look any different than without the laptop inside. Added the sneak holster, and loaded it up with my EDC supplies. Plenty of room for everything. I will say the 1000 denier is stiff, this bag is rock solid, but you have to fill it and let it reform as it is shipped all folded up. Carrying this is great, cross body or over one shoulder, no issues at all. I debated about which versipack to go with....I am very happy I went with the Mongo....

Maxpedition bags rock, as many of you probably already know. i had a smaller one called the jumbo versipack for day trips and now we have this larger one for baby essentials for our newborn too. Quality is exactly what I expected and will use it for years to come for anything life throws at us. Wonder how long until I buy another Maxpedition, since its kind of addicting :P

The virtue of this bag is its durability. It is tough. On the other hand, this also means the fabric is not very flexible. With much use and over time, the bag does become more pliable. Ultimately, one buys this type of bag precisely because it is supposed to be durable and this one is.

Stepped up from a jumbo Versipack. The Mongo is basically the same thing but a couple inches wider. In some of the Maxpedition page images, this think looks to be about the size of a very large briefcase. It’s not that huge, at best a smaller medium size. It’s a great size for my everyday, and fits a full size iPad very well, even with the iPad in an otter box defender and then in a big casefolio. Love this bag.

Ok, first of all its a shame that such a great product wasnt made in the U.S. This bag, is really on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for, everything is just sturdy, even when I need to sprint across the airport I just fasten the hip strap to my waist and I can just be carefree. Say you need to go through rain? no problem, the water just slides against the fabric. Doesnt even smell bad in damp conditions. This is a heavy bag though, I usually pack my netbook in it, a full sized knife, a flashlight, wifi device, tactical pen. First aid kit. and sometimes a gun. I know its overkill, but sometimes those long camping trips just need one bag where you can say this is emergency bag
