5 11 Covrt 18 Impressions | Newer isn't always better
Переглядів 48 тис.3 роки тому
I review both versions of the 5.11 Covrt 18 Backpack. The older version is listed as smaller but it still looks and wears larger than the 2.0. The older version would be a great bug out bag. The newer version might be better suited as an EDC bag.

After carrying this bag for months, I give you my honest experience with this bag. I guess it would help if I included the price of $109.99. You can also find these bags used a little cheaper. Will you be picking up one of these or is there an alternative bag that you prefer? Please let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching! #5.11 Tactical #Sling Bag #EDC

5.11 Tactical Defender Pants | Low-Vis
Had my c18 original stolen out of my car. Really upset as no one sells the original anymore! The 2.0 sucks
Im got the 1st one and feeling a pull towards the second one. i just hope it isnt as floppy over time like the first one. it still holds up though
The 2.0 is garbage, the 1.0 was purpose built. The 2.0 is just a lazy attempt at pushing an “updated” bag out while still charging a premium.
The bag is really nice. It is about the size of the bag I have now, but is just a plain sling bag. My only issue with all of the CCW bags I have seen so far is they are only concealed because they completely hold the pew and closes with zippers. Office workers really need a ccw bag where the pocket itself is not visible. Basically only you know it is there. A lot of offices do not allow protection in, but are not providing protection with all of the incidents occurring.
Hi, is that the black model of the pack?
Shadow grey.
People are saying the strap is too big but as a bigger guy with broad shoulders, it’s perfect!
Thank you. Keeping the pewpew where you do, do you ever find it printing?
I do not. But I also have a notebook in the front sleeve.
If the gun is in the backpack you don't have a gun. 👎👎
Anyone have experience carrying heavier weight? Had it lying around so looking to convert it to a low-vis range bag. But worried about the load carrying 100-300 rds.
Don’t think that’s going to work for conceal carry. That lip plus the sling strap looks like it’s not re-enforced at the attachment point. Need to be able to put in a few hundred reps drawing my weapon without it breaking . That looks like it my break.
I don’t see why not seeing the time for a few seconds or minutes while you are in a different mode is a problem ? I understand they say it in all the videos and you have to say it but still….
The rubber chicken is my favorite part of the video. 😃
Is there a place to put a shield?
fails horribly in high beach winds and heavy rain and put an extra stake in front of the rear carbon rod 😊
I have the older version and have had it for what seems a lifetime. The shoulder straps have let me down and torn and frayed. i was going to get the new version but after seeing your comparison video it has made me think twice. Do you know where i can get my hands on an old version? Oh and one other thing i am based in the UK so there may be issues shipping it into the UK as i have had problems with some other kit i have tried to order not being shipped to the UK.
Nice wearing it, shows how it looks on a person. Nice video, very informative.
Do people by the right in the rain scratch pads just for videos or do they actually use them? lol Nice review! I’m looking for a bag that I can carry riding motorcycle over and Southeast Asia. I want to carry is a regular size iPad. Along with a raincoat since I won’t be carrying any of my regular blades I’d like to have a spot inside for carrying like a small fingernail, clipper and knife. That would be probably a perfect little set up with the backpack straps.
They always look so unused
Let’s go JB! 🙌
I just had my original stolen this week, really gutted because they don't seem to sell it anymore. The 2.0 looks rubbish in comparison.
Wanted to “like” this video, noticed that I already did!
Lol this is NOT a get home bag. Its a bug out bag. I mean this bag has way to much and weighs a ton. I mean if your just trying to get home why all this extra BS?. Fire crackers tied to a rock? Really right now? If i were 10 yrs old maybe. Folks build a bag for.things and situations your most likely to encounter. I mean this guy like many others on here build bags that are dungeons and dragons meets modern warfare type shit. Sad really.

Will it be enough place for the MacBook 16?
I really wanted to like this bag. In my experience, the storage volume was too small, especially compared to the size and length of the strap, which was ridiculously cumbersome. When off body, it was very awkward to carry by hand or store. That said, I really liked the details for customization. I really wish it were closer to 15L.
Great video! Are you still active with your UA-cam Channel? Just didn't see any recent videos.
Is the back panel waxed also? If so, any issues with the wax rubbing off on clothing?
👍👍👍👍
High price
Cost?
Good info 👍
That's an excellent review!
Good review! The reason you need the extra pouches because the molle is really worthless with zero stretch and to small for anything. Would have been better if it was a removal Molle panel and also a full clamshell opening as the lower Molle are totally useless. I have this bag and I am really trying hard to love it but their other bags that I own are much better and more thought out. On top of that the strap is the worst I have ever used and had to come up with an alternative to make it work. Love the idea but I really think they did not put an honest effort into it.
You've made this same comment on at least two other videos
. @VincentTamer Yes I did as it was easier to copy and paste. I just want people to know for the money it is not perfect and needs a little more thought. I have five of their bags and this was last one that I purchased and I would have to do a lot more research prior to another purchase.
@@Slimhaven1 Is there anything you can recommend in its place?
@@VincentTamer Still on the mission for the perfect bag! Thought this was going to be it but it has to many quirks. Been looking at Alpaka bags more but still havent found the right fit. Maybe I am to picky!!
I agree, for me the molle would be totally worthless. It was the deciding factor for me not to purchase this bag. Would have been much better if it was replaced with hook & loop, or an additional zippered pocket or two. I love the size of it.
As for the cash - recommend small bills over the larger ones.
It’s pretty crazy how the 2.0 looks like it would be the shitty original and the original is the top notch amazing upgrade
𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙙𝙜𝙚 10$ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Con, it's right-handed only. I'm a lefty.
I've really liked my 1st gen Covrt, but after several years its time I started looking for a replacement. I like the exterior lines of the 2.0 and I was considering either it or the Rush 24, but you confirmed that 5.11 got rid of all of the features I liked about the Covrt. Thanks for the detailed, honest, and user-oriented review.
They're making a new one for 2024 or 2025 I believe. :) Just in case youre still deciding.
Think they cut back on the 2.0 as the original is a solid piece of kit. Also I have pouches for the front velcro attachments that the 2.0 hasn't got.. Original version for me..
Just ordered one. I used your link. Hope that helps. Thanks for the video. 👍
I can't find the first gen backpack help please 😢
Great kit. Great presentation.
Got one at the BX this moring for $19.97
This seems like a nice get home bag, i know one of the front pockets is meant to put your handgun into it. With the extended strech compartment pocket added, it be nice to put a mini chest rig in there with an ar pistol and other stuff if you choose to do so.
Great Video Thank You
Amazing. Excellent video!
Thank you for the very informational video. I was thinking about buying one and now I know I should get one.
Thank you for saying that. This is why I do what I do. Much appreciated.
Agreed but to be honest, most people are braindead, heads in asses, ilk that dont pay attention and, if they do, they won't understand.
There are several after market, quality Oakley lenses you can pop in, I did it for my fuel cells.
To add, the hood rat IEDs are great!
Keep your TQ easier to retrieve, being buried in the bag is useless brother. I'd add a pressure dressing and wound packing, in regards to med. In regards to your "O POS" tag, it's useless. I know the military does it, I was a Paratrooper/medic in the 90s, lots of us did it with 100mph tape on boots plus dog tags. If, you, God forbid were hurt, you would get O NEG blood as universal then type/crossed and matched at shock trauma. Just my opinion as a former Army medic/now, paramedic for 26 years. Great load out brother!
Appreciate the feedback. I’ve added dressing to the kit and keep it in the front pocket with the handle exposed so it’s easier to access. Thank you for your service 🙏
@AmericanDrifter very cool and I thank you for your support. Keep grinding brother.
