Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video, I have been looking at a 60liter exactly as the 3 day pack that you reviewed which comes with the additional belt and three additional packs. I don’t know much about the new back pack so you educated me and I greatly appreciate it.
Wunderbaaaaar! I knew I had to watch this when I saw you surrounded by a bunch of bags... Usually you slap the hell out of them bags when you're doing a 1 vs 1 comparison. More than 2 bags is likely to end up in a Slapfest! 😂 I was not dissapoint. 😎
i have a miltec 20ltr army patrol backpack. it costs 30 euros and for this price it is great. when u decide to buy a tactical backpack for every day use or for hiking, hunting, traveling etc. you will buy the one that fits u. of course the dragon egg and 5.11 are great bugs but they are very expensive. always think why do u need the backpack. what i mean is that i bought the bag for traveling. i didnt want something more expensive with better quality cause because for my use it would be a big waste of money. maybe later on i will buy an expensive one if and only i need it. anyway the miltec is a good german company with reasonable prices. it is something beetween mfh and pentagon. both good and sometimes bad. but if u choose the right product u will be satisfied. personally i recomend it. thanks for reading. and make the right choice :)
5 Reasons why backpackers dislike "Tactical" style packs: 1-Weight. The 1000D Nylon is very heavy compared to the lightweight nylon of hiking packs. 2-Structure. The lack of a frame makes it a poor choice for multi-day treks where you carry serious weight. 3-Bad air flow. These bags simply do not have adequate back ventilation for serious hiking. 4-Heavy weight rides poorly in the pack. The packs aren't designed to distribute weight across your body properly. 5-Price. Big brand name bags cost the same amount as high end hiking packs like Osprey, Fjallraven, etc. and simply cannot compare to them. I like "tactical" style bags, and use them often. Don't get me wrong. This is just for anyone wondering why not everyone uses them. Cheers.
Everything you wrote is certainly true but I'll take the "tactical" style any day over a more traditional backpack. I have friends that prefer more traditional backpacks and they can't hold up to what I carry or how long my packs lasts. All packs certainly have their place but only the tactical style packs can handle what I do and what I carry.
performance tactical packs military approved packs are what to look for rugged high quality gear that wont bust a zipper or have a blow out 30 days after you buy it solid straps that wont load stress rip at the mounting site. my opinion and great video
Awesome! I have watched several review videos from you. I like this one the most. You might want to check out the YoMont pack on Amazon. 1050D cordura fabric, YKK zippers, UTX buckles and low price. I really like it.
***** Thank you Crocket, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by. I hope all is well with you and the family. Your boys are getting so big. Be well & stay safe my friend. Also - Just say the word and the ESEE 5 will be sent for you to play with for a while, no rush sending it back.
When I saw 20mins of video I thought seriously about not watching. I'm glad I've watched it! Awesome review man, helped me a lot in deciding for a bag, your advices are great. Thank you for your amazing contribution!
Glad I came across your videos. In the process of going into Law Enforcement and very happy to find informational videos to help me in my prep/edc beginnings. Subbed.
Hi Tim, well i see what you mean i was on the verge of buying a WOLFSPUR, never again will i question your advice, after reading the amazon reviews i will stick with my mobius and tolcat, i have to add i have an old UTG sholder bag ive used for many yrs with fewer complaints....will maxped ever lean, i mean after all the zippers stick on the WOLFSPUR...
Todd S Always! I'm not BS'ing you when I say TNP has changed my life. For the better of course. Thank you for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. Be well & stay safe.
Awesome! So many great packs/brands out there but I've really been liking the 5.11 RUSH packs for some time now. As much as I like the Sandstone color their new Gray color is looking nice.
What are the other brands you mentioned that are priced over 100 dollars? I'm looking for an EDC and want to look into what's available before I make a final decision. I was looking at the 5.11 12 or 24 as 5.11 seemed to be the only brand I could readily find. I stumbled on your channel by chance so would like to know what other brands apart from Maxpedition, 5.11, etc to look into.
Diddier Newman Other than the brands you mentioned I'd also look into Vanquest, Direct Action and First Tactical. Some budget brands with slightly less quality but still worth their price points are Death Dealer Tactical, Fox Outdoors and Onetigris. You can't go wrong with Vanquest or 5.11 - those are the two brands I personally use most often. I have two edc bags I alternate between, the RUSH12 and the Mobius by Vanquest.
Look into mystery ranch as well as some of the other brands mentioned rarely. I just collect a list of names via searching for equipment reviews and then hunt up websites.
I'm a big fan of 5.11 packs, I have almost all of them and they are great quality and the prices are pretty fair for what you get. Personally the 72 would be prefect for hat you need. It's a big pack and has some weight to it empty but it'll hold a lot of gear and it's really made well. If I had more money to spend you can't go wrong with a pack from TAD (Triple Aught Design) or Eberlestock, they are absolutely amazing packs and are very well designed and are very strong but they are also rather expansive. Certainly worth every penny. 5.11 packs aren't very far behind but they are much cheaper in price. I guarantee you'd be very happy with a 5.11 pack and you'd have it for a VERY long time.
+Matthew Knight Most of the "top" brands have some sort of water resistance to them, some maybe a bit better than others. None of them in my opinion will last very long in a down pour or sunk in a lake for any length of time but they all will withstand some light rain or drizzle if need be. If your going to have electronics in your pack I would suggest placing them in bags or some sort of water proof sack before putting them in your pack. I carry plastic bags, large and small for this very reason just in case I'm out and get stuck in rain.
+Matthew Arrington They may have gone out of business. Check this link out: www.foxoutdoor.com/ItemDetails2015.aspx?cid=2&ccid=147&cscid=1205 - They are made by Fox Outdoors and can be found on Amazon as well as eBay. Hope this helps.
I just looked into the website, it appears on hold for the moment. Jared who owns the business is in the military and seems he may be deployed or in some training. I'm sure he'll be up and running as soon as he's back.
Try looking at packs that use 1000D where its needed but 500D or 340D where it isn’t. That will save as much as half the weight of the pack. Making the pack far more comfortable to wear for extended periods.
What would you recommend for a small-framed woman (5'3", 110 lbs.) for use as a bug-out-bag/survival bag or a backpack (one that can hold a sleep bag or one can be attached).
There are so many choices it can be mind numbing. If I where you I would look into the RUSH24 by 5.11 or the Ibex 20 or 30 by Vanquest. If your budget is a little tight check out Fox Outdoors, they have a large assortment to choose from.
Not exactly sure what constitutes a big guy but I'm 5'11" and 250lbs right now and the 72 fits me perfect, no back pain and definitely no neck pain. I've heard people complain that the shoulder harness (Yoke System) touches or rubs the back of their neck, I have to be honest, it's no where near the back of my neck. The only thing I can guess is that they have the pack really tight and sitting high, that's not how I wear my backpacks.
Must be a reason the 5.11 72 has 7 bazillion good reviews and maybe #1 sales So ...gun to head ONE big bag 72 size...pick one? Where do we get the best price? TY BTW ! Semper Fi Gunny
can you recommend something that would be good for riding a atv maybe for a 1-2 day trip max but that i can still maybe use on a average hike ( mind you i do have a regular hydration pack that is usually go for a knife some snacks water and a small first aid kit) the real catch with the atv is i cant load the racks with 2 much since i have aread seat so the sleeping bag and tent and a bit of extra feul are in the front the rest is probably on me
+Remy Paquin I would go with a 3 day pack personally because you at least have the option of loading it all the way or just a few things for a day hike. I just do day hikes myself but because I carry so much gear (camera, tripod, audio, products I'm making videos of as well as my own other crap). The benefit to a 3 day pack you can load it as much as you need. The RUSH72 is a great pack, it's the one I use in most of my videos. Vanquest has some really nice gear, check out the IBEX30 or the smaller IBEX20, both great bags for hiking and/or overnight trips. If you want to spend a little less then check out some packs from FOX outdoors, they have some really nice packs for a steal. The Gray/Green 3 day pack in this video is a FOX Outdoor brand, I hear it's selling now for about $40 or so on amazon, it's called The Operator Pack.
Hello Sir. I have an addiction to packs as well. I have one for almost every occasion. Right now I have the rush 12 and 24. I have the rush 24 in multicam to use in more military duty. Its a great gear bag. I dont carry it alot when in full armor, but it carries my extra gear and is a good vehicle bag. I don't like the Dragon Egg as much and Im not to fond of helikon tex either. Bags feel cheap and lacking features. Dragon Egg is comfortable and has good back airflow, the layout is just awful. But anyway keep up the good work, love your videos. Sgt. Davis. U.S. Army
Thank you Sir for stopping by and more importantly your service to our great country. I'm a big fan and 511, I have almost all their packs but lately it's pretty much been Vanquest gear products every day all day. Have you checked out Vanquest? Great gear but I'm thinking not so much for military use. Either way, good stuff for sure.
SgtSplatter782 I don't know enough about them, I can say I have never heard a bad thing about them. Some good gear reviewers here on YT gave them great reviews with ZERO complaints.
5.11... definitely. I'd choose almost any other brand over Maxpedition nowadays. This is a rather older video, it's pretty much Vanquest gear and 5.11 now for me personally.
Yes. But none of them have any padding, the laptop will fit but there isn't much protection. I'd check out the packs and sling bags from Vanquest, great bags/packs but there is some padding to protect the contents inside.
Awesome thanks I ended up going with the multi came 5.11 rush 12 pack and I have a hard case so I should be good to go I just need one to stand up for school and traveling
+Dawn Pennyfeather I would most likely go with a more traditional long distance backpack that is far lighter and can still hold lots of gear, the issue is I don't think the size of the pack you need is allowed as a carry on, it's been 18 years or so since I've flown anywhere so I don't know what is or isn't allowed. The packs I like are nice and very strong but not very light, for what you're going to do I'd want a "normal" Mountain hardware or Northface pack, still great packs but far lighter.
Hi, what bag would you reccomend for a BoB / bag I can also use for multi day airsoft milsim events? I was looking at the Exos Bravo tactical assault backpack (on Amazon). Nice price seems like a good bag.. Do you agree?
+Andrew Finerty Looks nice but for $36 I'd question exactly what kind of quality I'd be getting. Check out some bags by Onetigris and also FOX Outdoors, both budget minded quality products. A little more money than what you where looking at but a whole lot better quality.
Jim Fenton I do trade gear every now and then with people I know well, very well. I don't know of any sites that you can trade products, really not aware that any exist. I've only traded maybe a few times but normally if there's something I want to get rid of in order to buy something else I just sell it on ebay.
Hello, I am currently enlisted in the Marine Corps and ship out to boot camp next year and would like to purchase a good quality but not ridiculously expensive bag to ruck with about 35-50 pounds. Would the Death Dealer Tactical VENOM 48 Hour Assault Pack be a good option or do you know of any better options. I would like to stay under $75. Thank you.
DDT makes some nice gear but I honestly don't think it will hold up for what you need and what you'll be doing. If I where you I'd save up some more money and purchase something better made with better quality materials.
+Rob Michelon I'm fortunate, my wife has just one and it's a black Maxpedition Versipack. She got ride of her handbags and pocketbook a long time ago, been using the Versipack since.
+alex wewe I'd look into the Vanquest line, they make some really nice gear. They also have a very well made messenger bag that would hold that nicely.
Hi, fabulous review and info. Would like to get your opinion if I may. I'm considering a Rush 24 for a 3 day weekend type of trip (i.e. pack some clothes, essentials and such). Do you think that will suffice, or do I need to go with the 5.11 R72, or something else? I sort of want this bag to double as a short term B.O.B. AND a 3 day weekender travel bag. Thx.
George The 24 could be used on a 3 day depending on what you're bringing and how well you pack. You'll most definitely have to strap some of your gear to the outside of the pack. If the 72 is an option I'd go with that, it certainly has the room and could have some left over. I'd rather not need all the room but have it in case I need it. Both the 24 and the 72 would perform well as a bug out bag just in case.
George Absolutely. I have all three. The 12 is my edc pack, the 24 is my day hike pack and the 72 is for multiple day trips or when I'm going on a hike and have to bring LOTS of gear.
Hey folks! Does somebody of u know a company which sells the "Operator" from flashpacks.com and also ships it to Europe ...to a lets say fair price? Would be thankful for every help! Thank's
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video, I have been looking at a 60liter exactly as the 3 day pack that you reviewed which comes with the additional belt and three additional packs. I don’t know much about the new back pack so you educated me and I greatly appreciate it.

i have a miltec 20ltr army patrol backpack.
it costs 30 euros and for this price it is great.
when u decide to buy a tactical backpack for every day use or for hiking, hunting, traveling etc. you will buy the one that fits u.
of course the dragon egg and 5.11 are great bugs but they are very expensive. always think why do u need the backpack.
what i mean is that i bought the bag for traveling. i didnt want something more expensive with better quality cause because for my use it would be a big waste of money. maybe later on i will buy an expensive one if and only i need it.
anyway the miltec is a good german company with reasonable prices. it is something beetween mfh and pentagon.
both good and sometimes bad. but if u choose the right product u will be satisfied.
personally i recomend it.
thanks for reading.
and make the right choice :)
How is Miltec back padding? It seems basic.. i heard MFH does the same kind of assault pack too! I have the Helikontex Ratel MK2 currently.
Excellent review man !

Man after my own heart
I do a lot of camping and hiking with Boy Scouts and venturing. What would be the best tactical bags
I'm a big fan of 5.11 packs, I have almost all of them and they are great quality and the prices are pretty fair for what you get. Personally the 72 would be prefect for hat you need. It's a big pack and has some weight to it empty but it'll hold a lot of gear and it's really made well. If I had more money to spend you can't go wrong with a pack from TAD (Triple Aught Design) or Eberlestock, they are absolutely amazing packs and are very well designed and are very strong but they are also rather expansive. Certainly worth every penny. 5.11 packs aren't very far behind but they are much cheaper in price. I guarantee you'd be very happy with a 5.11 pack and you'd have it for a VERY long time.
what about water resistant bags i need a bag that has some decent protection from rain when you have electronics in it.
+Matthew Knight Most of the "top" brands have some sort of water resistance to them, some maybe a bit better than others. None of them in my opinion will last very long in a down pour or sunk in a lake for any length of time but they all will withstand some light rain or drizzle if need be. If your going to have electronics in your pack I would suggest placing them in bags or some sort of water proof sack before putting them in your pack. I carry plastic bags, large and small for this very reason just in case I'm out and get stuck in rain.

Hi!
I am debating between the maxpedition tiburon and the 5.11 rush 24 pack!

5.11... definitely. I'd choose almost any other brand over Maxpedition nowadays. This is a rather older video, it's pretty much Vanquest gear and 5.11 now for me personally.
@@GearReviewDepot why do you not recommend maxpedition anymore?
Also what is a good vanquest bag that has around the same volume as the rush 24?

Nope. No sneakers. Sorry.
Are any of these backpacks good for holding a laptop about 15 inches in length
Yes. But none of them have any padding, the laptop will fit but there isn't much protection. I'd check out the packs and sling bags from Vanquest, great bags/packs but there is some padding to protect the contents inside.

I've only traded maybe a few times but normally if there's something I want to get rid of in order to buy something else I just sell it on ebay.
Hello, I am currently enlisted in the Marine Corps and ship out to boot camp next year and would like to purchase a good quality but not ridiculously expensive bag to ruck with about 35-50 pounds. Would the Death Dealer Tactical VENOM 48 Hour Assault Pack be a good option or do you know of any better options. I would like to stay under $75. Thank you.
DDT makes some nice gear but I honestly don't think it will hold up for what you need and what you'll be doing. If I where you I'd save up some more money and purchase something better made with better quality materials.
Glad I'm not the only one. I wonder if there's a medical term for a backpack addiction
The only cure that I'm aware of is to buy more backpacks. lol
just remember that when you look at how many handbags your lady has
+Rob Michelon I'm fortunate, my wife has just one and it's a black Maxpedition Versipack. She got ride of her handbags and pocketbook a long time ago, been using the Versipack since.
the Operator bag from flashpacks says 600D on the website....it's not 1000D
Hey, have a quick question. Do you have a problem with the pockets in the admin area sagging after long term use ? Thank you.
No, I really can't say I do. They seem to be exactly as they where the day I started using it.
were u from Sir
NOMADIC TRAVELER Massachusetts.
can you recommended tactical backpack for 18 inch laptop ;)
+alex wewe I'd look into the Vanquest line, they make some really nice gear. They also have a very well made messenger bag that would hold that nicely.
Hi, fabulous review and info. Would like to get your opinion if I may. I'm considering a Rush 24 for a 3 day weekend type of trip (i.e. pack some clothes, essentials and such). Do you think that will suffice, or do I need to go with the 5.11 R72, or something else? I sort of want this bag to double as a short term B.O.B. AND a 3 day weekender travel bag. Thx.
George The 24 could be used on a 3 day depending on what you're bringing and how well you pack. You'll most definitely have to strap some of your gear to the outside of the pack. If the 72 is an option I'd go with that, it certainly has the room and could have some left over. I'd rather not need all the room but have it in case I need it. Both the 24 and the 72 would perform well as a bug out bag just in case.
I see what you mean. Yes, maybe could get the 72 for those types of trips, and then maybe go with the 12 for EDC as I believe you do.
George Absolutely. I have all three. The 12 is my edc pack, the 24 is my day hike pack and the 72 is for multiple day trips or when I'm going on a hike and have to bring LOTS of gear.
Thanks again.. checking out your comparison review on those bags now. You've got a great channel.
