Great review. Keep in mind that if you use a bag for carrying a weapon, make sure to wipe the bag down thoroughly, inside and out, at least twice, to remove any gunpowder residue that may have gotten on the fabric so that it's easier getting through TSA checkpoints.
That's a nice bag. I keep looking for something with CCW capability to replace my Maxpedition Falcon II but I'm very picky. This one just might be it. Thank you.
@@woop1062 Sorry for the very late response. I like the larger bag a lot. I bought for two reasons, I need a new briefcase/laptop case and the other reason was I needed a new travel bag when we go overseas during the summer. This big bag worked great for both requirements.
Big Lou Great, thank you. I bought the big one, as well. I like the bag. I use a more discreet bag when traveling overseas. I made a large, reflective panel to cover up the front MOLLE.
You don't find this 13 inch cramped for EDC versus the larget size? Seems like once you fill the pockets, the interior will become compressed and the avail room vanishes?
Good video. The bag though is too heavy on the front. Most of the pockets are on the front and flap. This leads to the bag leaning to one side due to the weight of the flap storage. There are only a couple rear pockets so, balance is off. I returned mine. Bag will NOT sit flat once you load it. Tips over.
The bag sits and leans to the front when packed out. The front part of the bag and the flap are 90% of the storage. When packed out the bag does not sit level. Prone to fall over. The weight falls to the front of the bag. Design flaw.
I have this bag and it is awful. The front of the bag is too top heavy when loaded. Bag will also lean and tip due to too much cargo on the fold over flap. If there was more storage on the rear of the bag, it might sit up evenly. It is clearly a design flaw. Sent it back.
the word organization sounds cool but what it really means is that we just stuff more crop to carry around all day - every day - this bag copied the 511 messenger bag down to the expanding pockets ( that i sewed shut because they are pains in the ass ) to the two zippered pockets on the front flap - they even copied the back of the 511 messenger bag with the zippered pocket and luggage pass through - and the front with the document pocket - the 511 is a great bag with fine materials but to many pockets on the inside - by removing ( carefully ) the interior pockets and basically having one clean compartment - you can use smaller pouches or organizers to create a truly useful bag - all that junk on the inside of all these messenger bags just create more bulk and all day you carry a bagpipe around - a good bag has to have some empty space so the bag can form around your body as you move around and also so you can carry something extra till you get home - we carry to much - i like to keep a insulated water bottle " inside " because keeping stuff on the outside puts the bag off balance - if you have to attach stuff on the outside of the bag - you are either carrying to much or need a bigger bag
Awesome bag, more better tha 5.11 Mike hands off. - Stand up very well, very good balanced. Mike not. - More deeper than Mike ( too narrow) so more useful interior pockets. - Orange interior are awesome to find objects. - Water bottle pockets have space for Nalgene, Mike not. - Less molle on exterior so less tacticool and less useless weight. - Great handle grab. - Usefull zip on the top to take interior objects without use Velcro front panel.
Gotta say im a huge fan of your channel once again always love the videos, whether im trying to learn about gear, check in on the channel, or pass the time i am never disappointed or bored with your videos! Glad you learned something new about it and it gave me an idea for my 5.11 Messenger bag aswell so thanks for the tips and tricks always fun to learn and mess around with gear!! Cool patch by the way! Till next time!
I'd say this one isnt quite as tacticool looking as some of the others coming out these days but it is getting pretty hard to find a good pack that doesnt stand out

Very Cool Vanquest messenger bag Aaron !!!!!!!!
Vanquest is top of the line everything. Greatest tactical bag company on the planet. Period.
That's a nice bag. I keep looking for something with CCW capability to replace my Maxpedition Falcon II but I'm very picky. This one just might be it. Thank you.
I like the very innovative sound effect here 11:16 and I love the bag thanks for this video 👍
Which do you prefer the mobius or the 13 messenger
Can we call it a satchel? Like Indiana Jones?
Liked your review. Just ordered the larger version. Keep up the great reviews.
BigLou BigLou How do you like the larger bag, so far? I am looking at that bag.

@@woop1062 That's a pretty smart idea. I usually take any "tactical" type patches when traveling and put funny ones on instead.
Thank you for a comprehensive review! I feel better informed to make a buy/don't buy decision.
Think about Direct Action Messenger Bag. Great Chanel. Nice to watch. Good luck!
Can this withstand heavy rain?? Tq
hello i just want to know if its adapt for a camera thank you
I would think so! 👍
@@gideonstactical im just a little "afraid of the space if its rains

What water bottle is the green one in this video? I know it’s 2 years old also
Great product and video.

Mine is very good balanced, stand up very well and comfortable. I use back and front pocket. If you use only one side is normal that is unbalanced.
Nice review. Great bag!
Cool video. Thanks. I just bought Spyderco's version of the same Vanquest bag. It was just released a couple days ago. Awesome bag for sure.👍
Did yours come with that divider thing he had in the main compartment?
@@rctrue Yes.
@@45acpP90 Interesting, mine didnt, unless I just haven't stumbled across it yet.
Great Video! How can I purchase a patch if any are left?

Always awesome reviews. Thank you!!!
Hi Aaron, you have a cool patch. May I purchase one please?
Could you test if it fits legal documents comfortably? I read it is 14 inch wide. Is it too snugged?
Great surprise video Aaron thanks bro! Enjoy your upcoming weekend @Northerner7373
Thank you for this video.
I'm having a hard time deciding..
Messenger? Mobius?katara?
Bible! Yes!
You should check out the grey ghost gear messenger bag. Great bag. Also love the channel.
The bag sits and leans to the front when packed out. The front part of the bag and the flap are 90% of the storage. When packed out the bag does not sit level. Prone to fall over. The weight falls to the front of the bag. Design flaw.
Well I cArry 2 back packs if that makes sense. They'r smaller packs but they each have a purpose

So carrying a heavy messenger or sling bags for distance is measured in yards versus backpacks in miles? Makes sense! 💪🇺🇸👍
I liked the Molly on the last one as it looked better
Nice Video! Is this the gen-4 version of this bag? :-)
Pretty sure it is. the 13 is Gen 4 only.
Check out the RapDom T-311...I love mine. Thanks, awesome review.
Did you say 6'-2" and 115lbs? I think you tip the scale a bit more than 115.😆
Kyle Schumacher yep miss spoke, 215lbs. I say it a lot in my videos lol

Your microphone was covered the whole video....
Not exactly the sexiest bag ever. Looks like something Nintendo designed in the 90's and forgot about until now.
Way too tactical/mall ninja looking.

my style 1444 made in 1985
