I've just bought the Large version (saw your vid on that, thanks). For the price difference, I'd say buy because you like the layout, and buy the Large (the 14 litre). You pay nearly as much for the 9 litre as the 14 litre that, unless you've cash to splash, you may as well buy the 14 litre - using you as a scale object :-) the extra space doesn't seem much extra, and it's better to have a tad more space than you think you'll need (you'll expand into it!). As for "cry once, buy once", love it, though I'll be crying for another week or two yet :-)
Also, I’m not someone that believes in carrying a firearm inside a bag of this kind. What do thieves want to steal? Loose bags. Purses and these kind of bags alike. I understand why you’d want to put a firearm in a bag like this but for me it would not be as a carry or defensive option. It would be if it needed to come off my body for transport reasons.
I’ve been using the Veldspar for about a year, but one can’t always look “tacti-cool”, so I’m thinking of getting one of these for work (I like that the Veldspar can fit under my scooter 🛵 seat) and travel.
Good review, you should really consider putting the exact name of the model you are reviewing in the title. "Larger and smaller" version doesn't tell me much. I assume this is the Veldspar.
That padding on the back looks like crap real fast. Why they put this material on thier bags I have no idea. Because of it this bag is unusable. I have many maxpedition products and am looking for an iPad bag. This one would have worked, too bad.
Do you mean due to the noise? I've bought several Maxpeditions. The worst is the Neat Freak. Can't use it as the velcro's far too loud, so I keep it in the car (batteries, small tools, paperwork). Velcro's a nightmare if you're somewhere needing to be quiet or discreet. Could replace with magnetic catches?
@@prva9347 The noise and the fact that it will always wear out. Admittedly some velcro is better than others but yeah, there are better options available. Like zippers, snap locks and magnetic fasteners now.
@@Buffalohump77 Not on the more "outdoors" luggage, but I've replaced velcro on "ordinary" bags with poppers (are they snap locks?), not because the velcro's worn out but to remove the noise element. I sew for fun but I hate replacing velcro with thick fabric or even canvas (hard work). I start first with sewing in a D-hook or a lobster clasp or two or three, then look at the velcro. But not the Neat Freak, that's a lost cause - I swear it's made of velcro.

Kind of want one!
Tim, thank you for sharing. It is a little pricey, but it will last for many years. Take care and be safe. 🤗
Nice Tim thanks I just ordered a condor pocket pouch and plan to make a survival kit out of it

Really awesome review.
I'd love one, but, like all Maxpedition, it's pricey.
It's pricey, but they will last forever though.
@@grail25 -- agreed. I have some Maxpedition, and it's quality gear.
Hello Just want to know if it's adapt for a camera
Cool looking bag 💼 maybe a different color for me personally but a good design 😘
Is this item waterproof? Or at least it repeals the water?
I don't know if pick this one or the jumbo versipack... Any advice
What will you be using the bag for? That will help me maybe offer some advice
@@EverydayTacticalVids For EDC and some tools, a Leatherman Surge , external batteries, wallet , etc... Im almost decided for this one
great vid and review tim. this bag kinda looks like vanquest's mobius bag. looking forward to more of your vids.
Agreed - the 2 bags are quite similar.
@@EverydayTacticalVids really appreciate your time in replying to my feedback. Mabuhay!
@@alphabravo41 Glad to have you as a part of the ETV community!
Good review.
Would this fit an insulated 1L Yetti comfortably? They're just a skosh thicker than an uninsulated bottle. Was your bottle insulated?
Good review, you should really consider putting the exact name of the model you are reviewing in the title. "Larger and smaller" version doesn't tell me much. I assume this is the Veldspar.
It is actually called their Cross Body bag actually.
Cud it fit IPAD AIR 2 IN THE INTERNAL?
Do you still have this bag? Planning on Selling it? Or already Sold? Does a Surface Fit in it?
Thanks!
It seems like Maxpedition is starting to turn their marketing to more of the ' Hipster" crowd.
Can an 11 inch tablet fit at the back where the ccw will be?
In the CCW - I don't think so.
Oh well. I was hopeful when I saw an iPad at the back. Thank you for the quick reply and for the great videos you always make.
@@carloamoranto2420 Sorry that won't work out for you, and thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.
@@EverydayTacticalVids how about ipad air 2 with 9.7 inch? wats ur ipad version?

Sounds like you need a new mic. I like these bags but I just don’t have a use for them.
Nice but pricey
I despise velcro. Should be banned for use on all bags.
