A few things on this bag.
1) I'm glad I didn't buy any of the hook addon panels for this to place in the two front pockets as shown on those product pages. Those pages said they would work on this bag on the inside of the front pocket flap. This product page didn't mention anything about that so I'm glad I waited.
2) For the price I paid, I feel this was too much money for this bag but then again, all of Maxpedition products I feel are over-priced.
3) I like this bag a lot. I own a standard Versapack I bought over 10 years ago and I hated it. It was small and the fabric was stiff and there wasn't too much versatility. This bag, even though it still doesn't have the versatility someone might want by adding on to the bag with molle accessories, it has enough space to carry everything I need plus room to spar, the Versapack, not so much. The fabric seem tough but it's also flexible and the seat belt shoulder strap is nice and comfortable. The reviews I watched on youtube on this pack showed it had a hidden pocket on the back to hide the belt but my bag didn't have any. Those videos was shot a few years ago when this line of bags came out so it's a good possibility that Maxpedition changed the style somewhat.
4) The size of the bag is perfect for me. I carry carry just about everything I need when I'm out and about and still have room for extra stuff if I need it. I like the really wide back pocket with the loop fabric. The Verssapack was half this width and made putting a full sized handgun, like a Beretta 92FS in there a huge issue and getting it out was just as problematic. This bag has a huge width and opening and is deep enough to carry the longest kind of pistols for those that are legally allowed to.
5) The side pocket zipper doesn't have a pull on it. It's just a plain metal zipper pull. It would have been nice to have that one extra zipper pull like the rest of them on the bag but I'm sure there's a good reason they didn't, like maybe security so it makes it harder for someone to sneakily open that zipper and steal stuff inside, I don't know but I'll be adding one to that zipper.
6) I would have liked to see more elastic loops in the bag and wider ones. The ones in there now are narrow and are high up so if what you're putting in there doesn't have a pocket clip to secure it, it'll just fall though eventually. For example, I have this small knife, a Buck Canoe. No pocket clip and is short. I can't put it in any of those elastic loops because it's either too wide or not wide enough and is too short to stop it from fall in the bottom of the bag's pocket. These loops are good for pens and small knives or multi-tools that have pocket clips, that's about it.
