MAXPEDITION Jumbo Versipack

Very scratchy material. Might be uncomfortable to wear without breaking in a little. Tough as nails and will last a lifetime!

Birthday gift for my boyfriend. These bags are known for being well made and awesome, so he'd had it on his wish list for awhile. He is thrilled with it. Worth every penny.

The maxpedition Jumbo is a great bag and i carry it almost every day. Both to work, packed with an 8 inch tablet, alot of tech and my lunch, and for family stuff, diapers snacks and clothes. It does pretty good as a diaperbag.I have had mine for over a year and I have yet to find a fault with it.Its really durable and holds off dirt pretty good. Its also pretty much waterproof.It has a pocket for concealed carry weapons. That is great for my phone, wallet, tickets, passport or other stuff you want easily accesible.Otherwise its pretty much what it says on the tin. The havnt revolutionised bags, they just made a very good one.

Fast Perfekt!Wieso nur fast? Das Schulterpolster verrutscht ganz gerne mal, was hin und wieder störend sein kann.Ansonsten bietet die Tasche eine wirklich schwere Qualität, Robust, viele Taschen mit durchdachten System und sieht dazu noch klasse aus.Sie bietet genug Platz für mein Vesper für den ganzen Arbeitstag, plus seitlich meine 1 Liter Nalgene Flasche.Seit ich sie habe begleitet Sie mich jeden Tag und erfüllt ihren Zweck mehr als gut.

Sehr gute Qualität in Material und Verarbeitung.Teuer.Zur Zeit benutze ich diese Tasche nicht. Ich habe die Modelle "Sitka" und später "Noatak" probiert.Bin beim "Noatak" geblieben. Diesen hat imho den besten Kompromiss zwischen Größe und Tragekomfort.

11-14-11Update before reading my original review: This pack just gets better and better the more I use and understand its wonderful benefits. I am sooo glad I went with the green and khaki colored pack because it looks great in the woods and doesn't look like a man purse. I can go into the woods or into a supermarket and it looks apropos in both places.I purchased the khaki-colored American flag that sticks directly on the front of the flap, via Velcro. It looks great and it carries great. Lastly, I did order a snap that fastens to the strap with Velcro. It holds a tremendous amount of weight, but I use it mostly to hook my camera strap into for safety, placing my camera in the pouch. The strap makes it easy to quickly pull out the camera and take pictures. I have fastened heavy objects to this snap to carry electronics, flashlights, etc., and it was no strain at all.Don't delay, this is the pack - just right in size for most of us. Not too big and not too small. An everyday, every-man/woman pack.=====First, if you do any kind of hiking or trailing where you need hydration, this is the pack you want. I can fit a 32 oz bottle easily into the pack, as well a fill it with a ton of things. In fact, you can get it so full that it is noticeable on your shoulder. What to do? Unsnap the Velcro shoulder pad and move it forward to rest on your shoulder better. Also, there is a buckle placed such that the Velcro straps can go on each side of it so that it stays in place. I was a little concerned when I first put it on because it didn't hit my shoulder at all. When I realized I could unzip the Velcro and move the placement of the pad - presto! Instant joy.I am currently carrying this full, as well as a backpack with approximately 12 to 15 lbs of weight to do training for a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail next year. This pack sits low on my side and back and doesn't interfer with my backpack. I really want to take it out on the trail with me so when I purchase my thru-hike bag I will take this with me to see how all fits together and shoot for what works best.Regarding color - I am very glad I didn't get the flashy colored packs - though they are very nice. I opted for the green/khaki. It is perfect for outdoors - blends in very well with all the green and dirt around and doesn't stand out as something out of a women's department. It looks perfect on my side with my hiking poles and backpack. I ordered the American Khaki flag to stick on the front - just peel the Velcro off and stick it right to the front of the bag, because I wear a schmag (scarf issued to Special forces) ordering a Desert colored one via Amazon. In fact, I ordered several to match this pack and I would never go hiking or backpacking again without one. I can't tell you how many uses it comes in handy for, but if you do decide to get one - take into consideration the color of your pack.One last thing - there is a lot of places to stick things in this pack - including a conceal carry weapon for those who have a permit or it is state accepted. This pack would be the smallest I would use for that. However, for electronic digital equipment, headphones, MP3, Android, keys, wallet, water, peanut-butter and jelly sandwich - this is absolutely the bag you want. After wearing it one week you will wonder how you ever did without it, and it is outstandingly made with quality materials that will only get softer the more you use it. I don't think I will ever have to replace this pack - but I will have to get one for my spouse! #:DUpdate: The more I use this pack the more I love it. One interesting fact. When I first received it I thought the shoulder padding was not in the right place because I was trying to wear the back on my side. I was wrong. After wearing it I realized that the back slips around behind my back and rides against my upper hips. I felt a little sheepish, but did want to share. It is easy to pull around to your side when you need to get to things in it.This is a much better pack than the smaller one that does not have a place to carry a water bottle, for me anyway, because I do a lot of hiking on Mt. San Jacinto (over 10,000 feet high) and the water bottle carrier is a godsend. Also, I now like to take my pack most places with me, even Starbucks to get coffee, because I carry two digital cameras and a digital recorder, not counting power bars, knives, and on and on.... Living in California I have come to the conclusion that if their is an earthquake that might bring down the freeway overpass I want my back in the back of the car to 1. provide power bars and water, and charged digital cameras to record everything I experience. Also a few extra charged batteries for your smart phone are a good idea, as well. The smaller pack without the water holder would have not worked near as well. Also, if you don't think you need the water for just going out, you can put other things in it.Lastly, I carry a small pair of high quality binoculars. There are so many things in this world to see, especially in nature, that we just pass by. It helps to have a small digital Sony recorder to go along with recording, then taking photos to share with others with sound once you have enjoyed the view.Good luck and you can't go wrong with this pack for day hikes and everyday going out. The more I use mine the more I like it. I have the yellow tactical - it goes great in the desert. Also get a Shemagh of the same color to cover your head, keep dust out, be a sun block, throw rocks with - you get the picture. Here is a link to those on Amazon:[...]

I did a lot of research before I bought this bag.Very high quality materials and high quality construction (and I am way picky, so that is saying a lot).Made of extra tough materials. The materials are so tough (fabric, zippers, belts) that it can rough up your hands if you are not careful - but that is good, nto bad.I got the foilage green; love that color. Was going to get black, but everyone seems to get black or khaki...wanted something a little different.Check youtube for video reviews on this bag; they are all accurate - great bag.Is it worth the 'list price'? maybe.Is it worth the 'amazon price'? yes, absolutely.I would not buy one of the cheaper knock off bags; go for this; smarter in the long run. Having seen a knock off bag, and having owned this one, there is no comparision. If you have the money, get this one.I wanted a tough and reliable bag that I could use for day trips:out and about,or out to the range,or out where ever;this is THE bag for that.Just the right size. Not too big; not too small.Can easily carry anything you like for a day trip.Can easily add other maxpedition pouches, etc. to it. I added a mega rolly poly.I like that you can use the water bottle holder, or squash it down and secure it to make the bag a bit smaller.Zippers are very smooth and easy to use.Buckles snap securely with a nice solid click.I can see having this bag for many, many years.Only downside is that the waist belt is kind of short. Just fits on a 44" waist. I won't be using the waist belt, but I mentioned it in case you might want to.Note that in some pictures this bag looks very big on some of the models; it is not very big (and that is ok if that is what you want). Check out the measurements before you buy to ensure it is what you need. If you want something bigger or smaller in the same style, there is a max bag for that.All in all, a great bag and a good buy at the amazon price.Note that there are cheaper versions of this bag (same dimensions) made by maxpedition. Pay attention to the differences to see if they are important to you. For example, the cheaper models do not have the cinch top in the main compartment as this one does - but that might be ok for you.Another thing worth mentioning is that the bottom of the bag is just fabric - no padding. That might not be an issue depending upon what you carry. But, if you have sensitive equipement like a camera, you might want to put something on the bottom of the bag to serve as padding when you put the bag down (could be something as simple as an old towel).Lastly, buying maxpedition products can become 'addictive'; they are really good.
