CAMELBAK - Trizip

Details

Category: Packs/Bags

Created: Monday, 20 July 2009 07:13

SPECS: 20 In x 13 In x 11.5 In, 2318 CU IN (37.97 L)

Camelbak teamed up Mystery Ranch on this one offering their unique trizip zipper opening layout. The attention to detail on the small features really makes this pack stand out as a quality pack. Starting off I'll note the Futura Harness is extra heavy duty offering loads of padding and support. Feel free to put whatever the hell you want in this pack since the harness strap system is built tough enough to hold loads usually applied to much larger packs.

Dims:Approx 17" x 14" x 5"

I'm not sure of the exact name of this one, but is basically a military version of Watershed's civilian duffle designs. This one is a pretty nice general purpose size for keeping a set of clothes or a set of electronics nice and dry. Speaking of electronics, a sweet insert was included to offer the option to keep things padded and soft inside.

Jax Pax Packs: Bug Out Belt

Details

You probably haven't heard of Jax Pax, but I do enjoy showing off quality gear from lessor known folks. This setup here is pretty unique in which most Bug out / Bail out rigs are shoulder bags, however this unit went with a belt + integrated thigh rig setup. It can look a little wacky at first, but the big advantage is that one can run with this rig on and still access the majority of the pockets.

MAXPEDITION KODIAK GEARSLINGER

Details

The Kodiak is basically a big version of the Sitka, so check out the review above if you get lost here. As a starting note, I took off the Y-strap as shown in my pictures. Fans of this strap need not worry as it is included. For those running out of room on the Stika, Mister Kodiak here doesn't mess around with almost double the cubic inch capacity. Features wise almost everything is the same, done bigger, until you get to the interior.

MAXPEDITION - New Colors

Details

Category: Packs/Bags

Created: Tuesday, 17 March 2009 07:53

Maxpedition has all the major tactical colors covered, but have recently started to offer some interesting mixes. Some include: Khaki / Foliage, Black / Foliage, Black / Khaki, and Orange / Foliage. As a sneak peak I believe I even saw a Blue / Foliage at shotshow. I personally really like the Khaki / Foliage where the colors appear to blend with each other. The black mixes also look pretty tough and Woa! man is the Orange series easy to see. Rescue folks and hunters will likely appreciate the hi-viz. Added some pics from shotshow thanks to TechieBags.com

I splurged for the big version here, but note an 8"x10" version is also available. This pistol case is a straightforward, but solid design. The exterior front has loop velcro area and a generally clean back with extra D-rings for optional shoulder straps. Substantial handles are integrated with padding in the grip area.

MAXPEDITION SITKA GEARSLINGER

Details

Category: Packs/Bags

Created: Tuesday, 17 March 2009 06:55

Maxpedition keeps em coming with further development in the popular gearslinger series. The Sitka first comes off to me as an evolution of mixing Typhoon and Lunada concepts. The result is a single strap smaller sized backpack that can be easily accessed when shifted from back to frontal position. Features are certainly abundant so I'll try not to bore you out going overkill with detail.

5.11-TACTICAL 50" Gun Case

Details

Category: Packs/Bags

Created: Saturday, 30 August 2008 05:43

This is just a preview till I get a good long gun in there to beat up on it, but thought I'd spread the word. It is just like the 36" version shown earlier, but with more length. At 50" you can fit a M24 with supressor in this badboy. I wish the tie-down velcro loops were modular or there were more of them since guns can vary quite a bit. Luckily the ones in there make do most of the time. The case still even comes with 2 rifle mag pouches. I didn't "need" this offhand, but my LAPG buddies had it on a fire sale:

Carbine / Rifle case. Includes modluar double rifle mag pouch.
First Impressions by guest reviewer: Evan C.

The flat dark earth brunt orange coloration continues to bother me. It's interesting because the nylon used in the interior of the case is coyote!

The 5.11 Tactical line of single Gun Cases are designed for a single carbine or long gun. Available in 36", 42", and 50" sizes, the single Gun Case is constructed from a 1050-denier nylon and is available in Black or 5.11's Flat Dark Earth.
