The 5.11 LV Covert Carry Pack, Carries Everything Except the Kitchen Sink
Two months ago I received this 45L pack, normally it doesn’t take this long to get a review out about an item, especially one as good as this, but this took a while to learn just how good it was. I’ve used it for work carrying my laptop, lunch, and water, I’ve used it for […]

5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots: A tactical boot in a casual profile
