5.11 LV18: A low vis 30-liter backpack

5.11 LV18: A low vis 30-liter backpack

Today I’m reviewing the best bag of Shot Show 2019, the 5.11 LV18 “Low-vis” 30-liter backpack. This isn’t your ordinary bag, in fact, I would consider it a piece of my kit now. It boasts a lot of cool features and leaves out the nonsense. I was able to fit my full loadout inside this […]

The all NEW Maxpedition Prepared Citizen backpack

The ALL NEW Maxpedition Prepared Citizen backpack

The “Prepared Citizen Classic” design was conceived based on the phenomenon in evolutionary biology known as mimicry, in which one organism resembles another in order to improve its odds of survival. The pack’s outward appearance, reminiscent of the most commonplace daypacks, helps its well-equipped owner take on an uninteresting and non-threatening appearance, protecting him from […]

GORUCK GR1: Brainchild of former Army Special Forces Sgt. Jason McCarthy

GORUCK GR1: Brainchild of former Army Special Forces Sgt. Jason McCarthy

The GORUCK GR1 is the brainchild of former Army Special Forces Sgt. Jason McCarthy. After transitioning out of the military and going to college Jason fell back on an idea he had about a backpack that in his words “What lived on was the idea for a bag that you could use in Baghdad or […]

Grey Ghost Gear Debuts Magnificent BAR-5200 Modern Ruck

Grey Ghost Gear Debuts Magnificent BAR-5200 Modern Ruck

Grey Ghost Gear is proud to announce the release of its BAR-5200: the mightiest of modern rucks. The magnificent BAR-5200 pack is an excruciatingly well-designed evolution of the old military ALICE pack. It features many improvements – and of course more than a little GG flair. The BAR-5200 is constructed from 500 denier Cordura Nylon with reinforcing on the […]

The Griff Pack from Grey Ghost Gear: Subtle and bad to the bone

The Griff Pack from Grey Ghost Gear: Subtle and bad to the bone

The Griff Pack is named after an NCO that was killed in Tal Afar, Iraq in 2005. “Griff” was known as being tough, versatile, professional, and always with a trick up his sleeve – which is where the Grey Ghost Gear backpack draws its design cues. This is a subtle looking bag that doesn’t draw unnecessary attention, but it […]

Hex Wet/Dry Surf Backpack: An all weather solution to a daypack

Hex Wet/Dry Surf Backpack: An all weather solution to a daypack

I use a backpack of some sort almost every day. Whether it be packing up to go to work, a road trip, air travel, or military purposes. The Hex wet/dry pack is one of the more unique and quality bags I’ve encountered.  The features of this bag are endless. For starters, it is a sleek […]

Photo of the day: MUUL RuckBucket, When is the last time you broke a bucket? Never

The Muul RuckBucket is truly one of the more unique and versatile packs I’ve ever owned. It is a combination of a backpack and cooler, but with a core feature that sets it apart from similar products — a 5-gallon bucket inside. This provides added durability and protection for the contents of the pack. Contents are crushproof, […]

Deuter Speedlite 20: The adventure go-bag turned mobile office

Deuter Speedlite 20: The adventure go-bag turned mobile office

I have a lot of bags, probably more than most people. Most of it is due to my job, but some have also been personal purchases. I’ve tested many bags over the years and have my favorites. One thing I have come to accept is that there is no one bag for everything, but I’ve […]

Deuter XV 3 Rolltop Athletic Daypack

Deuter XV 3 Rolltop Athletic Daypack

I’m one of those guys that are usually drawn to the heavy, overbuilt, tactical looking packs. When I got my hands on the Deuter XV3 Daypack, my view that “lightweight carry” meant “weak” completely changed. For one, this pack is one of the most comfortable packs that I have ever carried; and I have carried multiple different […]

Photo of the day: 5.11 AMP72 as an SBR backpack

Every company wants to make a splash during SHOT Show. 5.11 really knocked it out of the park this year, not only debuting some excellent looking new products, but also hosting a media event where we got to meet some of the product designers and hear their thought process on design features. One such impressive […]
