Ding! Ding! New Email From: Rave Alert Subject: SWAT Callout group Content: All SWAT members respond to the PD for manhunt of a suspect who shot at PD Officer. Response: Hell yeah! I was sitting at home waiting for this email to come. You see, one of our Officers made a routine traffic stop and […]
The market is saturated with day packs. With so many to choose from it can at times be difficult for a company to stand out with a product. Cannae comes to the scene with the Legion Elite Day Pack which stands out in several unique ways that I found particularly useful. Even though this pack has some very specific […]
Being an avid hiker as well as a writer for The Loadout Room, I’ve had the opportunity to test out a variety of unique backpacks. Rockagator brings another one to the table with their Rockagator Hydric Series Original Waterproof Backpack. The premier feature and ultimate sales pitch behind this bag is its waterproofness, warranting an in-depth breakdown in this review. […]
The Solo Black Ops Altitude Backpack is a fashionable yet durable pack for EDC. I have never heard of Solo New York gear until receiving this pack. After doing a little bit of digging, they started developing items ranging from backpacks to tablet cases to briefcases in 2008 with a style and functionality inspired by the streets […]
5.11 Tactical is one of the leading and most recognizable manufacturers of tactical gear. One of their fan favorites is their Rush series of backpacks. 5.11 currently offers their Rush backpacks in three different sizes: Rush 12, Rush 24, and Rush 72. While I don’t have any hands-on experience with the 12 or 72, I have owned […]

More space is better was my general approach when I was carrying a pack in the Marines. I wanted the ability to carry more when necessary and didn’t mind toting a half-empty pack. I stubbornly kept that idea as I became a civilian and always went big. This creates some interesting excursions when you move […]
I use the SwissGear 1900 bag for my EDC use. I prefer the gray man approach for daily use, which is why I use this bag over others. The bag doesn’t scream “tactical” and it’s very well-built. It’s TSA approved for scanning laptops while in the bag and it can also hold most full-size tablets. […]
Osprey is a technical pack manufacturer whose roots trace back to 1974. Osprey has produced quality packs for decades and has now established itself as one of the premier leading manufacturers in the outdoors industry. These days you won’t be able to hike a trail anywhere without seeing someone rocking an Osprey on their back. One […]
I always find it an interesting study when a company is named after something historical, whether a person or a group. Sometimes it’s a catchy gimmick, sometimes it’s a true ethos that the brand lives and dies by. In this case, today’s review item is the Cannae Sarcina Rally Pack. The company name takes its […]
