Maxpedition Jumbo Fatboy

[BIG-TARGET]

I GOT MY FATBOY!!! I GOT MY FATBOY!!!! I GOT MY FATBOY!!!!
I orginally ordered it in khaki( so as not to look like "Tactical Timmy"), but TAD GEAR was outof khaki. So I got the black.

In spite of the color ,she be a winner!!!! You can "haul the goods" with this baby!!

I just transfered all my goodies from the surplus british gasmask bag. And i have room left over in the fatboy.

And she is till ungoddly comfortable!!!
So if any of you still have any reticense on gettin the fatboy, get rid of your treppidations!!!!

GET IT!!!!!!

I've got the original Fatboy, in black too. I like it a lot but find it a tad small.

The Jumbo version looks like just the ticket.

My fatboy's only negative is it's black. And I've been trying not to look like "Tactical Timmy"

With a location like that B-T, might one enquire if it was a Frugal purchase

 

[Graham_S]

bought a velcro patch(mudflap girl & Tracker http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme gear/apparel main/patches.htm ), on the fatboy, to demilitarize it a bit

I have a few Maxpedition bag/pouches all good bits of kit. All of my stuff is green a little to green at first but after a few das out thay look ok

 

[Graham_S]

well i broke down and ordered one.
e-bay is evil.....
it's costing me around £40 delivered.
the clincher was the pocket that fits a nalgene bottle
and it's khaki too.

I saw the ones on Ebay. Are the S-type ones for south paws or at least south paw carry?

 

[Graham_S]

i think so. i'm not left handed but i think it'll suit me more for greneral use. i'm not planning to use it to carry a gun so it shouldn't matter

FYI, being bushcrafti, Don't forget!!!! A nalgene bottle fits inside a small 1 lb. coffee can. and the coffee can fits(though a little tight) in that pocket. and you can cook out of that coffee can!!!! :thinkerg:

Just add your favorite coffee or tea( green earl grey my favorite)in the bag with a spoon/spork,,,,,,,,,,Bon Appetit!!!!

I suppose I could grind the beans before I left (or slip my handgrinder in the bag)....Blue Mountain of course

seems like a lot of money to spend on a purse

[Graham_S]

tadpole, that's actually the one i bought

i'm sure i can fit my crusader cup/cooker in there somewhere and a bunch of other stuff besides.
the end pocket looks about the right size for my tinder kit. looking forward to getting it.

After reading MattW's comparison review over at BB.....

I bought a Jumbo Fatboy. I already had the standard version and considered it too small for most purposes. The Jumbo seems just about right...maybe a tad small. I have worn mine on both sides and it works either way. The only thing I wish it had was the black mesh padding on the back should be "sticky" so it would not swing forward as easily when you bend over. The velcro belt loop is nice to prevent this swing but I think sticky material would work well too.

Good bag....almost big enough

Several of the local cops are carrying it in my town as an "off-duty" bag with their heater in the accessory holster.

i've ordered a 750ml Ti mug from alpkit today. i'm hoping it'll fit in the pocket with the bottle.
£15 delivered.

 

[scanker]

It should do as the nalgene bottle is a snug fit inside the mug.

 

[Graham_S]

bit of an update.

got my jumbo fatboy today (d*mn customs)

great bit of kit.

unfortunately the mug doesn't fit in the nalgene pocket so there goes that plan

one thing i did discover though is the the velcro belt keeper on the body side of the pack is just the right size to go around the head of my GB SFA.
tried it out and it's not uncomfortable.
I've got my pocket first aid kit attached to one of the MOLLE strips with alice clips and the belt clip for my folding saw on one of the others.
looks like it's going to hold most of what i need.
there's even loops on the bottom i can attach a rolled poncho to

well recommended
