maxpedition versi packs

[spiritwalker]

Has anyone got one ive been looking at them online for an EDC daywalk type bag rather than a backpack but im keen to see if people have one what they think and how much gear you can cram into them as i dont know a shop nearby that sells them to have a look at. I have the response pack and the truth is i dont like it as the belt comes loose especially when loaded and with my crusader kit attached. Is the versipack big enough to hold a brew kit set up?

If anyone has any loadout pics of one id love to see them to get a feel for their size etc...

thanks in advance.

Not used mine for day walks but fit an iPad 8x42 binos as well as my kindle in main compartment of mine. Can see a brew kit fitting in easily enough guess it depends of you're carrying the teapot

was thinking perhaps my crusader kit or swedish army trangia plus a few bits and bobs to make a brew?

I've got a few of them.
Two Jumbos and a Mongo.
I can get a MiTi Mug in the bottle pocket with a nalgene in it.
A crusader mug would fit inside, but it wouldn't fit in the bottle holder.
I use one of mine as a bimble bag, with mug/bottle/pocket stove, etc.
It's usually got a firelighting kit, first aid kit, secateurs, folding saw, trowel, brew kit, a couple of folding kuska, and other assorted odds and ends.

Here's mine with my Hobo Stove.

I've already got a sabrecat...
Sorry.

I am a MaxP addict and I haven't bought a bag today....

Don't you need two. One for the front and another at the back.
Is it in green?

Trust you've seen the orange/foilage ones going on amazon for 30 odd quid?

I ordered one of those last month and received the black/khaki one by mistake. I smiled

It's a great bag and frankly, I wish I'd bought one sooner. My only gripe is that it's a bit 'stiff' but I'm sure that'll go with age.

i picked up a green one was going to get a khaki one but i found the green one £20 cheaper so it was a no brainer, first looks on it are good just need to load it up sits nice on the shoulder too.

Where did you get it from matey.

I own several maxp bags including a falcon2, Kodiak, colossus, janus, and a few pouches.
my crusader set will fit inside the falcon2 and the main compartment of the Kodiak with room to spare.

before you buy a bag, I recommend that you figure out what you need to carry and place the stuff into a plastic bag and tie it shut.
go into the store with the bag, and ask if you can stuff the plastic bag inside the maxped bag.

if you're just going to pack a few things, you could probably get away with a Kodiak or falcon2, and have a bit more room.

paid about £60 from outdoor gb with next day delivery...

Did they say they had it in stock or not? Currently not in stock.
Kind of tempted but I'm not sure how orange it will be.

I've been wanting one of these for ages. Struggling to find one cheaper than £70. I'd happily have the orange for £30 but they're out of stock. Seems daft paying an extra £40 to get a different colour. Does anyone know the difference between the 9inch and the 3.5 litre? Seems a bit odd having two different units of measurement for the different models.

I think the difference in the 3.5 lt and the 9 inch is different companies ways of talking about the same product.

 

[spiritwalker]

out of interest you can fit the swiss army trangia set in the main compartment and i have the GSI bottle in the side pouch so im chuffed with mine as i have an odd shaped back when it comes to daysacks when i get my main pc fixed or my camera working on my macbook ill upload some snaps.

Yeah, it was definitely in stock, but that was over a month ago
