    Default Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack

    I was wondering if anyone uses the "Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack"? What do you think of it.

    I have the jumbo versa and the regular. I like them both. I use the regular versa more than my jumbo. If you get one, make sure you order the correct model for right or left carry.

    I have one for about a year now and use it as a tote bag for all my junk. I had used a simple book type back pack but it lacked adequate support and cubbie holes. However, it was a lot less tactical looking than the Jumbo. I got the tan color as I thought it may be less tactical looking than the other colors available.

    It is one tough bag and holds a great deal of stuff. I don't back pack so I don't carry a water bottle in that space but it does handle a Heinnie can pot really well. I like to carry several different knives while on vacation/trips as well as tools in case I need them to fix something. I carry one fixed blade, a Buck Knighthawk, which my son gave me as a present. While I own several other fixed blades, I take that one for that reason.

    I added a Janus to the strap so that I could keep my small camera and accessories in it and it is always handy but protected. Being able to tote a pistol with additional magazines is also a great feature.

    The only thing the back pack is better at is when out and about visiting a town and shopping. You can carry some important items that you like to keep with you but also have room to store purchased items. I found that important when on a cruise to Alaska. The book bag held our purchases easily until we returned to the ship in the evening. The Jumbo just doesnt' have as much space but it is a different animal, right tool for the right job I guess.

    Hoped this helped, it is worth the money.

    Several years ago my wife bought this shoulder bag similar to the jumbo pack. After a time she got tired of it and was going to throw it away. My trapping partner and I looked at each other and when the wife went in the house he snatched it before I could.

    Now he has a really awesome snare bag.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    I have one of each. I mostly use the Fatboy. The reason is that I carry a lot of my inspection tools in it (along with my ccw). With the Jumbo I can fit a lot more into it and carry a water bottle, but with the added weight if I'm going to be wearing it awhile I use the belt snap so that not all of the weight is on my shoulder for an extended period. If rarely use the belt snap on the Fatboy. Remember they come in S type or regular (left or right carry).
