Thanks for the input, i will incorporate wearing the gear more on future gear reviews

Thanks

I would definitely go with the color you want even though it’s more expensive. I doubt you will notice the extra money spent but you may regret the color especially if you use it often.

For paper 8.5x11 would fit but not nicely. If you want to keep it flat, probably the biggest you can put would be 7x10.

@Everydaymilitary thanks that helps

I don’t have that exact camera but looking at it, it would fit but not nicely. The internal organization of the bag is not setup for a camera like that. Have you looked at the Wandrd Rogue? It is a sling bag made for a camera. Im trying out their 9L as an EDC. I will put out a review once i get a good feel for the pack.

@@Everydaymilitary thank you. Good to know. I almost bought that exact same bag because they are having a clearance sale on that color. Thanks again for checking.

@@Everydaymilitary I have looked at the rogue but I don’t want a bag that looks like a camera bag.

I bought it a while ago but now it shows unavailable. But here is the link to the one I bought.

Thanks, I’ll find something similar, but never thought a water bottle on the side, great idea. I’m having issues of carrying it so minimal it’s not worth bringing all the way to loading it with all the essentials that I might as well just stuck with a backpack or messenger bag. You run into that dilemma with this size?

@@jd3224I definitely had issues with the size. I had to really decrease what i carry. I had a lot more stuff in my Vertx Ready pack but i ended up leaving that in the car most of the time bc felt it to big for most places. Now with less stuff, I carry it more places.

@@jd3224right now i am also trying out the 5.11 skyweight sling bag. Its a little bigger, (10L vs 8L) im going to post a video on it once i get a good feel for it.

It is possible to attach to a molle backpack with clips or carabiners but I don’t think it would be practical. It doesn’t have the traditional molle attachment points on the outside and i feel it is to big.

That makes sense. But for me, i would use the lv8 as edc and when. Transitioning from office, to outings eith family i just attach and detach instead refilling bag constantly. Also carry both bags as one when in office. I prefer the size to fit a tablet for future. I currently use a foldable phone, so lv6 or smaller edc wont work. I would have to be creative with attaching to backpack. I dont want a tactical admin pouch either. The lv8 would cover up the molle on my backpack

When I first got it, i felt the color made it look purse like. It’s a darker blue but stands out at the same time, its kind of hard to explain. Maybe like a little darker color of Lowes 5 gallon bucket.

Super super ugly color its horrible

@@Everydaymilitarythe colors you added to it just makes it worse

I wonder if 5.11 will restock the other colours.

@@sheikhawie 511 customer service emailed me saying black will be back in stock by the end of May 2024.

Your standard ipad would be the biggest, so an 11 inch tablet. With that said, only if the pack is not stuffed. Having too much stuff in the pack changes the internal shape of the ipad area and makes it difficult to put one in even if there is room.

The ipad 11 pro will fit as well as any 11 inch tablet. It fits good if the bag is not stuffed. The more stuff you put in the bag, especially in the little pockets, changes the shape of the tablet compartment and makes it harder to fit in.
