All,

LA Police Gear is selling these backs for $29.95 or so currently. $30 off list. I went ahead and ordered one because my laptop bag has a strap going south and figured what the hecks, it is halp the price of other backpacks this size so give it a shot.

 

Well it arrived the other day and I was totally impressed. Cordura is heavy duty and strong. Molle straps cover it for added attachment from maxpedition or makers. Bag has two external pockets one large pocket inside and a smaller pocket stitched inside. I was going away for a few days so I instantly unloaded my 20year old Gregory 3-day bag and loaded this one up. Very comfortable to carry loaded up, nice strong straps and waist belt.

 

Anyway... I will turn this into a computer case (my work laptop is HUGE because of the graphics requirements I have) and I am going to order another one for travel. If you need a bag... I highly recommend this one.

Another member here bought one as well. i want to see it before I grab one.

Does it have a sleeve for a laptop? Is it a really fat backpack (as in, does it stick way out behind you)?

any way you can see if a welding helmet will fit comfortably in this bag, with room to spare........

Do you know where it is manufactured?

Do you know where it is manufactured?

China.

 

I have one of these coming on Tuesday. I have some of their Bail Out Bags that I use as mini-range bags on occasion, and I figured for 30 bux I'd give this one a try. Not expecting Maxpedition quality, but for a "toss it around and not care if it gets beat up" bag, it seems like it'll do the job.

Nevermind - my GF just got me an even better backpack for Xmas....

It is made in China... I think it would fit a welders helmet.... it does not have a sleeve for laptops, I have a envelope already for mine. It sticks out back more then side to side.

Thanks for the review, I've eyed these for a while and they sound like a great deal. I have three of the small ($19) range bags and they are very well made (one is used for IDPA days the others hold emergency stuff in the cars.) I'm not fond of sending money to China like that, but it's hard to find U.S. made gear that I can afford. Even my Maxpedition Monsoon Gearslinger is made in Taiwan (but at least not mainland China.)
