5.11 Tactical RUSH MOAB 10 Backpack review

5.11 Tactical is one of the premier suppliers of clothing and equipment to Law Enforcement agencies in the US today. Their products include everything from uniforms to tactical items.

Below is my review of the smallest of the RUSH series of bags the RUSH MOAB 10. It is a ambidextrous sling style bag that is designed to be attached to the front of any of the other 5.11 RUSH series backpacks.





 This is the "COMS" pocket.
 
 Glasses pocket. I love this on the RUSH backpacks.
 Admin Pocket:

 Notice that the Velcro pockets can only be accessed from one side. So if you have this pack slung on your stomach you will not be able to access the items on the other side of the mesh pockets. The large zipper pocket that runs the length of the bag opens from both sides.

Maxpedition Mongo Versipack Review

Maxpedition Mongo

The Maxpedition Mongo is the largest of the Versipack series. I would compare this to a messenger style bag but is a little smaller. You can easily fit any tablet or small laptop in it. If the Jumbo is too small then this is the way to go.

I originally obtained this to use as my Diaper Bag which it was perfect for. I liked it so much that I now use it as my bag for work and carry it daily.




The color is a little off in this top pic.
