Tactical 5.11 Versatility Patrol Ready Bag - Gear Review (PICS & VIDEO)

This is another review of my 5.11 Patrol Bag, this is a great versatile patrol bag which comes at extremely competitive price, especially for something 5.11 branded. I picked up the bag from Amazon for approximately $50 delivered which again, is highly competitive for a top line brand. The bag is 600 denier nylon which is also water resistant (although never personally tested.) I've been using this bag daily for approximately 6 months, it features; outer water bottle holders, admin pouch (inner and outer) baton holder, padded back for weapon protection, and many more features that will be covered in the video review.

The 5.11 Patrol Bag is also the perfect size for most passenger seats and one can use the shoulder strap to secure the bag to the passenger seat. The contents of this bag are used purely for work patrol purposes, so I carry no extra ammo or tactical equipment in it, all of that is featured on my patrol vest and active shooter vest.

The main drawback of this bag, in my opinion, is the lack of specific pouches for a flashlight and collapsible baton which can be found on Hatch Patrol Bag. This makes holding sensitive items such as this more secure and easy to locate rather then digging around the main section of the bag trying to locate items such as this.
