Tactical Patrol Bag

Works like it should, wish had more Velcro sections or smaller ones! But does do it job and it works!

This is my third bag purchase of the specific company. The quality is always amazing and the bad just gets better and better here. It is of me using it in my work truck tons of space love the design love the Velcro that allows me to add my patches love the pockets inside allows me to put my water hats and any other center material such as my laptop with ease. Also at the end of the week I’m able to unhook it and fold it up within 10 seconds and take it inside. This bag is rugged and durable and just simply amazing. Can’t wait for a new release. I definitely am a lifetime buyer.

My instincts told me that this was copied from a bag made for professionals with inferior materials at a much less standard of quality. If you bought a range bag or a camera bag and this is what you received you would return it. Because were used to a certain level of quality in those items and this one just doesn’t measure up. Yeah the design is awesome and there are 1 million pockets but the bag itself is just not that well-made and there are some other issues which I will go over . It comes with one long divider and three short dividers for the main compartment. Except there is no Velcro on the inside front of the bag so nothing to attach the dividers to. In addition the Velcro pieces are very short which only gives you an option to attach them very near the center of the back. The dividers are also flimsy and overall the bag just lacks significant padding. I work with first responders and I’ve seen their bags and this is not it. This is a home household emergency go bag and for that it might do the trick but the divider situation just really annoyed me. There are plenty of organizational pockets and loops and clips in this bag it actually boggles the mind. If they just made it with a bit more attention to detail it would be stunning. Some of the straps are sewn on single stitching with some loose threads and I seriously doubt they’re strong enough to hold up the bag once it’s filled up with equipment. Especially that mesh pocket that attaches to the lid. There’s a picture showing it hanging from the back of a car seat from the mesh pocket. I don’t think that’s going to happen with this. The bag is flimsy and does not hold it shape it depends on the fold down main compartment panel and it really won’t stay square until you stuff it full of stuff. Unlike a range bag that’s well-made that will basically stay in a rectangular block. This is somewhat formless when empty. I don’t mind so much but every first responder bag I’ve seen is more rigid than this. No the price is a factor because it’s not that expensive for a bag but even so the thin nylon in the thin straps are just not impressing me. But is it fair to compare it to a $200 range back? But then I’ve seen range bags for half of that that are much more impressive than this . A lot of this are expectations based on the listing itself. I feel like they are over promising somewhat in their advertising and perhaps they could more realistically manage the can customers expectations and that by itself might earn it a star back. But the divider situation is really annoying and the quality of those dividers I are thin.. Still I will find a way to make use of this thing even if it’s just for a bunch of larger power outage type items. It will be easy to find in the dark with it’s reflective strips. Or maybe make it a miscellaneous junk bag for stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else. It is it’s OK for a household item but I wouldn’t even take this to the gun range. And I certainly wouldn’t depend upon it for critical situations.

Was going to crack a joke about it being smaller than it looked in the pictures, and how it reminds me of the feedback I got from my Tinder date, but I'll refrain. LoL. I've had and still have other bags like this, and just had the expectation that it would be of similar size. It's maybe a half, or even a quarter the size of the others I've seen or had. It is of better quality than the others. I can tell there was a little more thought and effort out into this one, being designed for a police department who probably gave a bunch of input on how they wanted it. I'm not a police officer, but I test, collect, and play with a lot of tactical gear. A lot of the same, or similar gadgets and tools, and can imagine what kind of space it takes up. To me, this looks more like a small range bag, gym bag, camera bag, something like that. If you're an actual police officer, or just someone who wants a tactical bag designed for cars, and you're also taking it in and out of the car, and carrying it around, this could be ideal for you, as kong as you don't have too much gear/clothing/whatever to fit into it. I personally got this as an emergency power and light bag. I thought the neon/reflective stripes would make it easier to find in a power outage. I have a much bigger patrol bag like this, bursting at the seams with power banks, batteries, battery chargers, solar chargers, etc. But it's usually buried somewhere, and pitch black. So, I wanted this one more accessible and visible. I suppose I can just continue using the other bag for the bulk of it, and just put all the best stuff I would most likely use, in this one. Might even turn out for the better, because it's easier to grab and lift. The other one is super heavy, and if there's anything stacked around or over it (like there will usually be, in the room it's in), it can be hard to get. So that's it. The only major con to it, is the size. You might WANT a smaller bag, so it might not apply to you. I can't complain about the materials, and zippers seem decent. But, at this price range (and size), I think I'd like to see some 1000D Cordura, and YKK zips, at least. Other than that, it's a step or two above most other law enforcement marketed bags, as far as quality. I'll give it that.

This is pretty much exactly as hoped. But be clear exactly what this is for. It's not a duffle, it's just a portable front seat organizer. This is not intended to hold your weapons, large tools, large gear. It's mostly small flat pockets and small loops. It's for clipping on small tools, flashlights, etc (or attaching smaller molle ditty bags). There are no instructions, so look closely at the photos when unpacking. You may learn some uses that you hadn't thought about. I wish they had a video that explained all the possible configurations. This is great for contractors, home inspectors, all sorts of uses beyond first responders. The main compartment is very clever - it comes with a primary divider (divides it in half), and 3 smaller dividers. All are velcro, arrange as needed or don't use at all. One of the photos shows a molle bag (with a flag) that is NOT included. The reflective strips are removable. It has a slot in the back for your seat belt to pass through. It also has a clear window on the back for your ID. Build quality is great. Heavy duty materials, good stitching. They say it will hold 100 pounds, and I don't doubt that at all. I only have two complaints. First, the it doesn't hold it's shape great. If the main compartment is full, it keeps its shape fine, unless you have too much weight in the side or top pockets. I actually cut a piece of cardboard to help reinforce the bottom, which helps, although cardboard isn't ideal. Second, there aren't a lot of medium sized pockets. For things without a clip (like my headlamp, a roll of tape, etc), there aren't a lot of options aside from the main pocket. There are 2 medium mesh pockets on top. There is a zippered pocket in the back of the main compartment, which is intended for flat documents. And there are some medium slots in the front compartment, but everything there also needs to be relatively flat. So this is really intended for tools you can clip on the outside, or get a molle ditty bag. Overall though I love it. I'm not going to complain too much about the lack of medium sized pockets, I'll figure out how to customize it. My only significant complaint is the bottom needs additional reinforcement, which is a fairly easy DIY fix. 4.5 stars.

I have a variety of bags that I use when I need to be discreet with my photography. This bag looks nothing like a camera bag, and the reflective tapes give folks the impression that you may be on the job, and give you space. I take it through crowds, and folks give me room. The organization is the best part, however. I can pack just about everything that I need for an onsite production shoot, and fit all of it in this bag. Seriously, it holds all of my different kinds of cables, cards, accessories, chargers, and so on and they all have their own designated slot or pouch.When I'm at a studio, I can hang it from a clothes rod, unzip it and all of my stuff is sitting right there without any searching or scrounging. If you need to put out that subtle give-me-space-vibe, then use this!

Nicely designed for use as a patrol bag in the front passenger seat of a police car – but it also makes a good range bag. Overall it’s well made, although they did cut corners in a few spots on fabric quality and stitching accuracy. I’ve never seen so many compartments, pockets and MOLLE attachment points. You can find a spot to stow anything and everything in this bag. It would benefit from a firmer floor insert for the bottom of the main compartment. (I’ll be making one out of a piece of Masonite, although you could opt for heavy cardboard instead.) Overall, a nice, versatile gear bag.

So this patrol bag almost fit everything I need to carry for patrol. It is on the small side of bags, but sometimes compact is good. Now I took into consideration, I work for a smaller department. That means, I have to do all my investigations, evidence collection, accident reports, traffic enforcement, parking complaints, and so on. I don't have other divisions in my department like detectives, or reconstruction specialists, we each have to do it all. So I carry a few more items than most patrol officers do in larger departments, that have the manpower for special divisions. I've found for my needs a backpack works best. I can carry everything I need, grab it and go. Now I do carry a lot of my evidence collection grear in the back of the patrol unit in a storage tub. But in our small town, I can go from a domestic, to jump starting a heart, to changing a tire, and roping in the horse that got loose for the 20th time. So this bag would be perfect if all I did was patrol, or a specialization, such as accident reconstruction, or detective. So this bag doesn't exactly work for me, but it does give me additional space to organize some of the gear I keep in the trunk and it will come in handy. As for the construction of the bag it is well thought out for patrol officers. I was actually surprised at how much I could fit into the bag, although not everything is in there, most of it is.
