Hot on the heels of the release of the Maxpedition Active Shooter Bag series, Maxpedition has released another variant of the Jumbo versipack based on feedback of hundreds of law enforcement officers.

The most obvious changes are external: the water bottle pocket has been removed and replaced by a general utility pouch with external PALS webbing, and the standard small pouch has been replaced with velcro lidded pouch with lateral elastic retention.  This pouch can be used to carry a radio, or can act as a dual AR-15 / M16 / M4 magazine pouch, capable of handling any standard 30 round STANAG magazine or the popular Magpul P-MAG. In addition, a grab handle has been added to the top lid pocket.

Less obvious are the other differences; the bag material has been changed to PU-coated  800d nylon for lighter weight; a pouch  capable of holding a 5″ phone has been added, the HK-style snap hook has been replaced with a closed D ring loop, and the belt attaching loop on the back has been replaced with a removable waist-strap.

No word at this time if there will be a S-Type version of the Jumbo LEO Versipack.

Available in the following colors:

• Maxpedition 9846B Jumbo LEO Law Enforcement Officer Versipack – Black (part #: MAX-9846B)
• Maxpedition 9846G Jumbo LEO Law Enforcement Officer Versipack – OD Green (part #: MAX-9846G)
• Maxpedition 9846K Jumbo LEO Law Enforcement Officer Versipack – Khaki (part #: MAX-9846K)

Maxpedition has come out with a lighterweight version of their ever-popular Jumbo 0412 Versipack series, with a number of changes based on user feedback.  The first thing you’ll notice about the 9845 Jumbo EDC is the lighter weight; instead of the standard 1000D Cordura, the Jumbo EDC is made with PU-coated 800 denier nylon fabric, leading to a net 15% weight reduction.  The belt attachment loop has been removed, and replaced by a waist strap with side release buckle.  A grab handle has been added to the top-of-lid pocket as well, a much needed improvement in my book.

At this time, we do not know if if there is going to be an EDC version of the Jumbo S-Type models.

The Maxpedition 9845 Jumbo EDC Every Day Carry series is available in the following configuriations:

• Maxpedition 9845B Jumbo EDC Every Day Carry Versipack – Black (part #: MAX-9845B)
• Maxpedition 9845G Jumbo EDC Every Day Carry Versipack – OD Green (part #: MAX-9845G)
• Maxpedition 9845K Jumbo EDC Every Day Carry Versipack – Khaki (part #: MAX-9845K)

All three colors are available for pre-order at $60.99.

Maxpedition has released 2 new products aimed at law-enforcement and casual shooters – the Active Shooters Bag series.  Designed as a “bare essentials” bag, it’s available in two style: Magazine Front (9833 models) and PALS Webbing Front (9844 Models)

Designed in collaboration with Extreme Gear Labs, Maxpedition Active Shooter Bags are perfect for any situation where you may need to carry extra ammo and essential gear and have them accessible at a moments notice. This is a must-have in your vehicle just in case. Our active shooter bags are lined internally with loop field to accommodate any of our concealed carry, ammo, or admin accessories. There is also plenty of room for first aid and tactical supplies. Includes fully adjustable quick-release shoulder and waist straps to accomodate any body shape or size.

There are a lot of rifle bug-out bags on the market in a variety of configurations; the nice thing about these is that it pares down what you can carry to what you need and nothing else.  A pair of spare magazines for your rifle and pistol will cover just about all situations until help arrives. The velcro lined interior means you can mount a 3501 Universal Holster inside the bag and suddenly your bail out is greatly simplified: you grab your rifle, Active Shooter Bag, and get out of dodge.

Both models feature PALS webbing points on the sides for additional small pouches (perfect for lights, multitools, gps units, cell phone, water bottle holders etc).  If you just need a small, general purpose bag for your field tools, the PALS Webbing Model allows for unlimited flexibility – you can tailor the exterior with pouches containing your most used equipment. Purchase a few various PALS Webbing Adaptor (MAX-9482) patches and you can switch out your interior loadout as conditions change.
