Maxpedition Proteus Versipack (Khaki)

I have upper back, neck, and shoulder problems carrying heavy packs in army. So I wear butt packs. I needed a new EDC for walks six miles in length, sometimes ten. It holds enough stuff for my purpose. Any bigger and would be a small back pack, it has a small lip area to place larger items in. So it’s difficult utilizing all the space. It has a lot of space in big compartment. No pressure on my back injuries and after the second time on a 6 mile journey. I barely notice the bag on back. It has a very comfortable design. Bag feels super thick, and has a waterproofing Teflon spray applied. Water beads up and rolls off. The product does well in the humid conditions in Charleston.

I use mine as a work bag, holds my gloves, wallet, keys, cordage, emergency medical, and water as well. I see what people meant about the opening of the main compartment, but its really not that big of a deal; its a durable bag, force your junk into it. Great purchase.

A butt pack yea BUT can be used as a sling bag , toiletry bag , or a lunch bag . which is what i use it for . i got some straps and hooked it on to my Rush24 EDC bag ,on the admin area , being a heavy equipment operator sometimes my bag is too big inside cabs . so when that happens unhook this bad boy and take it with me to make sure i have something to eat .Also i put in a minimal survival kit in it, feels very sturdy i know it will last . Awesome little bag

I appreciate every thing about this gear. The zippers are quality. The stitching appears well done. This is my EDC. It replaces a 10-year-old fanny pack. I am very well pleased. It has a lot of hiking ahead of it. We shall see how the Proteus Versipack holds up.

Of the small items that I need to carry for doing photography. I owned one of these years ago when it first came out and it was totally unsuited to my needs back then but now it's the perfect solution to my problem. When I go storm chasing in the summer, I lug around my photography equipment but it's a pain to have to keep running back to the van for a doodad that I need right then and there. Lost some good shots last year because of this. Not this year! In one side pocket I keep my entire lens cleaning kit, from Lenspen to cloths to lens cleaning fluid and Q-tips. In the other side pocket I keep my spare battery and remote control. The front pocket carries the directions for the lightning trigger and any other small notes in the back panel pocket, my earbuds go in one small pocket and my bluetooth headset in the other. In front of that goes my phone. The main compartment holds a Tim Bihn pouch filled with necessities...a small can of bug spray, a pack of tissues, dental floss, my pill case and so on. There is also room to hold a Kindle Paperwhite in an Omoton case and my Sony camcorder. Attached to one of the shoulder strap D-rings is a pocket LED flashlight. I took it out on my first photo shoot this weekend and it did the trick without getting in the way...I drove with it on my waist and it was fine. And I am not a small man. It is rain resistant, which is perfect for storm chasing and it's lightweight enough to not be noticeable on the go. Highly recommended for those small items you need to have with you when you are out and about...organizes much better than pockets do and has that military look to it so you don't have to worry so much about the social stigma against men wearing "fanny packs." It's not a fanny pack, it's a tactical gear bag!

Long time fan of maxpidition I have a vulture 2 I shot that bag with a 2200 psi pressure washer only the moly got wet. Only thing I have found that's better is eberlystock. This pack is tough as nails, I use it for an ammo bag on shooting days and edc on work days. love it

This bag is deceptive. You can fit a LOT of stuff into this ... even if it might be a bit tricky to get the stuff out. Zips are tough, but stiff. When the waist band is stowed (and it does this very well) some of the internal flexibility is lost ... be nice if it detached. It does not come with a shoulder strap, although they are available.Definitely glad to have it. Compact gear or range bag, ultimate fanny pack.What fits in? For target shooters: a full brick of .22 (3 left,3 right, 4 inside). 3 small bottles of lubes, 2 boresnakes, spare optics batteries, target stickers, silicone rag, assorted small tools ... and at least 100 rnds of .38 or 9mm. If you shoot reasonably serious bullseye, etc. you'll have a hard case for the hardware. I got tired of lugging a range bag that was turning into an attic. This thing is perfect. Adding a J anus tomorrow for goggles and more.Obviously, your personal luggage needs may vary. Might take a few practice runs to get everything just right ... But you will.
