This is one of the larger deployment bags out of the manufacturers. I have deployed with a 'less than satisfactory' bag before and had it fail on me. It was a waste of time and money. Before I bought my next one I researched quite a few, wanting to find the 'all-in-one' bag. Having used other 5.11 products before, the only thing I was originally hesitant about was the price. As with most things in this line of work; buy once, cry once.. This bag already has many miles on it and shows practically no signs of wear. The built in hard case in the lower section of the bag is absolutely outstanding considering some of the places the bag goes and keeps sensitive items safe. It is a little heavy when empty, obviously only getting heavier when adding things like body armor and other necessities. Especially with all the room the bag has to offer, it is really easy to pack quite a few things in there and exceed the standard weight limits.. Just something to keep in mind. Overall, it is a great bag and based on my purchase a few guys on my team have bought it as well and their's have held up just as well.
