Any one use the maxpedition jumbo? - Page 4

Tin Bender · June 3rd, 2007, 10:58 AM

I've read a few reports about the Fatboy and the only concern was that the carry strap may be too short for someone 5' 10" or taller.
Also, after looking at the Maxpedition catalog, a right and left version may be different because of the cell phone pouch. I would like to have Maxpedition resolve this for me. Also the main compartment buckle is about half the size of the Jumbo version.
I would suggest getting the short and long malice clips for modular attachments.
My Jumbo Versipack was a very good purchase. I am very happy with the quality and value.

Oh...I didn't know any of that. Of course, as my wife is 5'3" tall, that doesn't seem like a problem. Does the smaller buckle work better or worse for anyone?

I'll bet the buckle is really no issue or Maxpedition would resolve any issues as such. Just personal preference.
Your wife may want to look at the THERMITE VERSIPACK by Maxpedition. It is a waist carry OR a shoulder carry. From what I can see you would be wise to purchase a padded strap with it. This will probably be one of my next toys.
Maxpeditions web site has some terrific pictures of their customers and various usages. I especially enjoy seeing our troops using these products. Take a look.

Thanks. I already purchased the Fatboy, so we'll see how that works before I buy a Thermite. Let me know how you like it when you get yours.

Thermite is out of my plans.
It has no provision for CARRY .
I've used my JUMBO for three days in this North Texas Town and no one even looked. It appears like a tool belt over the shoulder.
I'm getting it rigged out with my gear.
Today I got my FENIX P3D light. AWSOME Light!
The Jumbo or the Fat Boy will work for anyone.
This is really gonna cost me. LoL

Purchased the versipack, seemed too small. Bought the JUMBO for myself, give the little woman the other one. Both are like new..
except for the missing tags.She hasn't touched hers,,probably forgot about it.

I thought that I would use mine (black) alot, but this hasn't been the case. Neat pockets and zippers..but even after adding the cell phone pouch..it just lays in the corner.

I'm on a work trip and I have been using my Jumbo daily...its a great bag, i've had a few people including an airline captain and a few CBP officers ask me where I got it and how much. I got a lil static from the guys at work about carrying a "man purse"...they just don't get it though.

Tell the GUY'S at work to look at the Guest Photos at

www.maxpedition.com

I'm sure OUR GUY'S at work in the Sand Box would love to have a piece of that action. I now have the Jumbo , the Fatboy , and the Neatfreak. By far the Jumbo is the best value IMO.
Thanks and look at the photos at Maxpedition.
