Anyone Familiar with Maxpedition Gear?
I like the looks of the Maxpedition Versipack Fatboy as a concealed carry option. I would also like something that doubles as a briefcase for my frequent airline trips. I'd love to replace my shoulder-crushing Swiss Army briefcase. I looked at the dimensions of the Fatboy and felt it looked a little tight for my smallish ThinkPad laptop plus cords, my Kindle, and my Bose headphones that I always carry on flights.
Do any of the Maxpedition sling styles double well for a briefcase with a laptop and my other gear? Thanks. |

You can get the kindle in it, but I doubt the LT will fit.

I am sure the Maxpedition makes something you can use...and their stuff looks top notch.

I've got a Max bag and it's held up well. I don't carry a gun in mine - why not a holster on the body?

My EDC rig is my Kimber Ultra CDP II in my SuperTuck. I sometimes use a Wild Bill's IWB clip.
I was looking for a saner way to tote my carry-on gear through the airport (sans firearm) and around town as well as having a good option for a bug-out bag or even a man-purse option for days I want to carry when I have other stuff to drag along. I like the sling concept, but I need something that can hold my laptop and cords as well as stuff I need on a plane like my headphones and Kindle. I want an all-purpose bag. I like the Maxpedition stuff, because I can also use use it for concealed carry at my destination or around town. |

I have the Jumbo its bigger than the Fatboy and I like it but it is to small for what you want.You might want to look at the Colossus but it is probably as heavy as what you already have.

I have a JUMBO that is my functional Bug Out Bag (BOB) which is full of that which I would need for my family and myself to survive (absent food and water) while on the road during a SHTF action. By that I mean ammo, trauma gear (bandages, kwik-klot, burn gel, etc) survival blanket/shelter, sunglasses, knives (3), magnesium bar for fire making, compass, para-cord, sunburn cream, and some other stuff. All in one bag with a very comfortable and sturdy strap. If something happens and I'm someplace away from my home (and central supplies) then I know I've given myself the best tools to do the job until I can get my family to a place of relative safety.
