EDC Shoulder Bag/Versipack

[MultipleParadox]

Hey guys, as title says, I'm looking to change my current messenger bag (Oakley laptop bag, not used for laptop carry anymore).

I was wondering if anyone would have suggestion about a nice looking, "tactical" bag that doesn't scream gun nuts either, if you see what I mean :P

I was browsing Airsoftpeak as I'm about to order a small trinket from them, and saw their Phantom Colossus Versipack (a repro of the Maxpedition's one I reckon) for about 80$ (130-140$ for the maxpedition's). Anyone have experience with these?

Long story short I'm in need of recommendations/advice/suggestions. I'm mainly looking for something relatively low profile. I don't have tons of stuff to carry: some small electronics/chargers, too much keys on my keychain, wallet, sunglass case, etc.

I think any tactical bag in black or tan is good enough not to scream military/gun nut.. most people don't know what molle is, but they know what camo is. That bag looks rather large, but I don't know what you're carrying.

5.11 just came out with a messenger bag: http://www.511tactical.com/All-Produ...very-LIMA.html

it's not too tactical looking but has loooped velcro strapping that doubles as molle. comes in 3 sizes mike, lima, xray.

I love my Evolution Gear 'Street Fighter' bag for a quick mission when I can't be bothered with a vest... and I use it for day-to day stuff.

The Shadow bag seems a bit bigger but doesn't have the quick mag pouches.

I bought the evolution shadow bag from LBT to replace my laptop bag. It's cheaper direct from London bridge trading and to be quite honest, you are guaranteed that the goods are legit and the LBT warranty.

Just a quick on the Maxpedition Colossus. Great bag but sized like it's supposed to hold a DSLR with a long lens. Too big/tall for my 131lb 5'5" frame. Ultimately sold it off and now regularly use a Jumbo Versipack instead (the version that allows you to carry a Nalgene/water bottle on one side). Try to find a brick & mortar store to try it out.

I'd throw the Mystery Ranch Outsider in the mix, but it is a fairly large shoulder bag. I like it, but it's a little big for what I use it for.

I am a fan of Hazard 4, sling and messenger bags. Very durably good organization etc. Can be picked up at urbantactical in Brantford or online at Everydaycarry.com

YEs a bit pricey, but worth it

Late reply:

After watching a few reviews and what not I ended up getting a Maxpedtion Jumbo Versipac LEO edition

Gotta say I love it; great construction, and design is perfect for my needs. Definitely happy with this (My GF is not because it looks a bit too military-ish but that's another story )

Thanks for all your advices
