Figured I'd ask you fine folks here in the about this, didn't think it fell elsewhere…
I have, a TSSI Tacops M-9 Assault Medical Pack, a gift from a friend who's former military. I love it, I love how compact it is, and how much I can stuff into it, but mostly how durable it is. It was field used before it was passed to me, and I've dragged it daily for years as my everyday bag, to work, to grad school, to job sites all over the country, filled or adorned with tools, laptop, iPad, paperwork, site PPE gear, pens, pencils, sharpies, phone chargers, etc, and it's just keeps going with minimal wear. It also fits neatly under the seat of most planes, so I can easily carry it on, sometimes with no extra fees.
Recently, I've upgraded my laptop, and it does not fit into my M-9 pack. Because that is an essential pack of my daily kit, I've been on the search for a comparable quality Molle Bag with a bit more space. I tried the root of picking something up at the local Army Surplus store, but the quality isn't there. The bag I tried swapping over to has had every zipper break on every pocket within the last few months, so it nothing stays securely closed. I can get them to zip shut sometimes, other time they pop back open.
That said, looking for recommendations on a bag, I like the Molle style bags, because in addition to storing stuff inside, I often snap on other tool pouches or hang items like hard hats, or radios on the outside, so I'd like to stick with that style of bag, just something bigger than the M-9, but similar in quality.
Thanks for any help!
