GREAT REVIEW ! As an update, they now offer the ¨S¨ model in the LEO version. QUESTION for anyone who has a model with the ¨Water bottle¨ pouch, what else can / are you carrying in that pouch. Since I don´t use a water bottle due to weight (Water weight is 8.35lbs per gallon) was wondering what others are using that pouch for if not carrying a water bottle. THANKS !
Thanks for doing one-on-one comparisons. This is one of the best Maxpedition reviews on YouTube as a result. Please keep this style in future vids, it's really excellent!
Excellent overview. After using a B.O.B. from Diamondback Tactical for EDC for a while I started to see some of the benefits of carrying off of your body. If my bag ever wears out I'll definitely take a good look at these bags! Thanks for the great work.
It figuers the Mongo came out right after I got my jumbo. It looks like if it is not overweighted it could be the most versital EDC / get home bag yet. I will try it out and see how it does w/o my Janis pack attached Thanx monkey
Thanks dude. You rock, as usual. I'm very impressed with the Mongo. Funny about the drain grommet placement though. I mounted a kydex holster in my jumbo, so it is always fast draw and never collapses when replacing the weapon. I like the 1000 D Ballistic Nylon. Thats what hooked me in the first place. This stuff is built to last. Another informative video Mookie. Guess I'll get my order in for the Mongo. 5 starz bro.
Excellent video Monkey! Thanks for the video review, it was PERFECT! It sealed the deal on my ordering of a Mongo, which I ordered today! Keep up the great work!
:D i love my black Jumbo ... its such a great back .... :S the new one looks cool too but i think a few things sucks .... but the mongo is just a big classic jumbo :D i will get one deffently ... this back is a classic for me :) great video monkey
lovely reviews. good video quality. and... nice jacket. :)
i had already placed an order on the Mongo, and after viewing this, i felt like i should be getting myself a variant of the Jumbo too. Thanks for the review. Cheers from Singapore!
I never thought I'd ask this but, how much is too much velcro? hehe, if I went hiking with that in spring it would full of beggar's lice, still cool though.
I really like the change they made to the LEO model. I had the original Jumbo and I cut the inner cover out of it. Glad your back to making videos. As usual another great review from MSM.
Now that is how reviews need to be done! I've been thinking about upgrading my Versipack and this was extremely helpful! I"ll be going with the Mongo. Thanks!
Great awesome comparison!!!!

Droping the 1000 D Ballistic Nylon for somthing lighter is really to bad imo.
That heavy nylon is why I have bought many maxpadtion products in the recent past.

The Mongo looks more interesting by far.
I would have hoped they would have stuck with the PALS instead of the Phone Pouch, as it's more restricting.
I love the excess amount of velcro though. That's a bonus.
