Armor Tactical Response Backpack Bag for Professionals GO Bag

Armor Tactical Response Backpack Bag for Professionals GO BagI have the "CERT" version of this bag (green with yellow "CERT" on the long side pocket). The outer long side pocket holds 3 C-Collars (a little tight but they fit). Each of the outer pockets hold a metal water container (not designed for them but they work). They advertise they are radio pockets but are WAY too big to hold radios even public service radios.

The inner large pocket is one giant pocket with two mesh inner pockets (on the same side as the front water bottle pockets). I can hold one foldable canvas litter and an emergeny radio/binoculars in the mesh pockets. The large inner area can hold a green CERT backpack and the waist pack just right. The shoulder straps shown work but are not comfortable for any kind of long hauling more to get your gear from your truck to a plane or bus.

This pack (in my opinion) is great to keep all of your CERT gear, climbing gear, water rescue gear, etc. in one spot, easily accessable and organized. I keep mine in the back of my Excursion but this would fit even in smaller cars (mid size to the larger end of compact cars). NOT for smart cars, etc. :) This is much more durable than a typical zipper duffel...the zipper is very tough (heavy duty YKK?), stitching is beefy and it's meant to be abused.

Does it's job...price has gone up since I bought mine (found it for closer to $75)...honestly I wouldn't buy it now at it's current price you can find other bags without the 'frills' (MOLLE, etc.) that you don't end up using anyway. If you can find it cheaper than $100, go for it, but at $129 it's a little overpriced.
