Looking for a 3 day pack

BTW OP, sorry to thread jack.

Not a problem. I'm liking the looks of some of the packs. I all ready had the Kelty Redwing pack in my cart on Amazon. I've been busy writing SOPs for the SAR team for the last couple weeks. I was told we may have some budget money for supplies once the SOPs are complete and approved.

I'm also thinking I will order a couple of the LAPD packs as well to try out. The price is definately good if they last.

If you haven't already, you can sign up for their email blast. You will get random discounts (7-12% in my experience) and free shipping sometimes.

I've hunted with my LAPG pack for the last two years, including leaving it in the bed of the truck during a heavy rain all night. Have had the pack for years and it's holding up fine.

So not to hijack the thread entierly, more to co-jack it.
(Who loves ya baby.)
Are any of these packs inbetween a 3 day and regular size? I need something to carry kids jackets, and waters for small hikes but don't want to go into full out mule mode.

I would say the Kelty Redwing 32 might be something to look at. For reference, the Redtail in the pic is 1650 cubic inches, and the Redwing 32 is 1900.

ETA: After loading up the Redtail for the first time, I'm impressed and it's plausible this bag may fit your needs.





Inside is ten 16oz waters, meals for two shifts, snacks I keep regularly, gloves, watch cap, spare water resistant jacket, bowl, plastic ware, pens, flashlight, note pad. I may be missing some things, but you get the point.

Thanks Hurley. I'll go and check one out locally.

picked this up at the BX. It's served me well for 6 years and is my current travel bag for avoiding checked luggage.
Exterior front pouch is all mesh on mine. I don't have a slit for water bag.
LOVE the compression part.

I was actually looking at that one, SOC makes some really nice bags, I was just trying to avoid MOLLE on this one.

So then all the LA Police Gear suggestions aren't very helpful to you (but I think it was good info, regardless)... Sorry!
