    Default 5.11 Laptop backpack.

    Anyone ever use one? What are your thoughts on them?

    I have one and they are great. Really tough build. I personally prefer the 5.11 messenger bag for my laptops.... hidden padded pocket in the back is a great conceal option.

    While not the 5.11 laptop backpack, I have used the 5.11 laptop messenger bag/satchel for over a year. I have carried my laptop, small binders, misc business items, and from time to time my Glock 19 in it nearly every day. It has held up exceptionally well during this time period. It does have a large amount of molle on the outside so it doesn't hide it's "tactical coolness" very well. I have been complimented on it many times and conversely I have had it referred to as my man purse. At least it's a tacticool man purse. But seriously, it has held up extremely well, carries everything that I need, and gives me access to my sidearm if needed.

    I got the 5.11 Rush12 pack for Christmas and it has a section for a laptop plus room for all kinds of other gear.

    I need a new laptop/GHB,, maybe I'll check out the 5.11
    I have an Uncle Mike's right now, with the CCW hidden pocket. It's nice, but it's getting worn out.

    I tried a LowePro camera/laptop backpack, but it doesn't have much room. Too much padding.
