Maxpedition Jumbo

Well, I have given in after reading much praise here of Maxped stuff, and have a green Jumbo coming. Will I like it, will I actually have enough stuff to fill it? Who knows?

You'll be surprised Chris

I have my Fatboy filled to capacity most days and I thought I would struggle to fill it. Although that includes a 0.5l alu bottle.

I am considering something larger in the backpack range but as I'm sure you know they're so damn expensive here

Magic Bus · **Reply #2 on:** May 06, 2010, 08:11:28 PM

I'm looking forward to receiving it as I don't have anything but pockets to carry stuff in at the moment. And my pockets are deep and my arms so short

I'll do my best Mike, but I will need donations as I haven't got enough stuff to fill it up

Has it arrived yet Chris?

Magic Bus · **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2010, 07:14:24 PM

Yes, the Jumbo has landed. It will take a while for photos, but I have to say I'm very, very impressed

You guys know all about it, but it's all new to me, never having had anything like this before. But it looks like it will be really useful. The water bottle is a Sigg Mike, it's a 1 litre, and I just hope it fits ok

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #16 on:** May 10, 2010, 10:32:51 PM

It'll be a bit to big to go snugly into the water bottle pouch (I've got a 500ml onegreenbottle in mine) but it'll go into the main compartment easily enough

Cheers, I got a 500ml coming too and that should fit.

Looking forward to see how you're throwing your first Maxped bag together... it's an addiction though, be warned

Got a 1 litre Sigg and a 500ml Nalgene water bottle today and even the Sigg fits pretty well in the side pocket

I hate to do it Chris but...

Here we are with the 1litre Sigg in it's pocket

Nice set up. I carry a Sigg in my Gearslinger. Fits in really well.

I nearly went after a Fatboy and I'm glad I didn't. This is a useful size. The mesh pockets in the main drawstring compartment are tall enough to take a standard O/S map or two.

Styerman · **Reply #28 on:** May 14, 2010, 03:07:14 PM

You Buggers ! I have a perfectly good Fat Boy , now you got me wanting a Jumbo . The Water bottle pocket is a biggie plus .

I'm thinking about the EDC version $:-\$
