Broken Down


The 5.11 Tactical Bailout Bag with empty pouches and scabbard is 3.5 lb.

Plus:
6x 30-round PMAG M3 magazines (loaded): 6.9 lb.
1x OKC 3S Bayonet: 0.9 lb.
1x Camelbak® Chute-Mag insulated water bottle: 1.1 lb. (empty) 3.1 lb. (full)
1x S&W M&P-9 (loaded): 2.2 lb.
2x 17-round M&P-9 magazines (loaded): 1.4 lb.
1x IFAK: 1.5 lb.

Grand Total: 19.5 lb.

This is with an almost empty main compartment.

Adding a couple MRE's would add a couple of pounds.

This is a day-pack at best.

    Seems to be a bit too heavy and bulky to me.

    I like the surplus MOLLE 6 magazine bandoleers for this. Cheap but functional at $2.50-6.00, the flaps snap securely with either three pmags alone or a mix of six metal and pmags.

    They also work with 7.62x51 and saiga 12 guage size magazines.

    I'd prefer to carry the pistol and its magazines on a web belt along with the water bottle.
