Review: 5.11 LV18 Backpack 2.0

I have a Range bag and backpack from 511. They make a real good product.

For the lack of a better term I consider myself somewhat of a backpack snob, the one condition for me is the BP needs to not only stand firmly on it’s own when empty but allows for easy loading without any parts of pack flopping over or collapsing. It is also paramount for me to have adjustable straps attached on the over the shoulder straps that wrap around the upper chest and lower waist area to prevent the pack from moving during activity. A recent backpack I just purchased does not necessarily fall into some of the above parameters however I like the space it provides and I’m working to secure various lite but firmly made cardboard boxes that I’m installing into the various spaces inside the pack to ensure that stand alone requirement.

I wouldn't say I am a backpack snob and I don't own a whole lot of them, but I will say my criteria for a back pack is probably different than most folks here. For one thing, I don't need a back pack that will survive a fire or a nuclear war. I find that most intermediate priced packs are quality enough. I have Chinese $30 bags that have held up just fine. More important to me is the dimensions and lay out of storage areas. Also that they don't look like range bags or like there's a gun in them. And the carrying straps. It's also highly unlikely that I will ever pay $150 for one.

Agreed and also let me add I will NEVER buy or use a backpack to carry my firearm, no, never, not a chance in H… will I ever worry about digging through a backpack to get to my CCW
 
My next favorite bag would be the Maxpedition. They make great bags also. I met the owner at a NRA Convention one year. Range bag, Camera bag and backpack

Really good considerations. Appreciate the good bought a here and I also really like the adjustability options and straps for retention in a good pack design, whatever the intended purpose may be (day bag, hunting, etc). Good notes brother.
