I have the medium sized one (lima) and I love it. The outside pockets are great for bottled water or coke.

[@069delta]

Great review, thank you! I was on the fence about size so this was extremely helpful. I was wanting something for my Surface pro and a few books etc...I'm gettin' the Mike!

[@JECOLTM4]

Excellent, very thorough review. I'm going to order one of these bags right now!

[@SjRippaa]

Had to decide between this or manhatten portage. Seen your video and decided 5.11 is the way to go! Thanks for helping me out

[@ironman2326]

I just bought the 5.11 Overwatch Messenger 18 L, similar to this bag. Just got it last night and transferred my stuff over to it. Can't wait to use it! Feels like quality materials. 5.11 sold them 20% off for President's Day.

[@dexternuqui753]

Its 2021 and this messenger bag is still being sold by 5.11, a testament to its design! I just bought mine this November as a bday present for myself, bag is still on the expensive side for its size, but the toughness i guess pays for it….

[@tvspiderman]

Great review, I'm convinced! I have the 5.11 Side Trip at the moment but it is just too large for every day use. Thanks

[@marcharrison673]

Hi, Thanks for the great review. I've been trying to decide between the Mike and the Lima and this video showing you carrying the Mike has helped me decide. Most other reviews seem to be 'tabletop style' and don't give a proper idea of size so this is very useful.

[@gideonstactical]

Marc Harrison Glad this video helped you out!

[@ghadab1234]

Helped me make my decision. Great review dude!

[@joedarago6160]

Great review! Thanks.

[@joesapone687]

Good thorough review. Many thanks.

[@Adam_Newman]

Nice bag ! Just ordered one , thanks

[@allemansratten4281]

I didnt kniw there were different sizes to thus bag. Ive been using a larger version of it as my patrol bag for a couple of years with no problems. Figured to get another for a more everyday carry type deal but have gotten off the MOLLE everything kick. Would rather somthing more covert off duty. Plus I find that if you can attach you WILL attach stuff until you've got a behemoth slung over your shoulder. ;-)

[@all_your_baser_belong_to_us]

I got the Lima and it was a huge bulky mess. The Mike seems perfect for my tablet, sub comp, and headphones and a hammock.

[@CVCC]

great review thank you very much!

[@At-ym2ld]

Great vid man, went onto Govx after this video and bought one. Awesome review.

[@freundlicherfalmer8375]

You Sold it to me, love it!

[@graylott6662]

Purchased. Thanks for the review

[@gideonstactical]

Awesome, Glad to help.

[@Ybtl568]

great detail review. Thanks for your vid. the vid has been 7 years but still helpful and still same bag 5.11 is selling. Awesome. (I wonder material got updated tho!)

[@jink6091]

Good review on this manly murse. :-) Thanks for the vid.

[@MAROCK187]

I watched your video yesterday. I bought the Lima version instead of the Mike. Again great video. Keep up the good work. 💪🏽👍

[@duonghuynh9855]

By far, the best review video of the bag! I've been looking to get one of these and haven't been able to find video that gave me the details I need as far as body fit and size in reference to the body. Great job!

[@gideonstactical]

Duong Huynh Thanks so much, glad the video helped!

[@partisanrocktactical2174]

Thanks for the review bro.

[@partisanrocktactical2174]

Just got this bag... Double tap

[@RealitySurvival]

Sweet bag!

[@gideonstactical]

***** Thanks!

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

I found this bag to be way too narrow. There are amazingly many compartments, but if you use half of them, the whole space is filled up. They should have done it one inch wider, that would have been perfect. Returned mine.

[@DesmondSG]

Just got this and I agree fully.

[@reno9324]

After seeing your review i bought one immediately.

[@gideonstactical]

François Capulong Awesome glad to hear it!

[@martinhawrylkiewicz2025]

Very nice review! I am looking for a new messenger bag for work since my old one (I got it at Staples years ago) is starting to fall apart. I really like this bag and was thinking of getting it but one thing that's bothers me is how narrow it is on the bottom. Seems like it has the tendency to fall over to one side and won't stay upwards. Not sure if anyone else have found this as a problem. But I have seen few other reviews of this bag (Mike and Lima) and both guys said the same thing...bag tends to fall over and won't stay up.

[@flipteezy]

man you sold me on this! good review!

[@gideonstactical]

+flipteezy Glad you enjoyed it and it helped you out.

[@ch4mz3n29]

If only this bag was a little wider inside, then this would be perfect EDC bag.

[@drcsep]

GreaT bag. I like it. This bag seems more organized than the Maxpedition Vesper messenger bag. Gracias.

[@gideonstactical]

Carlos Sepulveda Glad it helped!

[@MAROCK187]

Thnx man for your video i'm gonna buy this bag

[@XcrownedR]

Watched too many reviews getting no real feel of the bag. This is the best review.

[@BigfootBeerandGear]

Looks cool. I like that bag.

[@gideonstactical]

Kody Joslen It is sweet!

[@faux-real]

Remember, it's "YKK zipper hardware" not "YKK Zippers". That means the zipper isn't YKK, just the metal/plastic piece that you pull.

[@WhiskeyAndWildflowers]

out of the three witch one of the 5.11's messenger bag's do you think will be able to hold 6or 7 ,1.5" binders and then enough room for a surficebook and the charger

[@Joker-ms4iu]

Awesome bag I have it in the same color, but mine is the bigger size - Lima. Good video brother.

[@emmy6543]

Hey!! Great review! Do you think I could put in some legal size folders or legal size binder? Thank you very much and keep the good work!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@raganmandiguiado4995]

got mine also..cool

[@IKSRTFO]

Great review I noticed it was padded on the walls of the laptop section but Is it padded on the bottom of the laptop section aka floor section?

[@dansig123]

nice video....thanks

[@RealityWizards]

Pretty nice review over all. Would have liked to know the size of laptop the back sleeve held. I was also greatly distracted when you decided to pick/clean your toes towards the end. That was just a bit bizarre.

[@DenisHauser]

Nice bag!

[@gideonstactical]

FuwaForestFilmsHD It is!

[@martinhawrylkiewicz2025]

Great vid review! I went to the 5.11 store in NY to check these bags out (Mike and Lima) but didn't buy it for only one major drawback. The bottom of those bags is just too narrow and the bag won't stand up on its own. You got to always lean against something or it will just fall to one side. I think that's a design flaw in my opinion.

[@tln1720]

Can i use this for school/ studying ??

[@Jarhead6]

very nice bro!

[@gideonstactical]

Jarhead6 Thanks!

[@gaetan6396]

Hey man, I'm planning on buying a rush delivery mike, and I'm wondering if a 20 Oz Nalgene multi drink bottle will fit in the bottle compartment on the side ? The bottle is a little bit less of 3 inch large, Thank you :)

[@mattbram8993]

Do you think you can fit a 15" MacBook Pro in this bag?

[@Miamis4me305]

Thanks for the great review. I love this bag and your review was the best available! I do have one question; which maxpedition organizer did you fit in the side pocket? I ordered the OD trail because it looks more brownish than green. Keeping my fingers crossed otherwise I'll return and get the one you showed. Thanks again.

[@gideonstactical]

Tere Martin its the micro size. Thanks for watching!

[@pastortlc1]

Did you by chance compare the Mike to the Lima (the next size up)?

[@scott1564]

What does this weight when you have it loaded as you demonstrated here (or similar)?

[@LonghornTexasFan]

Nice review. I think I'm going to pass on this bag because of the small side pouch for water bottles. Thank you .

[@getbent6129]

Would love to know more about the music in the intro. Artist/title?

[@simiancrease5222]

Wow.. nice👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@reno9324]

is there a smaller messenger style tactical bag?

[@psychosliver]

Will the Rush Delivery Mike fit with a laptop with size height x width x depth (in mm): 23 x 345 x 245 ( = 0.91 x 13.58 x 9.65 in)

[@cjla298]

So can the Mike hold a 15" laptop? I've read several reviews, some say yes, others say no.

[@PlasticPlanetsBand]

big fans!

[@Adam_Newman]

What's the color on this one ? Thanks

[@X3RUBIM]

Do you know if the bag will fit a 14" laptop?

[@drewswanson8142]

i plan on carrying my Kimber Desert Warrior in this...I don't think that is ridiculous.

[@AvianSavara]

Best unmentionned feature of this bag? It's AM-BI-DEX-TROUS.... or ambiwaist...trous? Don't know about anyone else, but I tend to wear my bag on my left flank ("swordside", for you other right-handed HEMA types out there). You'd be surprised how many bags aren't designed with that it mind.

[@tln1720]

Maxime Boileau can i use this for school/studying ?

[@MrRay168]

Nation Memories perfect, main compartment is a4 size

[@tln1720]

MrRay168 tks dude

[@TangoTexan]

What an excellent looking bag!! That is exactly the right size and type I've been looking for. It looked like the water bottle pockets can fold shut on the ends and not stick out when not in use. Is that true? I may definitely have to get another 5.11 bag. It seems that I keep them and Maxpedition in business LOL. Thanks for the good, concise review. Much appreciated.

[@gideonstactical]

TangoTexan No problem and yes they do collapse up against the bag when not in use.

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

Will this fit a 14 inch asus laptop?

[@gutterdocmd]

Really appreciate your channel, have you done a review on the 5.11 4 banger bag by chance? I couldn't find one on your channel but I have been known to be computer challenged haha...

[@gideonstactical]

gutterdocmd I have not reviewed the pack.

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

Wish they lined the inside with a lighter color so it’s easier to find stuff

[@jonharper6915]

Will a 10x14 laptop fit in this bag?

[@tonysapno9592]

What size for the laptop to fit in?

[@moranomar1995]

Hi great review! Just wondering how tall you are, the bag looks like a great size, bit i'm 6'4 and i don't want it to be too small on me.

[@gideonstactical]

+moranomar1995 I am 6ft 2in and weight 220lbs.

[@theokierebel4398]

there is a knock off of this on amazon for those more budgeted. trivol edc messenger bag.

[@theokierebel4398]

Update: I finally received the knock off. I am very pleased with the quality. The specs are the exact same as the 5.11 messenger bag.

[@Adam_Newman]

Have you noticed the Velcro starting to wear any ? Is it the high quality Velcro? Thanks

[@gideonstactical]

strpl2 No, it is holding up really well.

[@MattEdie]

gideonstactical The velcro under the main flap is wearing out on mine and doesn't always hold if I grab the handle. A bit of a bummer if I don't latch the two clips as all the contents will dump out.

[@ginosorima5564]

Awesome bag! I wonder how much it retails?

[@gideonstactical]

Gino Sorima I believe I stated in the video. Goes for about 80 to 90 bucks.

[@gilbert512]

Hm... Womder if you can put a sub2000 folded in it.

[@Hellwolf501]

How do you feel this bag would work for dad things like diapers and milk and bottles toys?

[@megankeith2148]

Hellwolf501 as a mom to a toddler and an owner of this bag, I wouldn’t suggest it. The pockets inside are tight and the width is far too narrow to fit everything you need. You might instead look for a cross body range bag if you want dual purpose.

[@Gungrave123]

No dedicated phone sleeves..

[@adisharoni3265]

May I ask what's your height? it will give a better sense of dimension of the bag.

[@gideonstactical]

+Adi Sharoni 6' 2" 220lbs

[@adisharoni3265]

+gideonstactical thank you

[@54Tunny]

Want a bag that you only need to buy 1 time and use it for your whole life? This thing :v

[@stephenseaborn3844]

What did you dig out from between your toes?

[@dean1708987]

does it fit 15,6 inch laptop?

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

No way. 13 inch yes.

[@livi116]

Wow Bible and pocket knife? Funny eh

[@allwrong3114]

Admit it man. It's a purse.

[@kacperkosowski9506]

[@Andrais9]

[@gideonstactical]

Leonard Gilbert Anderson II Looks like a good bag.
