I was looking for a bag to answer my tactical lunch needs while simultaneously allowing me to reminisce about days in the field while in reality working boring staff assignments in a big, five-sided building in the DC area. Can't really go into any more details.
Since I consider myself to be somewhat of a High Speed Daddy, as well as a certified geardo, the large lunch bag appeared to meet all requirements. But would it hold up to the harsh, rigorous, abusive life in a 4x4 cubicle?
BLUF: It does! Holy s*!t it does. The bag is large enough to fit 2 MREs (sans cardboard), 4 cans of Skoal, a pound bag of Jack Links jerky, 2 large Monster energy drinks, and a 20 oz Yeti Tumbler with unit logo. On those days when I can't access MREs and have to resort to home cooked meals, leftovers, or sandwiches (blegh...), it keeps my Operator's spaghetti-o's warm (or cold) until ready for consumption. I use the velcro to attach nametape, bloodtype patch, unit patch, jump wings, ranger tab, and unofficial morale patches. The MOLLE slings on the outside are more than a design element, I actually use them to attach a multi-tool, cellphone case, SPYDERCO knife, hand grenade and many other, highly classified, items.
In case of emergency, this bag could double as: ammo transport bag (will likely fit up to 81mm mortar shells), toolbox, tent or kiddie pool. It is that big. It is that sturdy. It is that good.
Seriously though: Buy it. It is the only lunchbag you will ever need.
HOOAH!
