The Lochsa is a good example of Maxpedition's known innovation bringing another unique item on the market. The concept is a bit like taking a big-ass Octa and combining with ideas of the Merlin. The result is a large butt-pack that can turn into a good sized backpack.
DIM: Main: 11" (L) x 9" (W) x 3" (Thick)
With a quick overlook of the Neatfreak, the hard use every day carry (EDC) user seems to be the demographic the design caters to, however some extra features allow dual use for MIL/LEO applications. The overall shape is similar to a Remora, but they are quite different pieces of kit.
Front pocket: 6" x 6" x 1"
Front slim pocket: 6" x 5"
Main compartment: 9" x 7" x 3"
Rear CCW pocket: 6" x 8" with internal loop field
Approximate overall volume: 225 cu. in.
A new addition to the Gearslinger line, the Remora is the smallest to date.
Due to the similar core platforms of these two versipacks, I have chosen to display both reviews in one post. Forgive me if this causes the flow to read a little jumpy.
Colossus:
Main: 8” x 5” x 10” deep, padded sides and bottom, front and back internal pockets
Top: 6” x 5” x 1” thick with internal pocket and elastic loops
Front: 8” x 7” x 1.5” thick with various pockets
Zipper CCW pocket: 9” wide x 11” deep with 7” x 8” loop field
Back CCW pocket: 9” wide x 11” deep with 7” x 8” loop field, hydration compatible
The murse makes for a great platform to customize your own small go bag. Although the bag is a little slim looking, PALS webbing is on the front and sides to expand as you wish. On the inside, both sides are covered with velcro to allow further pouches and dividers to be added. Velcro holsters, mag holders, pen holders etc. can be obtained through Esstac. The sides have big elastic loops to assist in separation for items like water bottles. As a bonus touch, the interior back has a D-ring and SRB for connection points. The shoulder strap is removable using two 2" SRBs. These can be a little noisy and clunky sometimes, but serve their purpose well for strength yet removable. I hope to add more pictures soon showing pouches added.
Folded size: 8" x 5" x 4"
Main: 15" x 12" x 6" (approx. 1080 cu. in.)
Front pocket (top): 7" x 5" x 2"
Front pocket (bottom): 7" x 5" x 2"
The Merlin is another great example of Maxpedition's innovation. Starting off looking like an innocent GP pouch, the main compartment expands out to transform the pouch into a full backpack.
Specs:
Main compartment dims: 9" wide on top, 7" wide on bottom, 5" high x 3" deep
Front compartment dims: 6" x 5" x 1.5"
Front slip pocket dims: 5.5" x 4"
Back slip pocket dims: 8" x 4"
Waist strap: 2" removable, max. waist size 48"
The OCTA is Maxpedition's take on the old fanny pack idea.
DIM: 12" x 8" x 7"
Had this one sent my way as B-day present. I mostly intended to use it as expanding backpack space, however also works great as a general small go bag or man purse. Being fully PALS'd out I can mount the pouch itself or attach other smaller pouches to it to easily adjust to my situational need. The outter layer is nylon based while the interior is a more waterproof material. Side plastic D-rings allow for extra attachment points and there is a velcro strip for ID patches. Inside are 2 large velcro sealed sleeves on the back side and a mesh pocket with velcro flap on the front side. This allows for the diversity of mags to medical equipment to even ordinance. Additional tether points are inside to assist in organizational options. The strap isn't anything to call come about with plastic snaps, but should be quite sufficient most of the time. You will need to fill up the bag with ammo before much strain will go on the strap snaps. I'll update as I beat on it more, has been working great for backpack expansion so far.
