Product Description

The MAXPEDITION Fatboy S-Type Versipack (#0408) was originally designed for Search and Rescue work, the S-type allows for MAXPEDITION's accessory pocket in place of the cellphone pocket on the standard Fatboy. The Fatboy S-Type rides on the left side of the body filling the need for a 'lefty' Fatboy and a grab-and-go gear bag that does not hinder the quick drawing of a sidearm on the right hip.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Pack I've Ever Encountered, May 11, 2010

Maxpedition FATBOY S-TYPE VERSIPACK is by far the best pack I have ever purchased, and quite frankly, I have indeed purchased amany. I am a chaplain officer with the International Federation for Emergency Chaplains. I have a need to carry first aid supplies, as well as my religious articles on me at all times, while I am on duty. This pack, which has a removable shoulder pad is both comfortable with or w/o it. (I myself removed the pad). The pack, in which I ordered in khaki color, serves quite a unique purpose. Of course, originally designed to serve search & rescue personnel, this versipack is small enough to fit snuggly to your side, and yet large enough on the inside to hold your most desired gear.

There were only two drawbacks that I found with this pack. First & foremost, the waist strap, (when not in use), has to be wrapped around the top handle for out-of-the-way use so that it doesn't hang down side of the pack. Now, I'm not certain about anybody else, I have a 32-sized waist, & I find that I can use this pack with or without the strap, unfortunately, without using it, and the pack has a tendency to slide forward when your walking or bicycling for instance. The second concern, which really isn't that big, was the front-most zippered pocket. I use this to stash my Rosary beads & holy water bottle, which is really the only two tiniest of articles you can actually put in there. This pocket is so small that it really shouldn't have probably even been a pocket & is most likely there just for looks.

Besides this, the two sides pockets provide ample storage for my first aid items, EMT shears, hemostat, latex gloves, multitool, even a mini-Mag flashlight holder. The main compartment that has a drawcord for secure closure holds most of my emergency supplies, notpad & pen, first aid gear, such as; bandages, tape, gauze, wraps, etc. I can accommodate my prayer book, stole, cruets and more in the front zippered compartments and the rear zippered pocket.

The pack is great too because I have the need to represent myself as an emergency chaplain, so the strap serve the great purpose of being wide enough to accommodate my chaplain badge. This truly is the "best pack I've ever used."

Two thumbs up to Maxpedition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical organizer for all my "must carry" items., June 19, 2010

After forgetting my wallet a few times, I bought this to be able to grab it and go, having all my "must haves" and not spend time searching for my wallet, keys, calculator, checkbook, glasses, pens/paper ect. Excellent workmanship in the stitching & material. It will hold my Glock .45/ or camera in the back compartment with ease. Overall not to big or to small, and has a nice GPS compartment and one for my flashlight.

CONS: 1. Make sure you can use the "S" version (left handers) although it will work either way over the shoulder it just makes a little easier to access if you are left handed and carrying on the left side, I'm right handed and carry it right, and adjust to it fine. I don't CCW so I don't "fast draw", as the zipper pull would be on the wrong side for quick access.
2. The shoulder strap does not fully remove (snaps together) if you only want to hand carry, but for me it's ok as I can snap it together on the shopping cart handle, a little more security. It's a little bulky to carry while shopping and does flop around a bit. 3. This model uses only ykk single zippers, so you have to fully unzip the front compartment from only one side, and no cell phone pocket.

Well built, lots of compartments, light and easy to carry. On my last Canada fishing trip several of my fishing partners teased me about having a "man purse". When we returned they wanted to know how & where they could order one and of course I replied "Amazon".
