5.11.56998 Triab 18 Bag

I have several 5.11 products including the Rush 72 Pack. In comparison, the Triab's construction is very lacking in the area of the main support straps. The straps are sewn in by one seam and seem weak compared to its Rush backpack counterparts. A friend and I both bought one of these and within two weeks, one of his main support straps started to separate from the pack. He mainly wore his in 'Single-Sling' configuration.

This pack can be worn using two main support straps or one. When wearing it in single-sling, it performs well at keeping your sidearm reach free of obstruction while doing quite well at holding the pack in place.

Wearing it with both support straps as a standard backpack, I found the pack to be uncomfortable. I am 6', 190 lbs, and have an average build. The straps are angled in a manner that I found hard to make comfortable. This pack was definitely designed in favor of a single-sling pack.

Outside of that, you get the typical product 5.11 provides. Great zippers, buckles, pocket arrangement, etc...

To sum this up, the main support straps are the weak link in this pack. Both in construction and comfort.

I have been looking at these military style packs for some time now. I finally shelled out the cash and have been really pleased. The design of the Triab is very nice... and doesn't look like the typical bag. It has lots of space and is fully customizable. I'm a photographer and a coach and the ability to add straps to the inside is great for customizing space for all your gear. I'm sure this bag will last me the rest of my life. I'm really pleased that I spent the money on this. A+

The 5.11 Triab 18 bag is well made and sturdy, just what I'd expect from 5.11. It has plenty of pockets, MOLLE strips on front and sides, and the single or double-strap carry options make it very versatile.

Unfortunately I'm returning the one I ordered. My intention was to use the Triab 18 as my EDC carry bag for my laptop, a 15" Dell, but the bag's triangular form factor means that it is too narrow at the top to zip closed with the laptop inserted. A smaller laptop (14" or smaller screen) would easily fit, but the 15.6" screen on my Inspiron is just a bit too big to fit.

In all other respects the bag looks great. I haven't had a chance to wear it but it looks like it would be comfortable for my 5'11' 210lb frame.
