The LA Police Gear Atlas™ line of Tactical Backpacks are so packed with features, we're truly besides ourselves. Just like all LAPG products, these backpacks are a tremendous value, but don't sacrifice on quality or materials. We've upped the ante even more with the LA Police Gear Atlas™ Backpacks, as they are made from ultra-tough 900D Polyester with a PVC Coating. So as to not scream "tactical" so much, we've utilized laser cut molle on all areas of the packs.

Last but definitely not least, we have added a new feature to the straps of the LA Police Gear Atlas™ line that allows you to buckle in our LAPG Tactical Chest Pack Attachment directly to the backpack. The Chest Pack is a versatile carrying system that basically gives the storage of another backpack. Great for CCW, small items, or anything you can think of! We spent a long time on the drawing board and on the trail with the LA Police Gear Atlas™ backpacks and know that it shows. You won't be disappointed.


*Expedition Fleece Blanket NOT included* 


*The current inventory of Grey Atlas 12 Hour Backpacks do not support attachment to the LAPG Tactical Chest Pack. This issue will be resolved and we apologize for the inconvenience*

Reviews

Not what it used to be. . .

"I bought an Atlas 12 in 2017 for a trip and loved it. It was my do it all bag. I used it for work and had it loaded with gear all the time, used it on many hiking, weekend and overnight trips. I never saw any signs of getting beat up, despite my efforts to do so. I lost that bag in a house fire in 2025. I ordered a replacement in March of 2026 and by June the strap failed while being loaded with enough clothes for a weekend and a couple of personal items. I was disappointed and it's just outside of their return window so now it's time to shop elsewhere ‍♂️"

Never Disappointed

"I have been using LA Police Gear packs for about 10 years now. It has been cool to see their product line grow and continue innovating. Most importantly, the quality has remained high, and this pack is no exception. This was my first 12HR Atlas from the Atlas line, but I am pleased with it. Well-built, robust zippers; lots of box and double stitching throughout the pack. Slightly larger than a traditional school/EDC bag, but not a problem for me. I will continue to recommend and buy any of LAPG's packs."

Clayton E. (5/5)

Awesome

"Laser cut Molly makes it ready for every attachment. Definitely a tactical bag not really an everyday carry. I use it for my “ ready to go” in case of emergency."

Joseph S. (5/5)

Don’t buy this bag! A joke!

"I was really let down straps broke on me with a pair of shoes in the bag. Deff didn’t hold up at all! Stick to my military bags from now on."

Amazing purchase

"Perfect Gym Bag"

LAPG Atlas 12 Hour Pack

"It seems to be a great pack, and I cannot wait to put it through its paces."

Joseph R. (5/5)

Great Day bag

"Great bag for the price. The molle everywhere give plenty of options for a tactical bag. I've used as a small camp bag, and a small gear bag for range days. good organization. the straps do leave a bit to be desired if you load this bag down heavily. but i don't believe that was truly the intention for this bag."

Chance M. (4/5)

great travel bag

"great bag for air travel"

Michael H. (5/5)

Excellent for the Money and More Spacious than it Looks

"So this thing is a lot better than it's price tag. It has good organization, it's decently well thought out, and it's built well. This is my second one, but that's only because it doesn't come with an anti theft device. There's good space, for a 12 hour pack, but I use it as my gym bag. Pockets for everything, and depending on how you organize it, there's not much it can't accomodate. I have the 24 hour pack also. Equally as good, if not more so."

Q&A

Which green is greener in general, OD green or Ranger green?
OD Green.
Will this backpack fit a 17” laptop?
Yes, this backpack will fit a 17" laptop.
Is this water resistant at all?
Yes, it is water resistant, as it is made of 900D Polyester with PVC Coating.
Any idea if the grey packs will ever be in stock again? Maybe by Christmas 2019?
We are anticipating our next shipment around the end of October, then it will go through QC. It should be available for ordering and shipping in November.
Can the backpanel be replaced with ballistic panels? size?
The back panel has a half pouch that you can fit a plate. The back is approximately 16.5" tall and 12" wide.
Which color matches the standard USMC coyote brown? Looking online I can’t tell if the brown pack is closer or the coyote pack.
I'm sorry, I don't know the standard USMC CB since we deal with so many different brands and their variations. Our CB is more yellow toned than regular brown. I would think it would be CB as a closer match.
I am interested in purchasing 45 units of the 12H-Pack in Black. Can you offer a volume discount on this item. It will be used by Public Safety Cadets during their first National Leadership Academy. See our website at: www.PublicSafetyCadets.org We are a non-profit nationwide organization created to assist public agencies mentor young adults interested in careers in law enforcement, fire-rescue and emergency medical services. Thank you.
Yes, please request a quote and explain this to that department. NOTE- this link is available on all pages of our website toward the bottom right corner: https://lapolicegear.com/quote.html
How big of a laptop can fit in this bag?
In the main compartment of the backpack, there is a pocket against the back for this; that pocket can fit a 17" laptop. if you don't use that pocket and have it loose in the main compartment, you could do a few inches bigger.
Are the hip belts detachable?
Hello, The waist strap is not detachable.
Will the LA Police Gear 3.0L Shape Shifter Reservoir fit in to the Atlas 12 hour bag
Yes that reservoir is approximately 18 inches long empty so it should easily fit the 12.
Any chance this will come in grey? Ever?
Definitely a chance, but not anything in the works right now!
What is the liter capacity of the this bag? Also. Anyone have the liter capacity of the atlas 24? I like the side pocketable of the 24, but I feel like it might be a bit big for my edc.
These are 35 liters and the Atlas 24 is 52.4 liters.
What size laptop can this pack hold?
The pouch for the laptop is approximately 12 inches wide and almost the full height of the pack can be used for laptop storage.
Where do I attach the lower straps of the tactical chest pack to the backpack? I read the answer for the 72 hour backpack, but I do not have any open loops where the chest straps attach to the pack. A friend has the 3-day pack 2.0, and he has an extra set of open loops sewn in with the chest straps, but my pack does not have the extra loops. How do I connect the chest rig? OR, is my pack defective? The pictures show both sides of the lower attachment point of the chest straps on my pack, showing no open loop. The third picture is my friends 3-Day pack 2.0, with the open loop and attachment for the chest pack installed.
I'm sorry for the delayed reply. For the 12 hour pack you need to use the waist strap since it doesn't have the mounting points on the bottom of the pack.
YKK zippers?
No these do not have YKK zippers.
Would this pass as a personal item on united airlines. They require smaller a max of 9x10x17 inches or 22x25x43 cm
The dimensions for this are 18" H x 13" W x 8.5" D. You might be able to get away with it as long as you don't fil it completely but the fully stuffed dimensions will be over the limit.
How big is the backpack in comparison to the LAPG Operator Backpack? Bigger? Smaller?
The Atlas 12 Hour Pack is much smaller than the Operator. The 24 Hour pack would be closer to that size.
Is there Velcro on the front for patches and attachments ?
Yes this has hook and loop material on the front.
What are the female buckles at the top of the should straps used for?
Those buckles allow you to adapt the chest pack in with the backpack: http://www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-bg-chestpack.html
What would you recommend to be the max weight capacity for this 12 hour Atlas? I am looking at this to use for a GoRuck event where my pack will likely weigh ~40 lbs. Thanks!!!
Unfortunately we don't have a weight recommendation for this but this should hold 40 lbs just fine.
Does the 12-hour pack have side pockets like the 24 & 72 hour packs?
No the 12 hour pack does not have side pockets like the other two Atlas packs.
Is this TSA carry on approved?
Yes this is carry on approved.
How many total pockets does it have including the mesh pockets inside pockets.
This has 5 main pockets, 6 interior pockets, 2 pen pockets, 1 hydration pouch pocket, and 1 plate pocket.
What is the maximum size hydration bladder that will fit in this pack?
There really isn't a practical limit to the size hydration bladder you can use. It's more of an issue of how much water you want to carry.
Is there any MOLLE or other attachment points on the bottom of this bag?
Yes all of the Atlas line have MOLLE attachment points on the bottom of them, not a full MOLLE panel but a couple points for attachment.
What are the measurements of the main compartment?
The internal measurements of the main compartment are approximately: 5.5 Inches Deep 12.5 Inches Wide 17.5 Inches Tall
Is the waist belt removeable?
Yes the waist strap can be removed.
Is this close to the size of the 5.11 12 hr rush. And what size bladder would work best
Yes this is very similar in size to the 12 hour Rush pack and will accommodate most conventional hydration pouches.
