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.
