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.

Reviews

Horrible quality.

"I bought this bag for work to carry some of my PPE, radio and extra change of clothes. When I received the first backpack the quality didn't feel good as some of the zippers would get stuck and felt rough when opening them. After 2 months of use it started ripping from different areas. I submitted a warranty claim and paid over $30 to get a new one from warranty and the new one did even last one month before it started ripping apart worse than the first one. I recommend saving your money and investing a few more dollars and buy a better quality backpack that'll last way longer than this one. I'm very disappointed on this one."

Operationally tested and passed!

"I've had the same 72-hour pack for almost 8 years. This thing has stood the test of time and has been put through its paces. I definitely recommend purchasing one if you're needing a reliable duty backpack."

Greg (5/5)

Save your money

"This bag is almost worthless. The chest strap is held down with cheap plastic. I had to return the backpack to store. The store then charged me $25 to repair, and sew on the strap permanently. The stitching ripped on the main compartment. I had the bag loaded, and picked up the bag by the top handle, it just continued to rip. Bad stitching, bad seem, not heavy duty at all. The zipper pulls are just non sense. They pulled off the first use. Will not purchase again. I have both black and coyote colors. Same defects on both. I went with the 5. 11 Rush 100 liter bag."

Nolan S. (1/5)

The perfect 3 day ruck pack

"The 74L backpack provides tons of space to fit all your survival gear. Lots of MOLLE to attach pouches transferring water from my plate carrier to my pack. The helmet carrier holds helmets securely but is also strong enough to secure steel targets on rucks to the woods."

Chase L. (5/5)

Weak stitching

"The backpack stitching came loose within a week of receiving it. They need more stitching. Now there’s a giant hole in the backpack."

Jordan P. (1/5)

Very large as advertised

"These LAPG packs are decent quality but have flaws. Mine received had a lot of threads that needed to be burned so they don’t fall apart. Multi cam is a good color and the zipper pulls are lacking they could be upgraded for the price of this pack. The front stuff pouch are needs to be able to tighten it up without something in it."

Heath S. (3/5)

My orders came damaged

"Both bags I ordered came with broken zippers or other imperfections."

Chase B. (2/5)

Buen bolso

"El cierre Presenta fallas al abrir el bolsillo principal, pero lo demás es excelente distribución de espacios y compartimentos"

72Hr TacBacPac

"Excellent product as always from LAPG. Well constructed, roomy and able to get all gear needed for bugging."

Elbridge W. (5/5)

Fantastic bag

"Overall, it's a great bag that has traveled the continent with me. It's nice to have storage space for your helmet, though it can be a bit tight. Full disclosure, the Ranger Green may as well just be the slate gray that lapg offers for other products. It's kind of ugly, and I ended up getting an olive drab one to replace the Ranger Green one I originally purchased. The pouches are pretty great, you can pack for about a week, far beyond the 72 hours that the bag prescribes."

Q&A

Can the waistband be removed from this bag if I don’t want to use it?
It cannot.
I don’t see a size guide listed? What is The torso length of the backpack? What is the waste size? When will olive drab be back in stock?
Torso length is 15”. Circumference of the waist at it’s most extended 61”. We are hoping to get olive drab in within the next few months.
Does the backpack have any padded area for a laptop? I'm looking to carry a 17" one.
There isn't an official laptop area/pouch/pocket, but there is a drawstring pouch in the large part of the bag that may be able to hold your 17" laptop.
Where is it made?
Hello, All LAPG items are manufactured in China.
I just bought the atlas 72 hr tactical back pack and looked in the compartment where the hydration bladder would go and do not see any where to hang it or any strap or connection point at the top how is the hydration bladder supported?
Open up the main pocket and behind the pocket bag of another pocket there is a hanging piece tucked inside an opening. Pull that out and it is to hang the bladder!
Is the waist strap removable? Is the bag rain resistant?
The waist strap cannot be removed. This bag is coated for water resistance, but it is not recommended for extended water exposure like rain; the items inside would more than likely get wet in that scenario.
Water repellent but would it hold against being in the rain used for a motorcycle backpack? Would it keep contents inside dry?
Hello! This item has a water resistant coating, but we do not recommend it to be exposed to a consistent rainfall while on a bike. The coating is not meant to stand up to constant water contact, more like if it gets a spill or is in rain for just a moment, not a bunch of water.
What are the internal dimensions of the main compartment?
The internal dimensions of the main compartment are approximately: 23" H x 19" W x 6" D
Does this 72 hr pack have the same plastic like coating on the inside as the operator pack that dry rots and flakes over everything on the inside?
Hello, Currently all of our backpacks come with the coating. But I have sent your feedback to our Production Department
ETA on the black color coming back in stock?
Hello, We are currently waiting our shipment from our manufacturer overseas. The ETA is mid to end of February.
Will a 1ltr. water bottle fit in the side pockets
Hello, The side pocket measures approximately: 6" wide 14" long 1.5" deep it is dependent upon the type of reservoir used and size if it will fit. Hope this helps!
What size is this? 37L? 50L?
This is a 4560 cubic inch pack so about 70L.
What are the dimensions of the main compartment?
Hello and sorry for the delay if this has not yet been answered. It is approximately: H-25" W 14" D 7"
Is there Molle on the bottom the pack?
Yes all of the packs in the Atlas line have MOLLE attachment points on the bottom of them, not a full MOLLE panel but a couple points for attachment.
Would I be able to fit my bulletproof vest and duty belt into this backpack along with duty weapons.
The dimensions for these are 24" H x 19" W x 10" D so they should have plenty of room for your gear.
Will the side pocket on the 72 hr pack accommodate a large angled spotting scope? I have a Bushnell with an 80 mm objective lense and am looking for a hunting pack that will hold it securely. Thank you
The side pockets will easily accommodate a 1.5L Nalgene bottle so as long as your scope is smaller than that it will fit.
Can this bag fit a ballistic helmet in the flap opening on the outside?
You may loose some of the internal storage but yes it should fit. maybe some of our customers have used it for that purpose and can advise.
What are the weights of the 3 atlas packs?
The weights of each are approximately: 12: 3.5 24: 4.2 72: 5.7
What is the weight of this pack? If practical, could you include the weights of the other Atlas series packs in the answer?
I was about to post the weights to each of the packs, this weighs about 5.7 Lbs, the 24 is 4.2 Lbs, and the 12 is 3.5 Lbs.
What is the difference between the brown and coyote?
I'm sorry for the confusion, if you select the color you are looking at in the drop down menu it will bring up a picture of the color you select.
Looking for a pack as a carry on item, would this one work? Pass TSA standards? Second question, does this pack a spot for a Velcro military name tag?
These are too big to be used as a carry-on. From what I can find online the TSA carry-on limits are 9î x 14î x 22î. Yes there are two hook and loop sections on the front of the bag where you could put a name tape.
does this have an inner frame
No these do not have an internal frame.
What size/type is the waste buckle? I'm a big dude, and my intention is to make a short waist extension.
This uses a 1.5 inch buckle.
Can you remove the waist strap?
No, the waist strap is permanently affixed.
Is this pack compatible with chest rig/packs other than the LAPG tactical Chest pack attachment ?
Unfortunately we have not made them to be compatible with other chest rigs but you might be able to retrofit one.
Is there a picture of the bag in the grey color?
Yes we do have a picture for that. If you select the grey option from the drop down menu it will show you the grey version of this pack.
