If you want it to look a little less \u201ctactical\u201d you may want to go with the tungsten blue or black version rather than OD or tactical peanut butter like mine. Whatever works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>The AMP12 is big enough to let you pack enough gear for a weekend trip (ask me how I know) or can be slimmed down to use as an easy-carry EDC bag with just your everyday basics like your computer, a hat, a light jacket and other miscellaneous gear.<\/p>\n<p>At 20 inches in length the 25 liter AMP12 may be on the long side for a lot of users. It\u2019s long enough that it sticks out from under an airline seat.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s too big, 5.11 has a couple of options in the smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.511tactical.com\/amp10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMP10<\/a> (20 liters) or the even smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.511tactical.com\/ampc-pack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMPC<\/a> (16 liters), both of which may be better EDC choices for most people. The great thing about the AMP12, though, is it\u2019s just small enough to use as a daily carry pack while being expandable and flexible enough to carry enough gear for a short trip. I can\u2019t recommend it highly enough.<\/p>\n<p>The AMP12 retails for about <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KjOwBN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$150<\/a> and is made in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/things-that-dont-suck-5-11-amp-12-backpack\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been carrying 5.11\u2019s AMP12 as an everyday carry pack for the last six months or so.
