Deployer XP Loadout Bag, ACU

Haven't put it to use officially yet, but have inspected the build and quality of it. So far, I think it's definitely worth the price. I'm in the military and need some larger luggage pieces to relocate my belongings to different places more frequently than the average person. This defintely can fit a lot of stuff, and even has mutliple pockets and carrying options. The one small gripe I have was that there was a tiny white frayed spot on the back of the bag. I just trimmed it down and sharpied it black so that you can barely notice it anymore. Other than that small thing, I would recommend this bag if you can justify the price tag.

As a career military officer, I've done my share of globetrotting, on business where I get a little dirty, and more pleasant trips. Sometimes though, a regular suitcase just does not cut it, and you want a large one that is easy to maneuver. Enter the Deployer Loadout Bag!This bag is massive! I took it on a family vacation and fit all of my clothes, my wife's shoes, and lots of random other stuff (food for the 2 year old, etc...) on the way out. When we packed to come home, the food was mostly gone, but I replaced that with about 30 bottles (half 12 oz, and half 22 oz or larger) of quality Asheville area craft beer. All fit fine.This bag is designed to act like a foot locker - you can live out of it but just opening the top. The side pocket has a good sized pocket to house things you want to be easily accessable, and the lid has 4 pockets for small items or, again, things you want to have available anytime.The wheels are solid - good enough to roll on most terrain, even rough, and certainly in an airport, though there is no telescoping handle (something that could break), so it is a little more awkward than some bags. Add to that the shoulder straps and (if you've got a strong back for a fully loaded one) you can carry it like backpack. There is a spot at one end for your nametape, patch, or other identifying label, but rest assured that, unless you are hanging out with a bunch of Soldiers or Marines, it is unlikely someone else will have this bag. Perfect for air travel, car travel, or just about anything.Very expensive, but quality bags that last a long time usually are. A buddy of mine has brought his to the desert several times, and it's still going strong!

Solid,expensive but built like a tank.

Looks like it can handle it we shall see I am a US Merchant Marine Captain It will get tested. Bought it because of the wheels

Great design and utility, mil spec quality - worth the price!

This is the 2nd Forceprotector bag that I have owned - the 1st one lasted me 12 years of traveling in and out of places around the world (it actually is still usable, but it getting a little worn in places). The new bag is perfect as a deployment bag - very roomy and well made.

It's huge. Packs a lot of gear. Worth the price.

I own both this Deployer Xp and the Forceprotector Gear Collapsible Deployer Loadout Bag. I've deployed to Afghanistan with the Loadout Deployer and made several US city trips with the larger Deployer Xp. Both are as rugged as travel bags come and have withstood the rigors of US Military handling as well as the toughest baggage handling mechanisms in the US airport system. What you need to know; the zippers are heavy duty and stand up to forceful use, the front flap unzips allowing easy access to quick reach items that are packed on that end of the bag, No need to unzip/unstrap the whole bag, it makes a great portable footlocker, and has all of the provisions to Molle or fasten external gear to the bag. Last tip: Remove the shoulder straps via the quick disconnects and place them inside when traveling though the US airport baggage system to keep from them catching on things. The top handles Velcro together so they don't catch on things. It's expensive but worth it, I highly recommend that you shop around on the internet. I found the exact Forceprotector Xp for $399 on another vendor's website.The smaller Forceprotector Gear Collapsible Deployer Loadout Bag, found on Amazon and other sites, is 100% USG issue. I was issued my Deployer loadout bag, deployed with it, and lived out of it in an austere environment for 7 months and liked the way it performed and held-up so much i bought its bigger brother the Xp. If you prefer high-end gear, don't mind paying for it, then you've found the bag you're looking for.
