Review on πŸš“ Enhance Police Vehicle Safety with 5.11 Tactical Wingman Patrol Bag - Style 56045 by Kenneth Mills

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great space saver and functional design

Before that I had a tattered single compartment patrol bag from a senior officer at my agency. My old patrol bag was cluttered and I couldn't organize my gear, not to mention every time I ran the code it fell on the floorboard and I had to reorganize everything. I bought this patrol bag because of the many compartments and pockets. and other storage options. I was amazed at the difference. With all my gear, there's still room left. The Molle function gives me a lot of storage options. My bag contains mounts for rifles and pistols and a pocket for handcuffs. This is a great feature for saving space and making gear more accessible. Now when I need a spare set of handcuffs or a multi-tool, I know exactly where it is and I don't have to rummage through my remaining gear to get a specific item. It's nice to have my first aid kit on the outside of the bag where everyone can see and easily reach without having to rummage through it. Now I know that if I ask someone to take my LED kit out of the car, they will see it immediately and without delay. Finally, the passenger seat bracket design works very well. There's almost no movement in corners or hard braking. The flaps tie into the headrest, making contents accessible yet secure in the seat. The seat belt design can be tricky to secure, but once engaged, it holds the bag well. My only criticism is the weak top valve. The trunk is very small and not much can be stowed away. Also, there is no way to fold it up and hold the flap together to close the bag. All you have to do is fold it up and put it in your pocket as best you can to close the top flap. It would be nice if the pop up flap closed and closed the bag with a smoother motion.
