I've never seen a Jumbo, so I can't compare it, but my Colossus works great for me. I too wanted the water bottle holder, so I picked up on3 of their add on attachments. Even with a full bottle of water, my G27 w/ spare mag, a Kershaw JYD and Muk on it, plus assorted other odds and ends, it's still very wearable for quick day hikes. ![[Linked Image from i732.photobucket.com]](http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww329/sodigthisbigcrux/002.jpg) [/quote] You're exactly right, and their website is a little misleading... "For those who need something larger than their Jumbo™, we now offer the COLOSSUS™ Versipack™..." It really isn't that much bigger, if at all. I used to carry a Timbuk2 bag as my EDC but it didn't hold my gun very well and I wanted something smaller. There are also times when I wish I could pack around a full sized notebook, but it's a small trade at this point. You're right though, Wig, and consumers should take note! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> [/quote]

I'm saving all the duct tape and super glue that I can. With all these new knife purchases there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford truck repair if a problem should arise. I'll need something to hold her together.

I love threads like this. Always getting new ideas. Although reading them does have the side effect of costing money for new toys I see...

Gideon, Do you ever have any trouble with dirt or mud with that color, I know it's an unusual question. My wife was wondering because I got her the khaki foilage but we also like the khaki plain. So I though I would ask someone who has one. It might also be a diaper bag! Or so I have just been told <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> No, not at all. Dirt and even mud wipes off easily. I've had mine out quite a few times and it looks new. Now, I don't know about crap, should a diaper leak <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Im getting ready to order one of these Jumbo's.
Question I have,I am right handed,
should I order the bag to carry on the left?
Is it fairly waterproof/resistant?
Right now I use a Black Diamond Bullet small Daypack
for trips in the woods or town while camping.
Holds a rainjacket,camera,and whatnot.
What I like is it is comfortable with its 2 straps on the back,
what I dont is you have to take it off,then unzip the clamshell
flap to get anything out of it.
Not really designed to go in and out of often.
Hopefully the Jumbo will be what I am looking for.
Thanks. i'm right handed and i have the Jumbo that carries on the right side of my frame. This puts the water bottle holder at the rear. If i drink lots of water while strolling, i swap it the my left side, so the water bottle is in the fornt

ok, I posted this in the pygmy falcon thread but will post here as well, as it seems to relate to both threads. Here goes.
Question? Has anybody had any experience with the maxpedition malaga? I like the pygmy, but am really looking for a single strap carry-all in a size bigger than the Jumbo but less than the pygmy. The Malaga seems to POSSIBLY fit the bill. I would like to have the bag hang on my back or on the left side, leaving my strong (right) side uncluttered.
