Being a contractor requires constant travel outside the U.S. but luckily for me, I rarely have to maintain a low visibility look, so I can have Multicam bags for my gear. If I’m going for a week-long trip I really only need to take this Kit bag by T3. I can fit my helmet, plate carrier, 2 pairs of pants, a pair of shorts, my hydration bladder, all my normal clothes, NVG’s, a couple logs of the ever so delicious Copenhagen wintergreen, My Macbook, and any other extra gear I may need such as fins, extra pair of boots or even a couple pairs of Altama Maritime Assault boots. This bag has “so much room for activities” that I can be gone for a week and only take the kit bag and a backpack, and I’m usually a heavy packer.
T3 Gen 2 Kit Bag
The T3 Gen 2 Kit bag really nailed all soft spots of normal kit bags. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had kit bags develop moisture on planes or ships. The T3 3-day Pack is made of the same material that the Gen2 Kit bag is made of. And that’s what really drew me to it. I’ve never had moisture get inside my 3-day pack and it has been soaked top to bottom in saltwater. T3 really makes all-weather gear for affordable prices.
The T3 Gen 2 Kit bag is basically a revamped version of their old model. I cannot comment on their old kit bag as I never used theirs, but if it’s half as good as the Gen 2 bag, I think I might buy one. The T3 Gen 2 Kit bag really molds to your gear when using the shoulder straps and that’s usually a downside, but in this case, it’s very comfortable. It is soft lined so when we’re talking about using these types of bags don’t be the guy that put $10000 NVG’s in your pack wrapped up in a towel or anything. Put them in the hard case, I mean it is a kit bag after all, not a pelican case.
Construction
The shoulder straps are very comfortable when you throw them on your shoulder. Although they do require some adjusting out of the gate. Going from point A to Point B in-between our RHIB Launching platforms or the planes we fly in is my main priority. And that’s where I really gained respect for this kit bag compared to others. Another great aspect is the Dual-side closure so if you need to grab something on the top quickly you can. Or if you need to really get in the kit bag you can open the other side.
The T3 Gen2 Kit bag repels moisture by using weather-resistant 10 point zippers. 500D Cordura®, fabric that is very durable and even softens with time and wear, maintaining its durability. Along with all the specs comes the lifetime warranty of a product that is built to be abused. It even says it on their website. My favorite part about T3 is the fact that all of their products are made right here in the red white and blue capital of the world – the USA. The dimensions for the T3 Gen 2 Kit bag are 19″x22″x12″ and it only weighs a little under 3 lbs. The T3 Kit bag collapses for easy storage and that’s probably my favorite part of it. It doesn’t take up much room in my locker at work or even at home in my closet.
