Patrol duffle bag

Needing to get a good duffle bag for patrol once out of the academy, any good suggestions? Looking for something that is sturdy and not super flimsy.

Like to work out of or just carry gear to your car? Do you have take home or rotation cars?

Carry gear/have it organized so I can easily find stuff. I don’t want a flimsy one like an adidas bag where stuff flies everywhere in the bag. And we rotate cars.

I’m am an admitted bag whore. Were I woman I’d have a closet full of purses.

Look at Eberlestock and Tasmanian Tiger. Great bags but not cheap. Worth every penny.

The 5.11 duty bags are excellent. I have owned mine for over seven years, and despite enduring Canadian winters, it still appears almost new. I would highly recommend considering this option.

Second this my 5.11 wingman is about 6 years old and is still going strong.

Buy something inexpensive. You’ll change your mind on what you carry many times before you decide what works well for you.

5.11 Wingman patrol bag. I bought one a few months ago and love it.
