I'm sure any other cop out there can vouch for what's listed as normal stuff. And to be honest, that isn't near the amount of stuff that my other buddies have in their bags. Rambo? not me.

It's very important for me that the bag not add much to the weight of everything I have to carry. I love Velcro, so this might be the bag for me! How much does the bag weigh?

There was a fair bit of funding available, I wonder why nothing has "leaked" to the civilian side yet... 10 years ago, I saw a US Army solicitation for “quiet velcro” research.

I take mine with me to my day job which is in an office setting. I'm sure people 3 aisles over could hear when I open a compartment. ;) I agree that it all depends on where you’re going to be using the bag.

For an actual assault, your primary weapon is already in your hands. Your gear is attached to your tatical vest. You almost never have a use for anything you are carrying until after the shooting starts. Velcro is amazingly quiet when compared with gun fire, flashbang grenades, and sirens. :) All that said, I plan on purchasing one of these, my day to day job is programming heating and cooling systems. Mechanical rooms are noisy and I'm happier having my gear secure rather than quiet. Bags like this are handy for transporting misc gear to and from the range/staging area.

Police! Freeze! I wonder what people who use this bag for its intended purpose think? As many pockets as my Waterfield cargo bag has, I'm always game for more, however I'll get thrown out of class if I use this one. I'm always reaching into my bag. Great review though, thanks for shedding light on a new gear bag. :) I can imagine as your wrapping up your undercover sting operation..
