Blackhawk Advanced Tactical Briefcase

Ordered as a replacement for the backpack I was using that was having wear issues. This briefcase is well made and the material seems to be very robust and well stitched. It should stand up to a lot of use. Lots of little pockets and pouches, which if you have small items are O.K. However, if you have a long range ballistic calculator, or laptop of any size to transport, this one comes up a bit short on room. The main pocket is lined with a membrane of some sort (rubber, PVC, etc.) to help keep the contents dry. But, if you live or travel to a humid climate I've found it to be a bit problematic with condensation. My only big dislike is that the carry handle is off center as is the whole bag's configuration. Which is fine if you are only going to use the shoulder strap, but if you set it down it is going to roll over onto its front, and using the handle it is a bit awkward.

Very well made and high quality materials used. This thing is STURDY. It is very stiff at first and tends to topple forward at first due to the stiffness of the padding around the laptop compartment. This relaxes after awhile and it becomes more stable sitting upright. Not a "patrol" briefcase but does hold a laptop, two portables, a couple folios, and odd gadgets with no problem.

Received the item promptly after ordering it. First impression was very good. This is not the first product I purchased from Blackhawk so I knew their products are well made and this was not an exception. However, I did compared it to the bag its replacing which is also from Black hawk and noticed a few little things. The strap its not as thick as the previous one and the rings it attaches to are made out of plastic and not metal like the ones from my old bag. The zipper part for the main computer compartment its kind of obstructed by the plastic rings for the strap. I love the front pockets, the ease in which the bag opens when unlatching the buckles and the overall size. Overall I'm very pleased with the purchase and will recommend it to anybody who is looking for a good looking, sturdy and durable bag for either patrol work or traveling abroad.
