5.11 Tactical Low-Vis Collection

When your day-to-day is always changing, so should your EDC. Depending on the loadout, you might need to rely on bags of varying sizes and features. But one thing that every EDC bag should do is provide quick, easy access to your gear without drawing much attention. That’s what 5.11 Tactical aims to deliver with their feature-packed, low-vis LV Collection of bags. The line-up of bags offers plenty of one-hand-optimized pockets and compartments at three different capacities to cover minimalist and expansive loadouts alike. Whether you’re looking for a discreet, compact sling to carry just the essentials or a low-profile, high-capacity daypack, 5.11’s new LV collection has you covered.


LV6 Waist Pack

If you focus on keeping your gear light but still want something you can rely on, then check out the LV6 Waist Pack. This small sling has a 3L capacity and a clever crossbody strap that can also be worn as a hip pack if you’re already wearing a backpack. Its 840D nylon construction will protect your essentials from bad weather and there’s even compression straps to help you maintain a discreet profile. On the front is a small zippered pocket perfect for items you need to access quickly like your keys or wallet, while the main compartment allows for larger items like notebooks and multitools. There’s also a hidden compartment in between the main compartment and an additional rear mesh pocket. And because it can be mounted to the lower front section of the LV18 Backpack, it's a versatile bag for both minimalist and all-day loadouts.

LV10 Sling Pack

For those looking for something with a larger capacity, there’s the LV10 Sling Pack. This pack has a 13L capacity and can fit plenty of gear for a day out. It too features 840D water-resistant nylon and has three pockets for organizing your gear. The main compartment has a padded tablet sleeve, loop laser-cut MOLLE along with a mesh zippered pocket for keeping track of your smaller items. On the front, there are two zippered compartments, including a fleece-lined phone or shades pocket to help prevent scratches. On the rear, there is loop lined compartment for hook/loop accessory attachment with Hot Pulls for quick and easy access. There’s also a collapsible water bottle pocket on the bottom, along with two tough handles so you can carry this bag in hand comfortably if you need to. Speaking of comfort, the LV10 Sling Pack also features a CAM buckle and wide shoulder strap to help distribute the weight across the entire shoulder.

LV18 Backpack

While slings and hip packs may work for some, those who have larger EDC’s will want to check out the 29L LV18 Backpack instead. In typical 5.11 fashion, the LV18 easily stores an expansive loadout in a low-profile thanks to its thoughtfully designed compartment layout . On the front is a medium-sized compartment with an integrated panel of laser-cut, MOLLE-compatible loops to let you fully customize what you need within reach. Whether you want a pouch of cables and battery packs for your electronics or a first-aid kit, it’ll fit perfectly right in here. Tucked behind this is an ambidextrous compartment with a loop platform and elastic bands included. The main compartment has a padded laptop sleeve that you can access from another dedicated access point as well. On each side is a collapsible water bottle pocket and the padded straps and sternum strap make carrying heavy gear much more doable. Best of all, you can mount the smaller LV6 Waist Pack to its exterior if you need just a little extra room on your next excursion.
