Looking for a multi-functional, medium sized gear bag that can conceal a firearm, hold a laptop and accommodate all of your day-to-day gear? Well, look no farther. 5.11 Tactical’s Side Trip Bag serves as a briefcase, gear bag and travel bag all in one. We’ve packed this businesslike bag with features that will offer the operator or officer a professional looking and durable briefcase. A large hidden pocket with our Backup Belt System™/Velcro®-compatible panel provides you with a compartment to secure a firearm and associated accessories. The pocket entrance is just under the carry handle and sealed with Velcro® for quick access. The inner lining is lined with loop Velcro® which allows you to attach our holster pouch to accommodate a handgun. The interior of the bag is a light grey for easy viewing of your stowed gear and the large exterior padded pocket can handle a laptop computer. The main compartment has a MOLLE/ALICE compatible panel for attaching additional MOLLE compatible pouches. The two smaller outer pockets feature organizational panels to help you keep your gear organized. Also the two side pockets are expandable for carrying water bottles or larger items. Like all 5.11 products, our Side Trip Bag has been tested and reviewed by officers and operators. We’ve taken their input to make sure this is not your ordinary nylon briefcase.

Durability
Durability is the name of the game with our Side Trip Bag. We use 1000-denier nylon throughout to give you a long lasting bag that can handle the weight of all your gear and accessories. The carrying handles are heavy-duty nylon with molded plastic lockable grips and won't fail under a heavy load. We use only quality YKK® zippers in our Side Trip Bag. We’ve triple stitched our handles to bear the weight of the your gear. This bag is designed to last so you’ll be carrying it for years to come.

The quality and versatility of the Side Trip Bag make this piece of equipment an exceptional value. It is the only bag you’ll need for day to day activities. Leave it to 5.11 to bring quality, functionality and value to our gear bag line.

      Comments about 5.11 Tactical Side Trip Briefcase:

      I was skeptical at first, owned many laptop cases doubling as tool kit...but I quickly became a fan of this bag upon it's arrival. Not only does it have plenty of room for my laptop, cables, test equipment, I have room left over for my tools. The design is spot on, it is rugged, no cheap plastic strap connectors or zippers. I am so impressed, I am thinking of getting another one for personal use. I would definately recommend this to anyone and for the price, I think it's one of the best.

            Comments about 5.11 Tactical Side Trip Briefcase:

            I purchased this product about 4 months ago because I wanted something different to replace my hard case seat organizer. It didn't have much room and was only built for a few specific things. Those organizers are not very good for customizing with different equipment. Plus it wasn't very secure on the seat.
            With the briefcase I put the seatbelt through the strap on the back of the bag and hang the shoulder strap around the head rest. It goes no where.

            The side trip briefcase is perfect for loading all of the gear I need in the front seat with me without taking up a lot of space. Plus I keep all of the pockets zipped until I need it in case of a wreck. That way I don't have things flying around if I get hit. No signs of wear and tear. Even better if you use a pool car and are constantly transfering gear to different cars.
            And if I even leave this line of work I can still use this unlike the old fashing seat organizers. Excellent product. Well done 5.11

            Comments about 5.11 Tactical Side Trip Briefcase:

            I spent several months looking for a cross between an equipment bag and a briefcase.

            Most equipment bags have one big compartment with no dividers and one or two side or front pouches that when stuff is in them take up interior space. Most soft briefcases are for laptops with plenty of dividers inside but not enough storage because it's for a laptop. Some travel type bags are similar to the equipment bags, one big compartment and no way to divide it. The only thing that I found and was discarded as a selection was the salesman type cases but almost all of them had the rollers and handle that make it too heavy to carry.

            I had just about given up on ever finding anything when I saw one at work. I was commenting on it to another worker how nice it looked when the owner said I couldn't have it. I got a better look at it a couple of days later and was impressed with it's storage and durability because it's 5.11. I ordered one and received it today so I'm ready to use it for work.
