Maxpedition Entity 27 CCW-Enabled Laptop Backpack 27L (Charcoal)

Tough. Comfortable. Well made.

I like this backpack a lot and its not as obvious as some of the other backpacks with molle all over it. The compartments are roomy and the zippers and pulls are very well made. The computer compartment has plenty of room for a 15 laptop and tablet. The main compartment has two zippered pouches and side pockets. It also has two outside side compartments for charging cables, pens and other accessories. There are also two back-side zippered pockets for conceal carry. I have traveled with this bag all over the world in about a year and it has held up very well.

Awesome backpack

I upgrade to this from a Maxpedition Falcon II because I wanted to move away from that tacticool look. Ive used this backpack for about 5 months now and I can confidently say I dont think backpacks can get any better. There are a couple of complaints Ive seen in the reviews and I wanted to address those: 1 - The side pockets are zippered at an awkward angle. This is backpack is designed for concealed carry. There are handles on the side of the backpack so you can sling it to the front of you body without having to fully take it off your back and still have one strap around one of your arms. These side pockets are designed to be accessed from that type of carry. People dont seem to realize this. 2. The water bottle holders on the outside of the pack suck. Agreed. BUT - they also included INTERNAL water bottle holders that work perfectly and can even accommodate a 32 oz nalgene bottle. I only use the external water bottle pockets for quick access, flat items like gum or whatever. 3. - There is no outside pocket. I dont see this an an issue as there is ample organization options in the main compartment that I can access as easily as if there were an outside pocket. Plus if you use the internal water bottle pockets, then you can drop stuff in those outside pockets if you really need them that available. Also the two main compartments have an option for TSA locks. Less unsecure pockets = a potentially more secure bag. Overall, I can tell a lot of love went into designing all this backpack. I was a huge Maxpedition fan before. After experiencing the quality and attention to detail on this pack Ill never buy a backpack from any other brand. Worth every cent.

Ive looked at Maxpedition gear for a few years now, and never really gone down that road - until now. Always settled for something a little cheaper, a little gaudier, a little...less than. But I kept eyeballing this gear for the appearance, the NTT (non tactical tactical), and the reviews - which were usually glowing - until I finally pulled the trigger (so to speak). A very solid, well crafted work of art. Its as fun to wear as it is to load up with gear. Every seam, every zipper, every aspect is designed for form AND function. Very satisfied.

Im a business traveler on the road almost every week. This backpack is comfortable to wear and easy to use. It fits a phenomenal amount of stuff in the main compartment. The construction is top notch. Of course, one of the main reasons I bought it was I needed a backpack that could take a beating week in and week out and the reviews and Maxpeditions reputation let me know I was getting a quality product. If I had to quibble, my right shoulder strap is starting to show a bit of wear near the friction adaptor. Its staring to feel a bit roug, like it might fray. This may be normal, but it seems

Not big enough to fit clothes for a week long vacation. Good enough as a range backpack or as 1 or 2 day getaway. Its definitely smaller than youd think

Very comfortable to have on your back even with a laptop in the pouch. Very durable. Plenty of storage. Love that it has a carry concealed section. Glad I bought it!

Well worth the money !! I carry my folded Galil 556 inside this bag pack, so so much quality on this bag. Lots and lots of pockets and zippers, you will not regret. Plus it does not look like a gun bag, highly recommend AAAAA+++++

I really wanted to like this pack. I researched it, but once I got my hands on it, I found too many short comings. First, the water bottle pockets have no stretch to them. This means that the bottle prevents you from using the pocket underneath. Second, the CCW pocket was great, but shouldn’t a CCW pack have a dedicated pocket for a Level IIIa plate? I knew this going in and thought I could jury rig something, but for $165 it should have a dedicated pocket. The other issues i had were minor and I might have over looked them had it not been for these first two. This pack has lots of good features: generous laptop sleeve and quality materials. the modularity of the add-on hook&loop pockets is nice… but at $20 each they add to the overall cost. By the time I had set up the pack I was into it for the same as a Gamut 2.0… so that is what I traded in for. Much happier too. Sorry Maxpedition…. but I did try your pack first.
