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

You get Maxpediton durability without looking like a militia man. Good to go unnoticed but has the build quality without drawing attention to yourself. Two criticisms. Needs an attachment for h20 bladder. And the bottle holders are kind of useless. I kinda with they has a velcro attachment down in so they could function as a pocket. I will probably modify it once the newness wears off. Great pack though. I got the 27, felt its a good size for everyday carry.

I read a review when researching this product that said I will buy this backpack and only this backpack for the rest of my life and I couldnt agree more. I use it as an everyday carry bag for emergency supplies, work gear, and my CCW. This pack has robust quality and so much thought into it. Its worth every penny

Zipper is rough, I prefer YKK zippers but its not going to break anytime soon. The waterbottle pouches are a bit tight for a Nalgene but if you dont pack the bag to its gills theyre fine. Laptop pocket is extremely padded on the sides but could have better padding on the bottom. Overall build quality is fantastic, very tough bag with great grab handles.

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

I purchased this bag to replace an STM bag that Id carried with me for years. I read as many reviews as I could, watched countless YouTube videos and decided to take the plunge with this one. Overall, Im not blown away. I think there is a very specific form and function this bag serves, Im not sure its 100% for me. I wanted a durable bag that has strong zippers, and wont wear out in a year. One of the main components that I was looking for in a Tactical style bag was that it had an easily accessible sleeve for a laptop. This bag offers an easily accessible sleeve for a laptop - but the fit is very sloppy on my 15 MacBook Pro. It would easily fit a 17 laptop, but it doesnt hold the laptop in place at all. If you were using this with a 13 laptop it would be WAY too loose. I dont plan on using the CCW features of this bag - however should the need arise, Im glad its there. The storage pockets are well built - zippered pouches galore - lots of room for all your bits and pieces. Time will ultimately tell if this is the right bag for me - but overall my impressions are bleh... I feel like for the price I should have gotten something much more substantial and the features should warrant the price. In this bag, I dont feel like they do.

this bag is expensive but very well made, strong and holds up carrying heavy stuff without any tears or damage.

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.

I bought this as an overnight business travel bag, and returned it immediately. It is quite large. Would be fine as a backpack travel bag for 2-3 day trips.

The entity 27L fits my daily needs without looking tactical. I tend to carry it only using one shoulder strap. Fits 15.5 laptop in laptop sleeve w/power pack and cord all in the laptop area. It will fit Nalgene 32oz bottle but you cant have the pocket behind it stuffed, I store folding knife in that pocket an ear buds. The other pocket i carry cell phone charger, power pack w/cables, pens, markers, in the outside pocket I carry id badge and tie it to side handle, able to scan it without taking it off my shoulder. Inside the main I carry couple folders, lunch bag, multi tool, fixed blade, small umbrella, plenty of room left, put my keys inside pocket. In the picture Nalgene 32oz fits no problem the other pocket packed with stuff fits thermos travel mug but tight fit. Now it would be nice if they put a zipper on the side pockets so they could be expandable like on Entity crossbody bag. I also had the 23L bag and felt it was to small for my needs the 27 is perfect for daily routine and travel. The CCW is not lockable, the zippers are somewhat hidden and compartment rest against back but plenty of padding. As with anything and being responsible I wouldnt leave it unattended if you have CCW in it, locking it in main pack doesnt stop someone from taking pack and its only a zipper.

This is the backpack I now carry to work or anywhere Ill need my laptop and tech gear. Im a ham radio operator and carry 4 handheld radios, upgraded antennas for all, headset, spare batteries, a 3 amp/hour 12 volt LiFePo battery to run my laptop on if the battery gets low, numerous cables, adapters, USB power pack, hand mics for the radios, my rain jacket, various elements of EDC gear such as emergency blankets, leatherman, and other stuff too numerous to mention. Its packed full, and is easy to carry. Love the side handles! I really like just about everything about this pack. Its rugged and looks really clean and anonymous.
