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

Made very well and though tout as all Maxpedition gear is, I own other products.

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.

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.

Love it. I had a maxpedition briefcase for many years, finally purchased this for my laptop. Very happy, well organized.

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

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+++++

This backpack is comfortable, seems like it is built very well, and I like the looks of it. The interior is a little small for normal sized folders and textbooks. A 3 ring binder would not sit flat i the bottom and must be wedged in the bag at an angle. Not the best bag for students.

All the quality and versatility of Maxpedition, but more versatile due to its non-tactical design. If you want the versatility and functionality of Maxpedition, but without the attention-drawing MOLLE straps., this is the gear line for you.

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.
