> 3 dayAll 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.

Greater than one weekI 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.

08-06-2025You 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.

Greater than one weekNot 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

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayProbably also good on the trail as well. Fits everything I need with room to spare for extras (coat, change of clothes, etc) Only minor gripe is item accessibility—as someone who previously carried messenger bags/gearslingers, it is a little more difficult to get access to items. Though this is just the trade-off for more comfortable carry and less chance of back issues down the road. Ultimately the bag is fairly easy to slip off one arm (or release the buckle clasp) and get the bag across your side when needed. But getting it back on is a minor challenge in crowded areas. Worth investing in the different mountable pocket options to hold frequent use items more accessibly.

> 3 dayVery 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!

> 3 dayIm 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
