22 customers mention13 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the backpack. Some mention it fits perfectly into the overhead bin in an airplane, it has great adjust-ability so it's amazing for hiking and off road motorcycle usage, and it'll easily fit a 13'' MacBook Pro. However, others say that everything is slightly smaller than expected, the shoulder straps are too narrow, and the shoulder pads are a little narrow for their build.

"...tactical looking but still has attachments points and is not a super huge pack but big enough for a edc but i use mine for a tech bag fits my..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the zipper. Some mention it's well made with excellent zippers, strong, and easy to find and engage.

8 customers mention0 positive8 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the thickness of the backpack. They mention that the webbing is cheap, thin nylon that frays easily, the shoulder straps are way too thin, and the material used is horrible. The entire bag is made of cheap, non durable material that will tear. The straps come loose all the time, and are too narrow. The chest strap becomes a choker, and it lacks many features and poor design.

"...I think it is because the stitching is so thick! They could have add a little more padding! Solution, keep it high on your back!..." Read more

"...The shoulder straps are thin and virtually no padding, the webbing is thin cheap junk, other than the pockets and overall look it is a complete no go..." Read more

"...day hikes in this bag not due to a lot of stuff mind you, but the poor design. As stated my Sitka actually fit MORE gear than this...." Read more

"...is a nice seat belt material it’s so slick that the straps come loose all the time...." Read more

Wonderful Travel Backpack

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019

Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I fly a lot and wanted the largest backpack that I could take on a plane as my "personal item" but not incur a carry-on fee. I'm not sure if the backpack dimensions are technically within airline specifications but over the course of at least 20 flights across multiple airlines I've never had any issues. It easily fits under the seat of any airplane. Now there are a lot of these utility backpacks out there but I love Maxpedition and they are the most durable bags on the planet. Through years of abuse every Maxpedition item still looks brand new. What is most impressive about Maxpedition bags are their zippers. They are the strongest zippers I've seen anywhere which is important when you're cramming a lot of clothes into your carry-on. The other day I was coming back from an overseas trip and a guy in line behind me asked me where I got this bag. He thought it was the coolest backpack he'd ever seen. You can't go wrong with this.

The perfect EDC Bag

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018

Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

This backpack is awesome! I use it every single day. The bag is extremely well made. I don't see any signs of wear, even after a year of daily use. It's modular enough that I use it as a daily commute to work bag, day hiking backpack, and weekend overnight trip backpack. It easily fits my 13'' Mac Book pro and whatever else I need during most day or weekend trips. It also fits perfectly into the overhead bin in an airplane.

This is my go to day bag. I use the middle velcro/molle compartment to hold an IFAK, a tool kit, and a first aid kit. Since they are in the middle compartment, those items are out of my way most of the time. I can effectively forget about them until I need them, which is perfect. I can then use the main compartment for items specific items that I might need that day, like laptop, changes of clothes, rain jacket, lunch, etc. I couldn't ask for a better bag.

Time will tell!

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

It’s built tough like Maxpedition bags! Nice looking bag! Doesn’t look too tactical out! However, I wonder if the zippers on the bag will hold up to rough use??? I wish the side had the built in pouch for your Nalgene bottle like the Sakita slinger. Only time will tell the true test of toughness! More to follow!
Update: it’s been about three weeks since I started using this as my EDC. It’s small enough to go with you in all places! I been to an amusement park twice and 4th of July town festival all day! It feels nice and comfortable as long as you keep it higher on your back! For some reason if you wear it lower the webbing that faces forward from the straps dig in a little and rub on your shoulders a little! I think it is because the stitching is so thick! They could have add a little more padding! Solution, keep it high on your back! The CCW compartment is great however I rarely use it, it’s more of a back up place to holster my weapon! If you CCW, it’s always better to have on you in the waistband anyways! Great for extra mags! It could hold a 3 liter water bladder easily in the back compartment! Still need more time to tell! More to follow!

Great For Hiking and Air Plane Personal Item

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2019

Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased this to use as a carry on personal item when I travel by plane. It fits perfectly underneath the seat in front of me.
The middle pocket has enough room to hold my 12.9” iPad Pro. The main compartment has room to hold my CamelBak 3L hydration bladder And GoPro equipment when I use this for hiking. So far this pack is holding up well. I just used it on a day hike in Maui. The hip strap and chest strap help keep the pack in place while running and climbing. I highly recommend this pack.

Awesome product

Reviewed in Germany on October 16, 2023

Size: One SizeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Awesome product and perfect for me, got all the features I could ever want. The part that rests against my back took a little getting used to, as it's bumpy to allow for airflow and to make things in the hidden compartment not stick out into your back.

Reviewed in Canada on June 18, 2020

Size: One SizeColor: TanVerified Purchase

Product quality is insane. Double and triple reinforced at every seam. Storage options for EDC gear and other small tools/items is almost endless. A couple of things I would point out to would-be buyers:

1. The pack is small. 23L makes for a small-ish experience, particularly for larger people. At 6.1 and 220lbs the pack looks a tad small.

2. The color is a lot darker than the image depicts on Amazon. Under low-light conditions it nearly looks Olive Drab or Green.

3. The pack is tactical in every sense of the word. I thought it would have a bit more of a "gray man" look to it (based on the images). It absolutely lacks a civilian look if that is what you are seeking.

Overall, this is one the most premium, purpose-built packs I have ever come across. Excellent for short trips, carry-conceal options (not available in Canada) and could, in theory, work has an EDC bag.
