I just purchased this bag and it arrived today. Only looking at this review so as to re-inform myself as to all of its features. But I can say when I opened the box and pulled it out and added a few of its accessories and loaded it up I was extremely happy with it. Super quality.
Just ordered one ......with some customers feed back and alittlt tweeting this line is going to dominate the market !!!! Love how they feel and look !!
Thank you for this great review. I have considering purchasing this bag as a bug out option to keep a low profile instead of a tact-i-cool bag. I appreciate the thorough feature demonstration
I love this line, & it’s long overdue. I love everything about this pack, except one major omission... no proper water bottle pockets. Very disappointing. It’s so close to being the perfect pack... for me. I’ll wait for the water bottle pockets.
Same old , same old. I agree completely. Maxpedition does this all the time. I love the bag but just don't understand why they don't add this "simple" option. Classic fail, again. I guess I will look closer at the Vertx.
Is an outside water pocket that big of a feature for everybody? I prefer keeping my water bottle inside: looks cleaner from the outside and it'll never accidentally fall out. Or you can get an a bag with MOLLE and add a water bottle holder. www.vanquest.com/products/hydra-water-bottle-holder.html
Phafanapolis from my conversations it seems like a lot of people want an external water bottle holder, but I tend to agree it’s more streamlined to have your bottle inside.
I like the simplistic and unassuming appearance of the pack. It doesn't draw unwanted attention which to me is better personally is an added bit of security figuratively speaking...
While I would still throw some of Maxpedition's other bags into the Grey Man category without hesitation, this would definitely be at the tip of that proverbial spear. I don't have it, but it seems great from what you've said and I'll keep in mind for future purchases. Thanks for the review Tim!
This looks a lot like the Vertx Gamut, which is my favorite pack, so I'm excited about this pack. I actually wrote this pack off when I first saw it because I hated those hideous magnetic wings on the front, but you're right, you can't even tell they're stored when tucked away! I didn't know they would do that. Anyway, I'm excited about this line! Thanks Tim!
Hey! Just wanted to let you know I included you in my description box after doing a comparison between the Legion Day pack and the Entity 21. I really enjoyed your review on the bag. Good job!
Great pack. Just wish it had an external water bottle pocket (each to their own) But personally a bottle on the inside can leak....and being on the move I want quick access to it and not to STOP and dig around for a water bottle. Think the Vertx gamut 2.0 is looking better all the time.
It's a great pack! Stuffed a 5 kilo sack of rice in the laptop compartment as I made a grocery run for coronavirus stayhome stint. Cycled home with the rice, lentils, green beans, a carton of milk, a can of Spam (our local Singaporean equivalent) and a loaf of bread. Did its job well as an SHTF bag. (PS. How do I be racist against my own race without being racist? I don't want to associate with being Chinese.... JK JK....am I?)
The bag looks cool. Love the interior of the main compartment. The internal hook and loop is a great choice but the external accessories are a dud to me. And looking at the entire line, the 27 and sling pack don't seem as functional as a falcon 3 or a Malaga bag. I'm more excited about the new legacy and agr products coming later honestly. Great review as always!
I would cover up that brand label all day long. Anything Maxpedition automatically tells me expensive bag with, very likely, good quality and equally expensive items in it. Good luck bugging out or getting home with that thing.
I like it, but would need to see a larger version before I replaced my military type soft rucks. I'd like to see a large outer pocket on the part that floors forward when unzipped. I like an additional outer pocket, large enough for a trade paperback or something similar.
Great review maybe I will get rid of covrt 18 backpack and go for a maxpedition backpack.....I just know don't which one should go for ? Maybe I'll go the entiry 23...maybe 👀 😊
Like the low visibility look of the bag. The down side for me would be that it doesn't have enough organisation. I like a dedicated organisation pocket or panel on the front of the bag (like th 5.11 Rush 24) which unfortunately this pack doesn't have. If it did it'd be the perfect EDC bag for me. Almost there, but not quite.
Features and organization look pretty great. The grey outside, though, just looks ugly to me. Like cheap outdoor furniture upholstery, maybe. (And this is on a computer, maybe it all looks lovely in person). I don't like the looks of a lot of Venque packs, either, which look similar to me.
The VertX Slingbags came out in the same color this year, the 2018 version, Heather Black, how much easier do you think it is to draw from CC from their system vs this system of their CC compartment?
How about the stress on your back? That's what's got me spoiled by frames lol. My current pack with everything is quite heavy, but on my back it's rather light
Too expensive. We need to exert downward market pressure by buying budget bags (SOG, for example), until Maxpedition gets a clue. $190 for a backpack is cray cray.
I really like the design language and style of SOG bags. If you think this bag is pricey, check out the $$$ that Triple Aught Design is asking for a multicam black EDC pack. ;-)
It's pretty ugly. When you opened it all I could think was that it resembled a baked potato that someone ate the middle out of and left the peel. I'll pass.

I love everything about this bag. Currenly saving for it now.
I really dig the back pack. Very Simple and Low Key looking. I can see my testing this in the EDC bag also!
Yeah man - solid bag. Thanks for watching man.
Thank you for this great review. I have considering purchasing this bag as a bug out option to keep a low profile instead of a tact-i-cool bag. I appreciate the thorough feature demonstration
MoveWise Chiropractic sure thing. Glad it helped out.
I like the “grey man” look to the bag. Make a good get home bag but I do like my water bottle on the outside of my bags.
Yeah I've heard that issue from other people too.

I was thinking the same thing. ALMOST perfect. But for $200 I will keep looking for my next urban pack.
It does seem strange so many bags lack that. I agree.

All around good looking line of bags! Being able to not stand out is the way to go!
Agreed - fitting in is the best approach.

Thanks for watching.
love that you carry your Bible with you
Always.

Thanks LB - and cool about the magnets, right? So well hidden.

Thanks for letting me know Elizabeth. Can you send me a link?

That should be it. I had a problem trying to copy link lol
Love the design and the quality is always there with Maxpedition but $180?! Wow. I'll stick with my 5.11 Covert 18
Love this pack. Hopefully they will be available in Germany soon.
Great pack. Just wish it had an external water bottle pocket (each to their own) But personally a bottle on the inside can leak....and being on the move I want quick access to it and not to STOP and dig around for a water bottle.

Love the greyman look would love to see a cell phone pouch.
It's a great pack!

Like the urban look. I would need a smaller bag however.
Sling bag maybe?
I like it, but would need to see a larger version before I replaced my military type soft rucks. I'd like to see a large outer pocket on the part that floors forward when unzipped. I like an additional outer pocket, large enough for a trade paperback or something similar.
Lots of good features for sure. Good one Tim
Great review maybe I will get rid of covrt 18 backpack and go for a maxpedition backpack.....I just know don't which one should go for ?
Maybe I'll go the entiry 23...maybe 👀 😊
Awesome pack!

I agree - needs more internal organization.
Nice backpack
Good for around the city, on the train or metro
better waterbottle pocket would be nice
I like the quality and build of the Maxpedetion line. Will a 1 quart Nalgene bottle fit in that side pocket?
The packs ok but I was more interested in the tactical jacket your wearing. Condor?
I would be careful with those magnets and cards with magnetic strips. (i.e. Debit, i.d., Credit etc etc)
good video thanks
Looks great, a bit pricey. Does it come with the holster and that hook and loop organizer or are those extra?
Both of those are extras.
Im getting cause cops like stoping me and following me with my 511 moab lmao 🤣
Great video, can you remove the waist & sternum straps? can you fit a water bottle in side pocket? thanks
Features and organization look pretty great. The grey outside, though, just looks ugly to me. Like cheap outdoor furniture upholstery, maybe. (And this is on a computer, maybe it all looks lovely in person). I don't like the looks of a lot of Venque packs, either, which look similar to me.
Is there a giveaway on this pack? Looks great for conciel carry, just not sure how it slings forward for instant access ?
my pack needs to hold water bottles
Would be nice to have a spot to put a water bottle.
Agreed - water-bottle holders are missing on many packs these days.
The VertX Slingbags came out in the same color this year, the 2018 version, Heather Black, how much easier do you think it is to draw from CC from their system vs this system of their CC compartment?
Sorry I don't own the Vertx one.
Question, how does this pack compare to a pack with a frame in terms of being carried? I got a Tenzing pack and am spoiled by its frame lol.
Zarkaithnia I found kept its shape well, but I don’t think it will keep it shape as well as the back with an internal frame.
How about the stress on your back? That's what's got me spoiled by frames lol. My current pack with everything is quite heavy, but on my back it's rather light
Zarkaithnia if I were carrying a lot of gear for a while, I’d go with something from their AGR line.
not my kind bag but looks well made atb stuart
Can u carry a camelbak in the laptop pocket ??? how much litres ?
I just cannot like this bag. I feel like it would make me look like a ninja turtle and it just looks like a diaper bag
LOL - you can be a hero in a half-shell!
I agree it’s quite ugly.
...so it works! (people will thinknit's a diaper bag!!!)
What sweater is that?
Not sure. From Walmart I think?
Will it fit m92 pap pistol?
How much did this pack cost
Too expensive. We need to exert downward market pressure by buying budget bags (SOG, for example), until Maxpedition gets a clue. $190 for a backpack is cray cray.
I really like the design language and style of SOG bags.
If you think this bag is pricey, check out the $$$ that Triple Aught Design is asking for a multicam black EDC pack. ;-)
Dude seriously this is outrageous, features are lacking drastically compared to vertx and it’s 200 bucks for a 23L. Insane
What happened to your goruck journey?!
Do you have a link for the body armor?
You can Google Premier Body Armor. Lots of sizes and options.
EverydayTacticalVids thank you.
I hate it, I prefer AGR, and the original, this one looks cheap, and no water bottle place.
Wow what a rip off of the vertex gamut
I'm surprised to see next to each other a bible and a gun....
It's pretty ugly. When you opened it all I could think was that it resembled a baked potato that someone ate the middle out of and left the peel. I'll pass.
