Switchblade

I love the layout of this pack! Everything is great about it except the CCW pouch. There were some roughed up threads along the opening and when I reached in I found that the hook and loop fabric inside was tearing away from the inner seams. It would be nice to have a little bit of reinforcement there being as it will take the most abuse when inserting or removing your weapon. It's not a make or break since it can't be seen but it is disappointing. I love the admin section in the lid for organizing smaller items. The extra pockets in the main compartment are well thought out. I would appreciate a way to attach the laptop/water bladder and document sleeves to the back of pack to make better use of the molle and to keep them out of the way when I want to load it with larger items.

Great quality bag! Very happy with it!

Solid pack

I recently purchased the Jackknife and I was impressed with the quality but the pack was just a bit too small for what I need. So I returned that pack and picked up the Switchblade. This pack is the perfect size for my needs. I pack my computer, work clothes, towel, shoes, toiletries, water bottle, EDC, magazines and sometimes SBR with ease.

The quality of pack is impressive. I hike and sometimes trail run before work with the pack and the shoulder straps are very comfortable. The back of the pack breathes very well. The zippers are solid, the only thing I have found is when I carry my SBR and hike sometimes the zippers work there way open if you close them at the top dead center of the pack. I close them so they meet in the front of the pack. Nothing a s-biner can’t fix.

Overall a very impressive pack and I would recommend it to anyone that needs to carry a days worth of things whether it’s to the office or day trip in the backcountry.

Excellent quality, above and beyond storage space and options for its size. Comfortable to carry and convenient to access on the go. Everything I need and then some!

I like the Bag. There are some things that I find very lovely and some things that are a little upsetting. The weight distribution is fantastic. I put about 60 pounds in the bag, and it felt great all day. Now, the one thing I would prefer to avoid is that I have to lean it against something for it to stay up straight. I do find this frustrating, but I understand why it does this. One for easy access to your things in the bag, but if you don't lean it against something, it is hard to pull your sidearm out. Overall a great bag, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I love this bag. It has great organization, it’s durable and well made. My disappointment with this pack is the straps. The material on the under side of the straps is similar to a Brillo pad or sand paper. If you are wearing a jacket or thick shirt no problem. But it will rub your shoulders raw with a thin shirt or if you were to hike without a shirt for a period of time.

The pack is so well thought out and well done otherwise it’s a shame that the straps are so uncomfortable. It would be nice if you offered a different material or strap set up. I’ve used many mountaineering packs and rock climbing packs and the straps were much better.
