Almost perfect

by Bryce, Verified Owner from KY, United States Written on September 10, 2025
It was almost the perfect Edc backpack, built well, felt great, molle everywhere without looking too tacticool. The only problem was the carry pocket, it's just too small, I was hoping it would extend the whole length of the pack, but it's only the size of the zipper which is also too small, my pistol barely fits through the opening and hangs up on the draw. Returning and probably going to try the urban ghost out.
Pros:
  • build quality, comfort, style
Cons:
  • size of carry pocket
Would recommend: No

Great range day backpack!

by Giselle, from MD, United States Written on April 30, 2022
Great compartments for storing dope cards, small ammunition bags, laptop, etc. I love how sturdy the zippers and straps are! The padding outside and inside make it comfortable for walking and hiking. Perfect both for indoor and outdoor ranges. I highly recommend!

Elite Survival Systems Guardian EDC- everything you need and nothing you don’t

by Hotrod, from FL, United States Written on October 1, 2021
I have been a customer of Elite Survival Systems/Assault Systems for many years with gun cases. Their gun cases are superior to anything else out there. When I needed a backpack for a pistol, I was looking at my local gun shop and the new thing now is Vertx packs. I looked at the packs and I didn’t care for the materials or the zippers or the snap buttons on a couple of their packs, but I figured everyone was saying how great they were at the shop so I thought I’d get one. Then I saw the price. No thanks. I didn’t want to pay $200 for something I didn’t feel that the materials would hold up over time. I went home and started searching for a pack that was better made for a better price. I decided to see if Elite made a backpack and to my surprise, they do. Several. So I looked for a pack that fit my requirements and got the Elite Guardian EDC. I was torn between the Guardian and their Echo pack, but went with the Guardian because of the materials used. No regrets. I love this pack. The materials feel superior to the Vertx packs. The zippers are heavy duty, the nylon is thicker, the pack has Molle webbing all throughout to attach whatever you need, it’s padded where it needs to be and it’s 1/2 the cost of a Vertx pack. It doesn’t have an annoying waist belt attachment that you’re not going to use and it’s got enough room to store things you need in a EDC or short hike backpack. I also love the trifecta color- It’s a tactical pack without looking like a tactical pack. I was so i...

Tactical Backpack

by Clay, from WY, United States Written on July 26, 2020
High quality and made strong. It has heavy duty zippers. Inside has attachments to secure and customize your items. Easy access zippered water bottle/ ammo magazines each side. The concealed carry compartment has access each side. Very accessible and customizable for right or left hand access. It will completely conceal and secure, AND Most importantly, allow quick,stable drawing of firearms. For reference, I use it with a Glock Gen 4 G 20.
