Reviews & Ratings for Maxpedition Falcon-II Backpack — 32 reviews — Page 1

This will be the last pack you will purchase. I have one in black that I have used in the field everyday for 8years. The only reason I have purchased a second one was because I wanted one in the tan color.

Very well built pack. It has a compartment for everything allowing for organization that wont leave you dumping your pack to find what is needed in a hurry. This is the best pack I owned, and the price is very reasonable for what you get. I will buy from this company in the future. Optics Planet is always helpful, informative, and continue to keep higher standards in products that they offer.

Rugged. Durable. Multiple Molle attachment points for accessories and expansion capabilities. Good weight distribution. Shoulder, chest and waist straps keep pack secure and comfortable on longer treks. I strongly recommend this pack.

I bought this pack to keep all my favorite gear organized and ready to go. Its a little smaller than I thought and for the price the quality could be a little better. It's very stiff. Other than that I still love the bag. It keeps everything very neat and I love the clam shell design for the main compartment. I still would recommend this bag as an edc or ghb.

Been meaning to chime-in for a while on this. I ordered mine from Optics Planet 2 or 3 years ago. At the time, I had been using an old Eddie Bauer pack that had actually been pretty good, both durable and reasonably functional for my needs, which are mostly laptop/work/travel-commute stuff, but it was on its very last legs ... threads! For a replacement, I was looking for a more serious upgrade. I searched and searched, read a lot of comments/reviews, both here and elsewhere, learning along the way about the intersecting applications of packs for EDC ("Every Day Commute"), BOB ("Bug Out Bag"), CNC ("Conceal-N-Carry"), and I'm sure one or two others that seem to slip my mind. I knew I wanted two straps, i.e. not a sling-type, because I all too often pack heavy but my body is built small and light, the result of which can resonate in my lower back.

Well, this Falcon-II kept popping up, with a few others, some also from Maxpedition, 511, Camelbak, etc. I read a lot, learned a lot, and, in the end, it boiled down to a question of toughness, looks, and would it hold my Dell Latitude E6510 laptop in one of the compartments.

Well, I'm no "TAC" or "Outfitter" expert; I still don't know the proper way to balance a loaded pack on my back but I know this pack would allow me to do that, with various adjustments in the shoulder and waist straps. However, I have had my pack with me "in the field", almost every day, for pushing-3-years now, and I can easily state the following about ...

This is my third Maxpedition pack, and I have never been disappointed, I have taken the gear to some not so nice places and it always out performs my expectations. Buy with confidence it's top of the food chain !!!!

This backpack is heavy duty for what I consider a day/overnight pack. It can be used in a variety of roles whether a day/overnight pack, car emergency/get home bag. Lots of compartments to store your stuff, plus one is able to hold a 100L water hydration bag with an outlet at the top to run your drinking tube through into the webbing of the shoulder strap.

Heavy duty material that is water resistant, this backpack is not huge by any means but holds plenty of stuff. With its four compartments and plenty of PALS webbing all over you'll enjoy packing your gear into it. The many compression straps make it easy to configure your pack for optimal carry.

I have gone through several backpacks and this is by far the best and most rugged. It has lasted several years while other competitors usually fall apart after a couple long trips. When I purchased this backpack about 2 years ago, I was hesitant about spending over $100 on a backpack. The quality of this backpack is excellent and the nylon used is excellent. Highly recommended.

Great pack....the quality meet and exceeded all my expectations. I use this for a survival or emergency pack and everything i need fits into the pack....the stitching is durable and strong. The OD green is a true military color, as i heard that a lot of military personal use this pack in real survival conditions.

Bag is just the right size for me. Material and zippers are a little stiff, but the bag is tuff as nails. I use it every day. I am in and out of vehicles all day, and bag has shown no wear. The only gripe would be is that the straps are a little stiff, but small sacrifice for such a tuff bag.
