I haven’t written anything about Maxpedition in a while. Mostly because over time I’ve developed a preference for more “grey man” looking packs. That’s not to say that I don’t have packs with external PALS webbing or other tactical features for Everyday Carry. For instance, I have a classic TAD Litespeed that I love and refuse to get rid of. But, for the most part, the packs I carry most of the time are not designed for tactical use (like the Boundary Supply Prima System) or they have hidden tactical features (like the Vertx Gamut). That is why Maxpedition’s new Entity series peaked my interest.
Maxpedition Entity 27
The Entity Series will feature backpacks in three different sizes – 27, 23, and 21 liters. There will also be a 16L sling. All of the bags are made from 500D Kodra nylon with a Polyurethane coating. Each features a good amount of organization for EDC and provides the ability for off-body concealed weapon carry. Here’s a video that demonstrates many of the features.
I’m not a huge fan of non-removable sternum straps on packs of this size. I wonder if the side organization pouch would steal space making it difficult to carry a 32-ounce Nalgene in the water bottle pocket. And I wish they would have went with a yoke harness vs. directly attaching the straps to the pack.
Other than that, the Entity Series looks pretty good on paper. The design reminds me of the Vertx Gamut but with added depth to carry bulkier items. It certainly offers another option if you’re looking for a CCW capable urban friendly pack that doesn’t scream tactical. Prices range from $159.99 to 219.99 and they should be available for sale in March 2018 via Maxpedition’s website.
