Maxpedition Entity 27 CCW-Enabled Laptop Backpack 27L (Charcoal)

I traded in my Maxpedition sling bag for a less tactical look with the Elite 27. The downside is I miss the modular accessability. The shoulder strap mounted pouches are truly dorky looking. There are interior and exterior side zip pockets as well as side bottle pockets but if you fill the interior zip pockets the exterior ones can hold very little and water bottles do not fit. But Im sure the pack holds 27l of ping-pong balls somehow!

Perfect size for my needs. I can fit both of my laptops and their chargers in the laptop pouch. One 15” work laptop and one 16” personal laptop. Plenty of room in the main compartment for the rest of my needs. Side pockets hold a 32 ounce Nalgene bottle.

Great pack for conceal.

this bag is expensive but very well made, strong and holds up carrying heavy stuff without any tears or damage.

I got this for my son he wanted it and he said its very good.

I upgrade to this from a Maxpedition Falcon II because I wanted to move away from that tacticool look. Ive used this backpack for about 5 months now and I can confidently say I dont think backpacks can get any better. There are a couple of complaints Ive seen in the reviews and I wanted to address those: 1 - The side pockets are zippered at an awkward angle. This is backpack is designed for concealed carry. There are handles on the side of the backpack so you can sling it to the front of you body without having to fully take it off your back and still have one strap around one of your arms. These side pockets are designed to be accessed from that type of carry. People dont seem to realize this. 2. The water bottle holders on the outside of the pack suck. Agreed. BUT - they also included INTERNAL water bottle holders that work perfectly and can even accommodate a 32 oz nalgene bottle. I only use the external water bottle pockets for quick access, flat items like gum or whatever. 3. - There is no outside pocket. I dont see this an an issue as there is ample organization options in the main compartment that I can access as easily as if there were an outside pocket. Plus if you use the internal water bottle pockets, then you can drop stuff in those outside pockets if you really need them that available. Also the two main compartments have an option for TSA locks. Less unsecure pockets = a potentially more secure bag. Overall, I can tell a lot of love went into designing all this backpack. I was a huge Maxpedition fan before. After experiencing the quality and attention to detail on this pack Ill never buy a backpack from any other brand. Worth every cent.

I bought this as an overnight business travel bag, and returned it immediately. It is quite large. Would be fine as a backpack travel bag for 2-3 day trips.

I like this backpack a lot and its not as obvious as some of the other backpacks with molle all over it. The compartments are roomy and the zippers and pulls are very well made. The computer compartment has plenty of room for a 15 laptop and tablet. The main compartment has two zippered pouches and side pockets. It also has two outside side compartments for charging cables, pens and other accessories. There are also two back-side zippered pockets for conceal carry. I have traveled with this bag all over the world in about a year and it has held up very well.

This is about as perfect of a pack as you can get. All the assets of a Maxpedition tactical bag, but looks normal on the outside. I was worried it would be too big, but it is no bigger than a standard backpack you would have for college or EDC. It is worth the price, I will have this for the rest of my life.

The entity 27L fits my daily needs without looking tactical. I tend to carry it only using one shoulder strap. Fits 15.5 laptop in laptop sleeve w/power pack and cord all in the laptop area. It will fit Nalgene 32oz bottle but you cant have the pocket behind it stuffed, I store folding knife in that pocket an ear buds. The other pocket i carry cell phone charger, power pack w/cables, pens, markers, in the outside pocket I carry id badge and tie it to side handle, able to scan it without taking it off my shoulder. Inside the main I carry couple folders, lunch bag, multi tool, fixed blade, small umbrella, plenty of room left, put my keys inside pocket. In the picture Nalgene 32oz fits no problem the other pocket packed with stuff fits thermos travel mug but tight fit. Now it would be nice if they put a zipper on the side pockets so they could be expandable like on Entity crossbody bag. I also had the 23L bag and felt it was to small for my needs the 27 is perfect for daily routine and travel. The CCW is not lockable, the zippers are somewhat hidden and compartment rest against back but plenty of padding. As with anything and being responsible I wouldnt leave it unattended if you have CCW in it, locking it in main pack doesnt stop someone from taking pack and its only a zipper.
