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

Im a business traveler on the road almost every week. This backpack is comfortable to wear and easy to use. It fits a phenomenal amount of stuff in the main compartment. The construction is top notch. Of course, one of the main reasons I bought it was I needed a backpack that could take a beating week in and week out and the reviews and Maxpeditions reputation let me know I was getting a quality product. If I had to quibble, my right shoulder strap is starting to show a bit of wear near the friction adaptor. Its staring to feel a bit roug, like it might fray. This may be normal, but it seems

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.

I am not an “operator” and will never conceal carry. The riskiest environment the bag will be in will be sharp elbows trying to get an overhead bin on a Delta flight. I am a traveling consultant...4 wheel carryon spinner and laptop bag. I have had the bag for 2 weeks, 5 cities, and 6 flights. The main compartment holds everything I need including headphones, chargers, and every dongle and connection you can think of plus a few bags of chips and a lightweight coat. The laptop sleeve is padded and holds 1 laptop and 2 ipads and 1 notebook with no problem. The side pockets are huge for water and glasses case. The suitcase handle passthrough works like a charm. Even the conceal carry section now securely holds folders and a newspaper. Shoulder straps are very comfortable and since I am not going down range on a mission I can take off the waist straps. The quick release shoulder straps to grab your weapon is actually a great feature to take off the backpack in an airplane aisle without hitting a fellow passenger in the head. I have a few Maxpedition products including the Falcon II for hiking. Everything is high quality and will last forever.

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

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.

Excellent!

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.

Not big enough to fit clothes for a week long vacation. Good enough as a range backpack or as 1 or 2 day getaway. Its definitely smaller than youd think

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.
