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

Love it. I had a maxpedition briefcase for many years, finally purchased this for my laptop. Very happy, well organized.

The bag is almost exactly what I was looking for. Hard use, non military looking bag. I have numerous maxpedition bags and they are all 10/10 quality. They just typically look tacticool. I only buy more because I have unique needs for different bags. This will be my daily carry. The set up is a little weird. Unlike a standard backpack, the main compartment is closer to the front than the sides and the opening isn’t very wide, but it does almost down to the very bottom of the bad. I think it will be fine, just have to get used to it. It doesn’t feel like the same material as my other maxpedition bags, but it may just be that the weave is considerably tighter. Maxpedition is definitely a buy-it-for-life company, so I’m hoping technology used in this bag is just better so the material doesn’t have to be as thick. The bag itself is very comfortable to wear. It could easily hold 2-3 days worth of cloths, food, and a couple things to do. Or a clip board, several books, lunch, and a all your other normal EDC stuff. It seems well made, but only time will tell. My falcon 2 maxpedition bag has been with me to 8 countries and probably twice that many states, on top of being carried every day at work and it shows little to no signs of wear. I’ll update this at some point when it goes through some more stress.

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

Great pack for conceal.

Well worth the money !! I carry my folded Galil 556 inside this bag pack, so so much quality on this bag. Lots and lots of pockets and zippers, you will not regret. Plus it does not look like a gun bag, highly recommend AAAAA+++++

I purchased this bag to replace an STM bag that Id carried with me for years. I read as many reviews as I could, watched countless YouTube videos and decided to take the plunge with this one. Overall, Im not blown away. I think there is a very specific form and function this bag serves, Im not sure its 100% for me. I wanted a durable bag that has strong zippers, and wont wear out in a year. One of the main components that I was looking for in a Tactical style bag was that it had an easily accessible sleeve for a laptop. This bag offers an easily accessible sleeve for a laptop - but the fit is very sloppy on my 15 MacBook Pro. It would easily fit a 17 laptop, but it doesnt hold the laptop in place at all. If you were using this with a 13 laptop it would be WAY too loose. I dont plan on using the CCW features of this bag - however should the need arise, Im glad its there. The storage pockets are well built - zippered pouches galore - lots of room for all your bits and pieces. Time will ultimately tell if this is the right bag for me - but overall my impressions are bleh... I feel like for the price I should have gotten something much more substantial and the features should warrant the price. In this bag, I dont feel like they do.

I really wanted to like this pack. I researched it, but once I got my hands on it, I found too many short comings. First, the water bottle pockets have no stretch to them. This means that the bottle prevents you from using the pocket underneath. Second, the CCW pocket was great, but shouldn’t a CCW pack have a dedicated pocket for a Level IIIa plate? I knew this going in and thought I could jury rig something, but for $165 it should have a dedicated pocket. The other issues i had were minor and I might have over looked them had it not been for these first two. This pack has lots of good features: generous laptop sleeve and quality materials. the modularity of the add-on hook&loop pockets is nice… but at $20 each they add to the overall cost. By the time I had set up the pack I was into it for the same as a Gamut 2.0… so that is what I traded in for. Much happier too. Sorry Maxpedition…. but I did try your pack first.

I got this for my son to use for college. We were tired of buying a new backpack every year and decided to invest in something that will last him 5 or more years and this was the best choice around...with Maxpedition you really get your moneys worth from their products!

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.
