Maxped bags

[The Warrior]

I have an olive drab Falcon II, and I love it. Heavy duty as can be. I wanted a smallish backpack, as my edc/BOB. I already have an ALICE pack as my extended stay BOB. I was worried about it being too small for me, as I'm 6'2", 280 lbs, but no issues at all. I love it. My first Maxped bag, but won't be my last.

TW:  If the floppy compression straps are bothering you, look into a couple Web Dominators; they bundle unused straps into something non-annoying.  The best thing about them is that if you need the extra strap, just unroll it to however much strap you need.

I am going to get some of those. It really doesn't bother me, tbh, but it would look better if they were rolled up.

This is not good, my wife would kill me if I bought a Falcon II. But after seeing these pictures..."must resist, temptation is too great..."

I ordered up a black jumbo EDC! Now the wait... Then pics! Thanks for the advice all!

Speaking of pics, didn't someone say something about a dye job?

Crap. You caught me. I'll get them up today.

[tattoosteve99]

Pics. This is the only spot dye didn't take on the outside. Elastic. Who knew?







There ya go. One OD green bag dyed black.

[turnsouth]

Well, that looks really good 

How did you get the coated nylon to take the dye?

[Janitor]

Wow - that came out really nice.

I took a tip from a tactical forum. I use a five gallon bucket. 1/2 full if hot water and 1 cup of vinegar. Wet bag and add it to water. Stir for about 10 minutes then cap the bucket for at least 24 hours. Rinse and wash with detergent and there you go. It has worked on 4 bags so far.

Just got my jumbo edc. I really like it so far except the lack of closure in the main pocket. The flap buckles over but is by no means sealed in any way. Shouldn't be a huge issue as everyone says the drawstring closure is annoying more than helpful. Might have to stitch something in like a zipper but I'll wait and see if I really need to first.

I have the Fatboy which has the drawstring. I have no issue with it at all. I generally keep it tucked it in which covers the inner pockets but that works for me

I got a Jumbo earlier this year from a member here ( gracias!)



I plan on using it to carry my camera, water bottle and light jacket at disneyworld in a few weeks.
