People depend on backpacks for many activities such as hiking, camping, school, work and for traveling. When you buy one you want quality fabric, good construction, the right size, lots of pockets for organization, shoulder straps that are padded for comfort and you want your gear protected and easy to get to. Throw in style and a great color and you have the perfect pack. There are lots of manufacturers out there, but one of them stands out and for good reason. We’re referring to Maxpedition.

Maxpedition is a Southern California based producer of the finest line of packs and bags on the market that are designed for functionality and “Hard Use”. Maxpedition believes that you deserve performance and considers your purchase to be a long term investment. Whether you need a full double strapped pack that can carry lots of gear, such as a FALCON II, a single strap sling-pack for school or work, from their Versipack or Gearslinger lines or just a great cell phone holster, they have you covered. 
   Their initial customers were military operators and law enforcement, but the civilian and outdoor enthusiasts quickly caught on, developing an almost cult-like following for all “Things Maxpedition” and selecting them as their preferred EDC (Every Day Carry). Many Maxpedition bags have concealed carry (CCW) compartments which have become popular to safely store iPads, cell phones or other valuables. Models such as the Jumbo Versipack have become a favorite of moms and dads alike as the ultimate diaper bag and it is available in 15 colors.
To make the best bags and packs, Maxpedition® cuts no corners. They start with large, un-seamed panels of 1000 Denier Nylon, and meticulously reinforce each stress point. Next they add military grade nylon webbing for straps, handles, and modular attachment points. Using only genuine Duraflex® buckles and hardware adds strength and functionality. They use complete YKK® zippers and slides exclusively, unlike their competitors who put YKK® slides on generic zippers. All bags are finished with a triple coat of polyurethane for water resistance and a final coat of DuPont™ Teflon® Fabric Protector is added to repel the elements. Only the best components and designs are used. This craftsmanship insures that you will have your expectations exceeded when you buy Maxpedition. Next time you need a good pack check-out Maxpedition.
