Customers are satisfied with the quality of the backpack. They say it's well-made, durable, and tough. The side mesh pockets are surprisingly durable, making it a great option for general schlepping. The stitching is perfect, and the materials are excellent.

An excellent small pack for both city and trail

I own several Maxpedition packs, slings, and bags that accompany me while bicycling, shopping, hiking in the woods, or just hanging out at the local coffee shop. Depending on what I’m doing, I might be carrying a notebook, iPad, books, extra sweater, water, raincoat, lunch, or a dozen other things, and different packs are better for different tasks. The Noatak is great for biking, the Neatfreak for work, and the Versipacks for short hikes and daily carry. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The Versipacks are very convenient on short hikes, but look a bit too “commando” for every day use, and don’t carry well on a bicycle. The Neatfreak is low key, but barely big enough to carry an iPad, charger, and a few pens and pencils.Even though it shares a lot of the military style and features like PALS loops with other legacy Maxpedition packs, the Pygmy Falcon-II doesn’t look out of place in the city. The new Wolf Grey color makes it look more like a piece of luggage and less like commando gear, yet it’s still a good color for blending in when hiking. The interior organization provides plenty of storage for electronic gear, pens, pencils, and books, while still providing enough room for everything I need on a day hike. The two water bottle pockets allow me to carry two or three pints of water externally, and an interior sleeve provides a place to hold a hydration bladder for longer hikes and bicycle trips. The bottom of the pack is a piece of heavy duty waterproof material- a necessity in the wilderness- and there’s plenty of space to attach external pockets and lash on bulky clothing. Most small backpacks cheap out on the details, and have thin shoulder straps that roll under load, but the straps on this pack are firm and wide and comfortable under a heavy load. It looks small, but with a rated capacity of 1100 cubic inches (18 liters) it can carry a lot more than you might expect. It’s a small pack built to the same standards as Maxpedition’s biggest packs, and that alone was enough to convince me to buy it.

I bought this bag about 18 months ago, but didn't use it much at first. Then I started using it every day about 7 months ago and figured I'd really get some use in it before writing a review. In that time I've come to love it. it feels very high quality, although I must admit that some other, more expensive, Maxpedition bags seem a bit sturdier in some regards. Double zippers on some of the pouches, heavier lining materials, etc. But still, this bag feels quite high grade and I've had no issues with tearing, fraying, busted seams, zipper breaks or jams, etc. It's not a big bag, so I don't know if this'd be adequate for a BUG Out or Go bag, but for an afternoon hike, general EDC, a gym bag or to throw in a few emergency items, this would be great. There's two mesh water bottle pockets and neither have had any issues despite both being used every day. Each can accommodate a .32 oz Nalgene bottle (3.5" or 89mm diameter) with no problem. The main straps are fully adjustable and secure as well as the sternum strap that connects via plastic/polymer buckles. There's some MOLLE webbing on the main exterior pouch as well as above the side water bottle pockets, so you could attach smaller pouches or use them for clipping items, attaching paracord, etc. Lastly, under the main exterior pouch there's some shockcord which could be used to carry a larger pouch or a small, thin bedroll, rolled up towel or whatever else you can thing of. For the price, it really is great quality.

Highly recommend! This bag is very well made, as usual with maxpedition, and is a great size for daily carrying items. It isn't large and cumbersome and can hold a decent amount for a daily go bag. The only con I have with it, and it's more of a pet peeve, is that the way it's designed prevents it from standing upright on it's own when loaded up. It will tip over if you go to set it down because the center of gravity is too high and the outside pocket is higher up. Like I said, more of a pet peeve for an otherwise amazing bag.

Clean rugged light urban back pack, and probably the best urban backpack I have seen. I carry it daily without fail and it always proves itself worth carrying, whether it be nearly empty or with an extra shirt and raincoat, or some light tools. Build quality is 5+ stars. I would trust it in a light to medium shower for short periods (about 95% of the time this is the case) but not in a typhoon for hours obviously (doesn't happen often knock on wood). The side pockets can fit the narrow Nalgene water bottles as you can see. Picture of my 9" boot and headlamp for perspective. If you are going out on a day hike it is perfect. If you are an outdoors person, you might enjoy a larger pack, but then again if you want something light this might just be your first choice. Anything longer and I might consider something more purpose built like the waterproof dry backpacks with a larger volume.

Funktionelles Teil. Verarbeitung ist schwer und sehr gut. Mindestens so gut wie Tasmanian Tiger und Welten über 5.11. Da man den Rucksack an 3 Seiten öffnen und ihn so aufklappen kann passt alles rein was man so braucht. Auch für nen overnighter ist genug Platz. Kurzwaffenkoffer passen super rein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente mochila

Reviewed in Mexico on July 4, 2017

Me encanta esta mochila. La construcción es realmente sólida, aparenta ser pequeña pero le caben muchísimas cosas. Compré esta artículo porque quería una mochila que pudiera llevar a todos lados sin necesidad de tener una específica para el día a día y otra para los recorridos que hago en las montañas y con la Pygmy es justo lo que tengo.

La cantidad y distribución de los bolsillos es bastante adecuada y bueno, hay tantos videos y reviews de esta mochila que es cuestión de verlos para convencerse de que vale la pena.

I use this as a great grab and go bag for everyday tasks. I use it for carry binders, water, and pens to class. I also use it when I travel home. It is a great quality bag and it is my favourite now. I also own a rush 24 by 5.11 that I use when I have more stuff to bring. This bag sits nicely between the shoulders.
