Eberlestock Bandit Pack - Rugged EDC Backpack Built for The Office Or The Outdoors, Grey, M, Daypack Backpacks

Will be using for day/personal pack. Mega upgrade from Sawed Off (which to my understanding the Bandit replaced). The Bandit is way better thought out. Love that the main compartment opens fully instead of digging for stuff in the bottom from the top opening, like some packs. I’ve never loved the shape of Eberlestock side pockets but they work enough for me. Not as much faith in things not falling out as mesh style pockets but obviously more durable than mesh. Don’t love the outside flap but it’ll be good for securing a jacket. Love the bandits width (more narrow than a normal back pack) shape and functionality. Sawed off is shaped more like a slim awkward bucket, and opening it sucks. I use it for work. I love the Bandits adjustable harness so I can have it ride more ‘normal’ instead of head level like my sawed off, what a weird pack. Like I said, gonna use it for daily carry and not so much hiking (that’s what Osprey is for 🤘). Being my third Eberlestock I can say these things are durable and built like a tank (canvas style, not ripstop). You’d have to seriously abuse the heck outta these things and they’d still probably outlive you. Worth every penny in my book. Reasonably priced for a product of superb construction. *note: read description before writing a review and knocking stars because of size or nitpicks. Aesthetics that don’t please you should not reflect on the outstanding quality of this pack. ARRIVED PRECISELY AS NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTION You’d be hard pressed to find better quality at this price point.

Zaino leggero e compatto, sistema di porto eccezionale, non lo senti sulle spalle. Ottima organizzazione degli spazi interni.

Zaino compatto ma al contempo spazioso, apertura comoda, tasche laterali esterne utilissime e pals per aggiunta di tascame. Spalline regolabili in altezza e schema le ergonomico e traspirante. Ormai compagno di ogni avventura, anche a primo carico sembra di non portare nulla sulle spalle

Für mich einer der besten Rucksäcke. Man merkt das Eberlestock seine Erfahrungen eines Soldaten und Jägers vereint.

So far its an amazing little day pack. Its just the right size to tuck in behind you and not get caught on every branch as you push through the brush. The full zip beaver tail panel has a nice soft inside where you can attach velcro panels in there for holsters to med kits to admin pouches or add morale patches. The zippers are nice and stout but smoothe. I always use zipper lube on mine to just make sure that I can rip them open to get to what I need in the bag quickly. Its a great price for such a tough and functional little bag. I can load it out with my smallest and lightest camp gear and fit the tent mesh liner, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, plus the stove, cup, rain top and rain kilt, 3L CNOC bladder and Platypus filter, water bladder spot is perfect for a 2.5L bladder as the water bladder retention strap is a little long and let's the bladder slip down a couple inches. Its fairly light weight for being made of heavy duty nylon. The side pockets are big enough for a 32 oz Nalgene or the taller 48oz. The other side i keep my 16oz nalgene i use for electrolytes and a sit pad. The straps are slightly padded and comfortable plus it had load lifter straps on them but I have not used them yet. The back pad is really thick and comfortable to have good air flow on the back. The only complaint I have is the reservoir tubing only has a hole on the left side to come out of the bag as I usually route mine on the right side and I like to keep my kits loaded out the same way. The top brain pouch is good for admin stuff or smaller items with a key retainer and a couple little pouches. Its good for items that may beed quicker access or things that could get lost in the main compartment. Then the laser cut MOLLE panel is where I keep the poncho rain fly for my tent. I use the Six Moon Gatewood Cape and inner bug net. Then there are tie off loops on the side to add caribeaners to keep retention of the items in the side pockets or maybe you could use them and add more MOLLE pouches
