This is my second bag. They are well built. I use it daily. First one lasted six years of hard travel.

Didn’t needs this, wanted it however, but the price was very good, so I pulled the trigger. My 3rd Maxpedition bag, and I have lots of their organisers.Can’t go wrong if the price is right.

Tried using it for my everyday bag but I like a more simple looking bag for everyday. But for fishing trips it’s perfect size for all my gear. I can easily tie my smaller poles to the side. All my things stay pretty dry and there’s plenty of space to organize my things. I’ve had it 3 years now and it’s still holding up.

Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon-II Backpack - very good quality of material, zippers, handles. Not soaked in medium rain. Comfy feeling while loaded on the back. Keep in mind, Its a small size backpack. Small.

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.

La mochila es buena como todo lo de la marca, el problema fue que la correa de pecho no venía bien asegurada y la perdí en mi primer salida

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.

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.

Love this. The color is a bit darker than the pic here and looks amazing. As a Firefly fan, having a Browncoat color pack is, well, just plain shiny.I got this because while I love the 5.11 Rush Moab 6, anything more than ten pounds and it starts to pull the neck/spine wrong. Which is normal for a sling bag, so that meant either a move to a two strap beastie or cut what I wanted to carry. Enter the Pygmy. Small enough to avoid getting too much, but large enough to carry more than a sling comfortably.What I really like about this pack is its narrow profile--in all directions. Perfect for moving quickly or through/over stuff as it doesn't add even the bulk of a regular college book bag to your back. Check out some Youtube videos or go to the Maxpedition site if you want to get a real look at the bag.This just became my new base BOB kit. As soon as I can, I'll get another one in another color to be my regular day hike pack. I might add the Proteus or a Thermite, but I haven't decided. Not a young chick anymore so lighter while still giving heavy duty performance is everything. I can get my entire kit plus food and clothes in this. Obviously, this means that I changed 'down' in gear sizing, IE: From Katadyn Pocket to Sawyer Mini, Zebra 14 billy to Zebra 12, less paracord and more bank line, regular tarp to now a silnylon one, etc. and with Under Armour, Icebreaker, etc. for clothes instead of the higher volume eating types of clothes I would ordinarily have. Sure, I still have my Frost River pack for regular camping, with the larger items stashed inside because, well, I get delivered to the area via car and can set up camp and then go hiking. The Pygmy gives me what I need when I have to move on my own over long distance or busted up area, keeping maneuverable enough to avoid being targeted as having a pile of stuff.Some people complain about Maxpedition's prices. Some things are just worth paying for. And having a solid bag you can count on without all the unnecessary crap is worth it.
