Eberlestock Switchblade Pack - Low Profile Tactical EDC Backpack for Maximum Space and Organization

Phenomenal bag I ruck 8 miles with 35lbs 3 times a week and my back feels great using this back and I have chronic back pain. It’s a great EDC bag too with great pocket organization and plenty of space. Obviously great craftsmanship and super durable. I’m a veteran and outside of a framed pack this is the best bag I’ve ever used to ruck.

Great daily backpack. Fits computer, lunchbox, and gym close nicely. The abnormal zipper path takes some getting used to, and needs to be broken in, but it's great now.

I'm a tactical backpack whore. I've got so many packs now. Up until now my go to was my voodoo tactical pack, but it's a bit large for everyday use. So my new eberlestock pack is the perfect size. The ccw pouch is perfect and faithfully houses my sig at all times. I have room to put my large headphones, a hoodie, my lunch bag, a reusable shopping bag, my laptop, backpack body armor, my full sized water bottle, a few tools inside the big pouch with some room to spare. And I store personal items in the top, and haven't filled it up yet. All in a much smaller package. The zipper design is excellent as I can have the pulls toward my body in order to make it more difficult for someone to get into my bag while I'm wearing it. 10/10 would recommend this bag.Edit: Bag is still absolutely amazing it's been close to a year now. The profile works well with clearing buildings as it can hug up to my back. The materials are holding up nicely. Still holds all of my above items nicely and still has more room to spare. Best pack I've ever had no joke. 11/10. I find it better than the mystery ranch bags. Although they are a close second.

The most amazing bag. I am SAR K9, and I carry alot of gear, even in my EDC. This pack is fun to use, and for as much as I carry, easy on the shoulders - and I have a very damaged arm, so easy of wear is vital. Conceal carry pocket is easy to use, and can be accessed when one shoulder, probably would have to be a contortionist to access when on both shoulders. But the padding is excellent and you would never know you are carrying.Eberlestock for the win! Switchblade for the double win

I love a good backpack. I’ve had many, from different brands. I’ve used the 5.11 COVRT 18 backpack for almost a decade. I’ve had a few in that time. They were my daily carry backpack because it had all the things I needed for on duty and off duty. It doesn’t scream tactical, but can fill those needs “Covertly”. Fast forward to the present and I’ve had the pleasure of finding out about the company Eberlestock. This bag is slightly larger than the COVRT 18. However, not so much that it is more than needed for daily carry backpack. It has plenty of pockets, a concealed carry channel and plenty of space for whatever else you may need. Best of all it fits the roll of a bag you could use tactically when you don’t want to tell everyone, hey I may be carrying a weapon, be a first responder, military, etc. But, best of all this backpack is premium, well built, I love the color choice, and the way it sits. You can adjust the ride height easily as well. I am definitely going to get the Eberlestock Bandit for Hiking.

Extremely durable material, zippers, etc. Great fit and finish/construction. I just have two issues that have me regretting a bit my purchase. First, the zipper opening for the big compartment can be awkward to access in the field and unless you zip nearly completely closed, it will work itself open -- the back will flop open. Second, molle or rather not molle attachments on the back don't allow adding for additional add- ons as design is not big enough and tapers.

I have had Eberlestock bags in the past and they have always withstood the toughest environments and conditions. I actually use my gear and put them through the ringer. My 12 year old hunting Eberlestock is still a daily carry for equipment. I have been looking for an EDC to use in the field and office. Other brands have not held up past the year mark. I found this one and the bandit online. I purchased the Switchblade due to it not looking like a military bag, but works like one. As always, I was impressed upon first touch, has room for everything you could imagine due to the molles, velcro, and hanger tabs. The zippers are smooth and easy. I am a 5'5 female and it does not look too big on my back. Perfect for all types situations. Would buy this again!

I love this bag. I purchased it and took it on a trip to NYC recently. I stored a bunch of my kids toys and a change of cloths… basically a man’s diaper bag. Everything fit just fine and it held up great. I do have a few criticisms and a few thoughts. First, it’s not the best bag for the task that I used it for. Sure it worked but it’s a heavier bag and would be better for outdoor use. I do a lot of range work so it’s excelled at that. The interior pockets are the perfect size for AR mags and you can fit a pistol AR or pistol scorpion or something like that with a folding stock with no problems. The padding for your back is excellent but everytime I took the bag off I had sweaty back. It’s a small gripe but still better venting would be nice. The bag has a certain shape/mold to it which helps you fit things in it but when you aren’t carrying much it doesn’t collapse. This was an issue at a point because I kept bumping people with it at stores I walked into. Again, wouldn’t be an issue for it’s intended purpose. The side pouches that are intended to be accessed by turning the bag to the side work very well so you do t have to take the whole bag off. I haven’t used the conceal carry slot on it but the pocket Intended for your pistol is big so a full size Glock or 1911 should be no issues. On a side note I have a gunslinger II and I’ve done long hauls with a 20lb rifle and a shotgun stowed on the side and the bag eats it up. This bag is the same way. It’s built extremely tough and is extremely durable. It’s best function would be a “go” bag if you know what I mean. On paper this bag is expensive but Enerlestock makes top tier stuff. The stitching is tight and the fabrics they use is thick and tough. If your looking for a camp bag or a range bag or something of that nature then this is a great option. If your looking for a book bag or a man bag then there are better options.
