Love the utility of the pack. The size is nice, but I do wish it was just a tad bigger. with a hydro bag for a day hick it does get heavy on the shoulders so I ordered the standard hip belt which seems a bit too big for this pack, so a smaller hip belt option would be nice too.

Perfect daypack for whatever comes your way! Never leaving home without it again!

I love everything about this pack, it’s not your ordinary carry option. It fits everything that I need for my gear and supplies I might need in different situations. I really admire the versatility and compatibility, the possibilities are endless. I work in Law Enforcement and I wanted something that will meet any type of scenario and/or emergency that can happen that I might encounter on day to day basis. I also wanted something that has an area to put a water source/bladder in case I go on a walk for a long period of time or far distances . I really admire how lightweight it is and has one of the best support when strapping it on as a backpack, I can’t wait to test it on a hike. I really like the Dry Earth color, pairs very nice with green in the inside. To top it off, it’s molle compatible, has the elastic bottle pockets that can expand or you can tighten them , and I really like the main compartment. It was very easy to pack all my necessities, the full zipper front access is very beneficial. I am beyond satisfied and my expectations were definitely met, Eberlestock created a masterpiece

I loved everything about my last Bandit. I just bought it in 2025 for the Whtietail season 25-26. So During the Spring Sale 2026, I bought my son a bandit since he's started hunting with me. Well. The Mountain camo is still great for our area of Texas (mine is Skye for TX hills and plains).
The problem is that the material of mine is a suede feel, soft and quiet. My son's new Bandit is made of noisy Nylon material. Eberlestock should have made this more clear.

Concerns are noise on stalks, and water resistance on this new Bandit (Mountain) compared to what I thought I was duplicating, trying to get a replica of my own Bandit (Skye - Outlet item).

Received and very pleased. Everything looks good, fit and finish is great. We plan to start testing later in the spring, so I couldn't go full 5 stars, till it has performed as advertised. Very comfortable to wear. For the short time I've wore it around the farm I really expect it to be a great addition to the outdoor adventures that are coming.

Paired this with fury chest harness and it is just right for day trips.

Great product, works well for what I needed.
