Fade Adapt

I was looking for a pack which DIDN'T look military - no reason to LOOK like the guy carrying you-know-what, if you don't have to!

The Fade Adapt is wonderfully sleek on the outside, but has three easy-to-reach exterior pockets (one is inside another, and frankly those two nested pockets are so subtle I fogot they were there). The top pocket, lined in soft material, is the most useful. But the pack really shines when you unclip the compression straps and use the dual zippers to really open up the pack. You.can get to every inch without having to unload it.

I took the pack as a carry-on to Europe recently, and it fit nicely in the overhead bin on my flights. It also held up to a couple of downpours while plodding around the Alps!

I can't wait to use it as a commuter bag, with room for my laptop and sketchbooks and full-size EDC item! When I say full-size, I am talking 26" long item, thanks to the expandable bottom panel. The quick access back panel zippers will let me deploy my, ummm, sketching materials in rapid fashion!

The Fade Adapt is an all-in-one pack that meets every requirement. In fact, I now have a second one for extended travel and detail work. The Grey Man look is perfect in not drawing unwanted attention.

I love this bag especially with the pouches. Very spacious for work and sleek looking. I don’t expect it to break but i Would buy it again if it broke

Love the bag however, the first time i used the quick release buckle it broke and now i need to figure out how to fix that

Fits everything as advertised and is plenty roomy for my everyday pack: gym, work, travel. Fits my folded AR just fine at 20.5 in. The only thing that would have made this pack better is the straps being more like the more tactical packs for when I am hoofing it.

Finally! My perfect back pack! I have been using the little trick for awhile but had to fold out the bottom insert. The Adapt is the perfect size for my folder and with the solid flat bottom stays upright, mostly, with room for more gear!! Still working on weight distribution and load to get it to fully stand on its own without leaning over. Thanks!!!

I ordered this pack specifically due to the interior fabric and the ability to attach anything anywhere with velcro. And this pack does this very well. It is a little big for my edc needs but it does carry a lot of usable space. My only complaint is that it does not have outside water bottle carry pockets ( something almost every other eberlestock pack i have has ). Other than than and the size it is just about perfect...
