Incredible construction and design. Tons of pockets and the hidden firearm pocket with the magnetic closure is the best!!

Works great for my business needs, when I can't or don't want to carry one of my slings or backpacks.

Fantastic and well thought out everyday work / commute laptop style briefcase bag. It has good compartments and layouts and materials are lasting and not showing any wear after roughly six months of daily work use. I primarily use this strictly as a work bag with laptop, notebook, paperwork folder, work badges, small power supply with cord, laptop mouse, a few pens, a vehicle key, sunglasses, water bottle, and a first aid pouch. The only thing this bag is lacking is more space and a good shoulder strap. The shoulder strap needs to have some rubber anti slip on it so it does not slide off your shoulder is all. But the space is the bigger one. As an example, there's a build in sleeve for a 32oz nalgene inside the bag. You can use it as designed but don't place anything else in that side area otherwise the zippers will not want to close and there is a huge bulge in the bag. Every pocket or sleeve in the bag needs to have more room so that as you place items in the bag you are not taking up space for another pocket or sleeve that is in the same space. If you try to use this bag to hold daily work items and them add a conceal carry in the space for the conceal carry, you lose the ability to place things inside the middle of the main compartment. The whole bag just needs more space or to have some pockets be removed. Still, even with the lack of designed space and the slippery shoulder strap, i'm keeping it and using is every day as it blends in so well to day to day work. It just could be better.

The brief allows me to carry my 13" mac book, my apple DVD Player, all my cords and my I Phone, Apple Watch, Air pods Charging unit plus premier body insert in one place. I could carry my CC9 & spare magazine but I prefer to not carry off body,

I bought this brief to be the perfect middle ground between carrying my notebook and carrying a larger briefcase. The Fade Black is exactly that. It is tight as it exactly contains my 17" laptop and gives me sufficient space for notebooks and a book. Well constructed as is true for all Eberlestock products. It is exactly what I needed.

I am always in a weird spot where I need to carry but do not want my bag to scream tacticool. The fade series fits the bill on every level. I carry a 15” lap top, an iPad in an otter box, my note book, chargers and cords and 3 magazines and a mid size Glock without any issues. The inside of the pack is customizable in many ways and the fade accessories are a beautiful addition and I added two of the admin pouches along with the view pouch. The pack does not look military and the pistol access is elegant easy and silent. No Velcro is a must in my opinion. The sling fits nicely and the bag sits comfortably on the body while carrying for long distances. As with any ccw bag, practicing your draw from the pouch is imperative. I am not a fanboy for any one brand, but eberlestock has great products and though a couple of their items did not fit my needs well, this bag and this series seems to be a home run. I may even have to try the back pack after the success with this brief.

I own several bags for EDC that I rotate throughout the year, but I didn't have a good sling/laptop bag, and quickly stumbled upon the Fade Brief. I was actually about to purchase the Executive Brief, but it seemed a little too big for what I needed. The Fade Brief is perfect- I've got everything I need in it, and its extremely comfortable. The CCW area easily fits my Sig X-Macro in a holster and a spare mag. I also added an admin pouch and one of the see-through bags for additional, loose items. Dont hesitate- get a Fade Brief now!
