Featuring numerous pockets and pouches for storing your gear, Maxpedition’s Falcon-II Backpack offers excellent organization in a narrow profile.

The Falcon-II Backpack is the quintessential Maxpedition product: durable, ergonomic, and intelligently designed. The ergonomic shape, padded shoulder straps, and sturdy sternum and waist support make this backpack an absolute delight to wear.

Made of lightweight, water and abrasion resistant ballistic nylon fabric, the Falcon-II has layered independent compartments with more pockets, pouches, and PALS attachment points than most backpacks twice its size. The 9” (L) x 4” (W) x 18” (H) main compartment and 8” (L) x 3” (W) x 16” (H) secondary compartment provide ample storage for your main mission, everyday, or camping gear, while the PALS webbing on the backpack’s exterior works well for organizing your smaller gear. The exterior rear of the backpack even features a 8.5” (L) x 17” (H) zippered compartment that can accommodate CCW or a 100 oz./3L water reservoir.

Maxpedition’s Falcon-II Backpack is a surprisingly spacious pack, with plenty of room for storing your mission essentials, camping gear, hydration reservoirs, laptops, textbooks, and CCW. So pack it up and press it down with its front and side compression straps, then head out on a hike or overnight, knowing that your gear is secure and ready to access inside a premium Maxpedition backpack.
