Eberlestock Bandit Pack - Rugged EDC Backpack Built for The Office Or The Outdoors

Awesome edc pack! I use this everyday and i absolutely love it!!! Eberlestock product are superior and the quality is superlative!

excellent small rugged everyday pack.

EDC pack at its best, whether you are hiking, or at the office it's small enough for the job. Definitely worth the price.

This bag is awesome! Has tons of storage for the size, several interior pockets, and the organizer pocket in the top is perfect for quick grab items. The soft loop material on the inside makes it nice to add morale patches or other items you with rough side Velcro on them.Side pockets work great for everything from a 12 ounce aluminum can, up to larger than a 36 ounce (1 liter) Yeti. The pockets can accommodate larger it seems, but I haven’t tried anything larger than my Yeti yet.The front webbing is great for rolling up a jacket, small blanket, or anything else you might need without having to take up the space inside your bag.This has definitely become my favorite day bag, and its size makes it very easy to keep on hand. So far mine has held up to about a year of daily use, off roading trips in the Jeep, a couple camping trips, and it still looks new. If it ever starts to wear out, I’d definitely get another.

Make no mistake, it's a quality pack -- no doubt. Very robust and rugged. Yet I'm on the fence about keeping it, for a variety of reasons.My purpose for it is to serve basically as a range bag for both pistol shooting and target archery. And, I know, I know: "just get a proper freakin' range bag." Which, maybe I will. But I like to do things "different," and one thing I sort of hate is to have something like a bag that's specifically dedicated to one task, in a way that forces me into organizing my gear the way it wants me to. I like to adapt a more general purpose bag to what I want it to do.I thought this bag might just be my "holy grail," but I'm not sure. I can load it with two full size pistols, each in Savior 9x12 envelopes, along with a 5 mag pouch, my ear protection, and a few boxes of ammo. It's a tight fit but it does work. Or I can get in a couple recurve risers, limbs, and all my archery accessories.So, basically it does serve its purpose, but that's all it can fit. If I'm packing out to an outdoor location, to shoot, and need to bring water and maybe some food or a jacket -- probably not going to happen. Or at the very least I'll have to settle on taking just one gun. So size is something of an issue. It would be a bit more ideal were it a tad bigger.And then the way it loads and unloads is a bit odd. I'm not sure I really see much use for the molle panel out front. I mean, maybe, but if I attach anything too heavy to it, then it becomes a bit of a pain to flop it down any time I need full access to the pack. Same goes if you have anything heavy in the lid compartment. It makes it a bit unwieldy to open the pack fully if you have much in the lid.So, again, overall it's pretty decent and potentially usable for my purposes. But I might yet send it back and continue the search.

this pack can fit 693 king size snickers with the wrapper removed. so i can assure you, you will never go hungry. just don't leave your mom's basement for more than 3 days.i like how the padding keeps the snickers off my back. they barely melt. though do be careful of bears. i don't think the quality zippers will keep them out. you may also want to sacrifice a dozen or so snickers in to top compartment to keep a fire arm up there so that you can protect the rest of your haul.i am thinking about getting another one so i can wear it on the front of my chest so i can do 6 days. though my mom might really worry at that point.

I never really used a backpack daily until i got this bag. Ive bought previous bags for a go bag and never really used them as they are to big and heavy, but this one is just the right size. Its perfect for a change of clothes and a jacket with room for other essentials you might like to keep with you like a power brick, multitool, flashlight, ect. This bag filled up is very light and is clearly high quality and very comfortable. I don’t have any complaints about it after a month of daily use. Seems plenty durable for my usage and will be used as a motorcycle bag come springtime, The shoulder straps can also be moved up or down on the bag itself which is a nice touch

The Eberlestock Bandit is an absolutely AWESOME pack that is good for just about everything. Anybody familiar with the brand knows that pretty much their entire lineup is supremely well put together and durable, always comfortable, and are all loaded with features, so I won’t go too into all that. This pack is ideal of a day-trip of hiking, fishing, it can be a good work pack, larger medical bag, smaller bug-out bag, or just an EDC pack that can hold anything you’d need for a short period. It is NOT a large pack and is not meant for more than about a day’s worth of chow, clothing, or essentials. With that, it also might not be ideal for work or school if your computer/tablet or books are bigger than 13-16 inches because it simply isn’t very wide. But I take mine with me almost everywhere as an EDC pack that holds my tablet, rain jacket, some snacks, power bank, charging cables, CCW, a flashlight, and a multi-tool with plenty of room to spare. I also like sally take mine fishing and can store a day’s worth of food, my chest rig, extra tackle, water bladder, rain jacket, and I can lash a rod to the side. Then it’s also my day-pack when I go camping. And again, with all that, there is still plenty of room. Again, excellent pack, excellent quality, and is a decent price. Buy one! Do it… Do it… DO IT.
