Alpha One Niner, EVADE 1.5 Backpack, GEN 2 (2024)

Rugged and comfortable.

One of two of the best bags made.

I love this thing! Coming from an Aer City Pack Pro, the admin front panel is such a game changer in terms of keeping so many crucial items easily accessible. The backpack is an absolute dream to carry, feels super comfortable and light on the back with adjustments thanks to intuitive load lifter system. The central compartment is spacious and massive, the laptop sleeve feels secure, although I do wish I could also access a tablet sleeve here. Another big draw for me is the pair of large side bottle pockets which fit my 32 oz. Takeya & Nalgene bottles, along with my big thermos or protein shaker. This is an amazing weekend/EDC/remote work/travel bag!
