Do you want a heavy-duty, ultra versatile military pack that you can use for anything? The Gyrfalcon Maxpedition Backpack is multi-functional and has so many user-friendly features that you’ll want to use it all the time.
The Gyrfalcon is the most advanced bag in the line of Maxpedition backpacks, as well as the largest. You get multiple zippered storage compartments, plus molle straps that cover the entire outside of the pack.
As a result, you can carry a lot of gear and stay organized at the same time. The Maxpedition Gyrfalcon makes the ultimate pack for hiking, traveling or as a bug-out bag.
This pack also comes hydration-ready, with a pocket to fit a large 3 liter bladder. However, you don’t necessarily need to take this bag on an outdoor adventure…
Alternatively, you can carry a laptop computer in it due to its high-grade shock protection foam padding. Although rugged and durable, the heavy-duty fabric has a “casual-professional” look to it, so techies may be able to use it as a work bag.
Note: In my opinion, the Gyrfalcon is so ultra-versatile that it’s easy to get your money’s worth out of this backpack. Not to mention, the heavy duty, ultra durable construction ensures you get many years out of this pack.
What Makes the Maxpedition Gyrfalcon So Comfortable?
This backpack is also user-friendly because of its ergonomic design. The padded shoulder straps and 5 compression bands make this backpack comfortable to carry no matter how big the load.
In addition, Maxpedition added a supportive internal frame (both adjustable and removable too). This upgrade conforms to the curvature of your spine and adds vertical stability to the load.
On top of that, an adjustable sternum strap and wide waistband make this pack more ergonomically friendly. In this case, a heavier load doesn’t mean it’s more difficult to carry. =)
As you can see below, the Gyrfalcon has both a sternum strap and waistband for support. Not only do these straps make it easier to carry a large load, but they conveniently keep your pack in place.
Get a “Bonus” Military Style Waist Pack:
That said, you can remove the waistband if you don’t need it. The detachable waistband also enables you to wear the removable waist pack as a fannypack by itself.
As a result, this large military backpack becomes a lot more versatile (like getting 2 bags in 1). You can use it more often, even when you don’t have a lot of stuff to carry.
Note: By the way, the waistband circumference measures 64 inches at its max. Therefore, you could even wear the smaller waist pack as a crossbody bag when the strap is extended.
