Direct Action Dragon Egg Pack: Organized Comfort

[@ilpokarkkainen5776]

Thanks for the great reviews. I also specifically wanted to thank for taking the trouble to mention the measurements in different units. Really helpful.

[@livingsurvival]

Great pack, one of my all time favorites in that size.

[@gideonstactical]

I would agree, this is one nice pack

[@beaucrawford538]

+gideonstactical +livingsurvival do you guy have any coupons that i can use? I'm about to buy the DA Ghost

[@StarDarkAshes]

Living Survival yo Ben. What's up? Lol

[@koda0004]

Great video. I especially like that you also give us the dimensions in the metric system. A great benefit for us europeans. THX

[@finnianking2754]

Great review! You have never failed to impress me with your reviews!

[@ElectrULove]

I think finally I found my dream backpack.

[@MaxxRemKing1]

That is what I am thinking

[@hanf022]

I have an Dragon Action Backpack too in Black and i'm using it almost 6 Month's, its really comfortable and I cant tell any bad things about it, I like it a lot

[@gideonstactical]

+hanf022 Glad to hear that!

[@whosthatguy8396]

Looks like you can get all you need, especially with the lashing options on the exterior.

[@dmb3428]

you definitely want to try this pack on to see if you like the feel, the pack is awesomely built and is almost perfect but the foam that goes against your back is too stiff...if you wear this pack with a t-shirt on beware it will feel like 2 - 2x4 pieces of wood providing cushion after 5 miles of hiking with 15 lbs in it....they should have access to remove or change the padding

[@gearshepherd5138]

Thorough review. Helikon Tex who own DA are a cool company. Quite popular in the UK and being Polish means we get a lot of their clothes at a decent price. Bit like this bag, good on features without costing big bucks (for here anyway). Hope they do well in the USA market.

[@gideonstactical]

Me too! They got some great stuff!

[@galway6214]

Been watching you the last year or two from Ireland... one of the few gear reviewers that uses the equipment on camera for our viewing pleasure. Thanks Bro... great channel.

[@gideonstactical]

+Michael Connell Thank you so much, it means more time and takes longer per item to do reviews this way, but it is what I would want to see in a reviews so I am glad it helps!

[@fyreflyte9066]

lol, i didnt notice the date on this video until your laptop was shown in the bag, that is one massive laptop :) good review though. never heard of these guys until now and definitely getting the MkII dragon egg.

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks!

[@ArcticGator]

It's 2020, how well has this held up since you reviewed it?

[@escapeLDN]

You should have included a picture of the backpack in the thumbnail

[@gideonstactical]

Hahah

[@HarleyWood23]

that's a good one brother. I reviewed their laptop messenger bag, and I'm about to review the Ghost. DA makes some of the best gear IMO. Keep the vids coming.

[@Paul-eb3pg]

Nice pack,Ben got me sold on this too, If I did not just fork out some big bucks on that New camo Italian rucksack I might order one. Next year I guess unless I sell some inventory.

[@ErnieTessein]

I was finally about to commit to getting the maxpedition zafar, but you just changed my mind at the perfect time. Way better price point and this thing is sweet. Love their site too

[@ErnieTessein]

+ernietessein And I just bought it. Thanks for the code !!

[@gideonstactical]

Awesome!

[@TheRVSN]

Unfortunately, the handle does not give too long paracord because it is a few threads solded in the end.

[@RazZelDaZzel16]

Great review Aaron. That camo pattern is awesome

[@amgolfer3591]

Price update. Their bags (Dragon Egg) start at $129 and the most expensive one runs a $149 Just an FYI.

[@gideonstactical]

Sweet! They must have changed it!

[@ryanc5681]

Oh your 6"2 as well and it fits you well. Answered my question haha, I weight more though so I wasn't sure how it was with a thicket waste and stomache/hip area. My waist is size 36 just broad shoulders. But since your 6"2 it should fit well. Thanks for the vid Arron. Keep em coming

[@N1ght3d]

At 3:33, did you say "Petticoat Greenzone"? hee hee! :D

[@gideonstactical]

Yep, miss spoke! Thought you would all find it funny.

[@kaiabbe2623]

Some reviews i would enjoy seeing, the benchmade 940, 531, and the 710, the spyderco sage series, the helle utvaer, the esee rb3, and the crkt ripple. Just some suggestions

[@darthblade2016]

@gideonstactical I know this is an older video and you have reviewed a lot of packs at this point. Maybe you could do a comparison video on your favorite day hiking pack and then another for the best multi-day/camping backpack.

[@meisterfury2397]

@gideonstactical what a great review about a tough backpack. I have this one in Polish Camou.

[@ccmogs5757]

Great camo the PL woodland

[@SteveSmith-sd5hq]

Ever since I watched the review by Living Survival, I have wanted that backpack. it's just really expensive (to me) and I just don't have that kind of money to spend on a backpack right now.

[@shadomane]

Thanks for the great review. Nice pack! I think I'll have to get one.

[@tranwc]

👍🏼🤔 becoming like my wife, except she like luxury handbags and i like tactical packs. My fist was a Blackhawk R.A.P.T.O.R. Pack which was a knock off the LBT packed issued to 75th Ranger Regiment Soldiers in the later 90s. Pre-MOLLE. Keep up the great work. Find the reviews very informative. Blessedly there’s one 5.11 store in New England and it’s within driving distance (60 miles).

[@drcsep]

I ordered the Ghost and used the provided discount... Gracias

[@grief1993]

im trying to pick between the pack and the new maxpedition advanst gear pack

[@thedaleymeelee3389]

[@millerman6594]

Great review! I need a new day pack a little torn between this bag and the Vanquest Trident 20. Which one do you think is more comfortable? Also are able to lock the Zippers on the Dragon Egg Pack? Thank You..

[@PetrPokorny]

Please can you advice diferences between Direct action Dust and Cannae pack Legion ? You have checked both so please whichone is better by your opinion. Thanks.

[@TheJere213]

I'm considering buying this backpack but I wonder if it would fit my laptop. The screen size in that is 15.6 inches but the external dimensions are roughly 26.5x39cm. Could you measure the external dimensions of your toshiba(or tell the exact model) so I could get an idea whether or not mine would fit

[@TheTranq]

Hey there. Nice video. Do you think this is a good option as a get home bag for my car? A mix between tactical and still regular looking?

[@makcz944]

5.11 all hazard or Dragon egg, which backpack do you like more? Which one is more comfortable?

[@orichter]

Just ordered this as my EDC. Just hope my 15´6" laptop will fit :D Awesome video!

[@rafmolme]

Did it fit? I just faking out today mine didn’t.

[@orichter]

@@rafmolme Just barely..

[@happyknife8785]

I am looking for the Dragon Egg in Olive Green, to ship to Australia, can't find it anywhere. If any1 knows of somewhere, let me know.

[@hanf022]

+gideonstactical can you make a video about the Direct Action "SPITFIRE® PLATE CARRIER" when it will come out? would be sweet

[@gideonstactical]

+hanf022 I will see what I can do.

[@solidhalon]

I really like that backpack, but I noticed something @4:40... I need to loose weight. -_-

[@whosthatguy8396]

Pretty much an insta buy for me, great video as always!

[@Survived4Real]

Gideon; extremely good review on what appears to be one sweet pack, especially in the smaller sized packs. Have you done a review on the Ghost? I find myself betwixt & between on the Dragon Egg vs. the Ghost? Either one is excellent, but I prefer the shoulder straps on the Dragon Egg over the Ghost...but that's not a real big deal. However, I wish Direct Action would have used the same Waist Belt on the Ghost ... But on the Dragon Egg. I know the Dragon Egg doesn't require such a robust Waist Belt but if it were removable like on the Ghost, you'd have the best of both worlds. Do you think Direct Action would sell that Ghost Waist Belt separately so I could attach (someway?) on the Dragon Egg? You do excellent reviews and have been following them for years. Keep up the great reviews and continued success‼️William ~

[@michaelpereira808]

how would this compare to the kelty map?

[@England1674]

@gideostactical Just wondering now that you have used both the Sabra Solo 21 and now the DragonEgg, which is the best? In your opinion. PS. Huge Fan of the Channel. You make some of the best and most detailed review videos.

[@Spoils.24.7]

Hey Gideon, You recently reviewed the Boss Beaver. Would pack would be the way to go? In your opinion.

[@Theoutdoorproject80]

Good review Aaron , mine should be here by Saturday for my review awesome pack ! I have the same phone do you have the invisible shield glass on your phone it looks like it ? I think the packs have great color choices

[@andrewpoulson2584]

You should do a review of the tactical tailor removable operator pack

[@gideonstactical]

I do! it is in my pack and pouch video.

How does this compare this to the msm boss beavertail?

[@bass_coast]

hey I really trust your opinion and there's not a lot of reviews out there on its little brother the Dust do you think you could do a review on that one?

[@BAW556]

i see you do a lot of backpack reviews, what is your overall favorite pack?

[@RealityWizards]

At about 12 minutes in, what kind of tomahawk is that you've got strapped to the side? Great review.

[@gideonstactical]

+MacKenzie Coker The Outland Equipment MMA-1501, I reviewed it check it out.

[@themurderbotfeed7688]

Does the handle have an actual strap inside or once you use the paracord you no longer have a handle? Otherwise it looks nice. I feel like the sleevesfor the sides could be taller, maybe its the perspective but they look a little shallow. Nice review mate :)

[@leethompson5635]

+Carmen Cruz I'm not sure about the handle but the side sleeves are approx. 5 x 6 inch.

[@themurderbotfeed7688]

+Lee Thompson oh thanks for clearing that up =)

[@misoramen1857]

Should I this bag or should I buy the condor 3 day assault pack?

[@gideonstactical]

+firedash connor This one!

[@gilcox9933]

Man, I just bought a maxpedition kodiak a few months ago. I like the bag and the whole concept of it but damn. It is soo uncomfortable . It's ok with about 12 pounds or so. It would kill me on a day hike. Does this bag do any better ? With weight ? On a day hike ? Thanks.

[@gideonstactical]

I hiked a lot with it, it is good and better then most tactical bags. But try comfort comes from backpacks like Gregory, Ketly, Mountainsmith, Osprey. They are more comfortable by a long shot.

[@gilcox9933]

+gideonstactical thanks.. Is it good with weight ?

[@alphabravo41]

I personally own a Camelbak 3 day pack. I saw a lot of reviews on the 5.11 Rush 12. In your opinion, which among the 3 would be a perfect fit as an EDC in mainly urban/city environment? BTW, my name is Aaron too...hehehe

[@starfox-germany]

It’s me from 5 years later 😂 Wondering which one you ended up buying? Bought the Rush12 AND the DA DE and I am switching constantly, as I can’t decide xD

[@octavianm3166]

@@starfox-germany Maybe you can help me hahaha Im looking for a edc pack that doubles as a comfortable hiking pack that can carry a lot, do you recommend the DA DE?

[@starfox-germany]

@@octavianm3166 Well.. it depends. My favorite was the 5.11 Rush 12. Its just that I use to sweat a lot on my back, wearing it. I also sweat when using the DE, just not as much as with the R12. If sweating is not a problem for you, you will get a fantastic backpack. It is perfect for EDC but I wouldn't want to carry an expensive laptop inside. But you have to be aware that it comes with some weight. Its super robust, perfect quality, great compartments. I especially like the outside bottle holders as they kind of disappear when you don't use them. But - I will be honest - the DE is more of a bushcraft or forest backpack. I also wanted to use it for hiking and EDC but because of the sweating I got myself the Vaude Wizard 24+4 which is a fantastic backpack as well. No sweating anymore, enough space and in case I need to take more items with me when hiking, I can expand it from 24 to 28 liters. The Vaude became my new daily driver and its so comfortable, that I started to EDC some items that I only packed when hiking in the past. Again: DE is a perfect bag, but for hiking I would choose something from Vaude, Deuter or Osprey.

[@octavianm3166]

@@starfox-germany Sounds like you should be doing your own bag reviews on youtube! Thank you so much my friend, this is exactly what I needed to hear.
