GAMECHANGER Everyday Carry [EDC] Backpack -- Maxpedition Riftcore EDC Bag | Tactical, Yet Practical!

[@TheWuky22]

I’ve owned and used mine for over 3 years. Here are my opinions. 1. A lot of functional and intuitive compartments, 2. Smaller but does hold a lot of gear, if you don’t use a hydration bladder, 3. Outer molle-type straps helps a lot with attaching extra pouches, 4. CCW pouch holds my Glock 26 BUT adds bulk and makes packing the bag full more difficult (recommend) using a slimmer single stack sub compact pistol to maximize space, 5. Expensive, at $200+ 6. Now the kicker: This backpack is VERY uncomfortable. To call this bag “ergonomic” is ridiculous. The straps are rigid and the way they are angled pinches your shoulders near you collar bone. If your bag is packed with any weight at all, YOU WILL FEEL IT. Long treks with this bag will not be fun. It was hard to find out how uncomfortable this bag was after spending close to $200.

The Riftcore takes a lot of cues and inspiration from my Vanquest Falconer 27. They're almost the same bag.

[@jamesmkalbaugh]

Awesome bag! Thank you for the review, and your service! I have used other Maxpedition bags with great success, and decided to upgrade to the "Riftcore" For me, it's equipped as a "ready bag" / "72 hour bag" for the disaster team I am on - I hope to do a review soon of my roll out. Thanks again

Budget friendly, functional, quality and tough as nails= 5.11 tactical Rush series backpacks!

[@justalurkr]

I remember a (male) co-worker teasing me about always using the hip strap on my backpack. I eyed up his impressive shoulders and asked "who do you think got the *lower* body strength, muscle man?" Of course I rest the weight on my hips as much as possible!

[@christopher_martin]

in my opinion people say thats too expensive just get a cheap one....i collect fixed blade knives since i was about 10yrs old and always said why would anyone pay over a hundred dollars for a knife then i seen how easily cheap stuff fails and breaks so i started to learn about different steels and realized there is a huge difference in a 20 dollar knife and a 350 dollar bark river knife which is all i buy anymore keep in mind an edc loadout can quickly turn into a survival/bug out bag fast in a bad situation people like to think when something happens like earthquake tornados or hurricanes we will be home and ready to grab our gear but unfortunately you have what you have and you are where you are like at work school or in transit and cheap stuff will fail you when you need it most....just my opinion

[@joanclary3622]

Wondering why you would put that BIG bugout tag on the back.

[@mrodriguezangel1]

im feeling that GD 400 watch I got the black and red one

[@johnlenfr]

Nice review. Also big fan of 5.11 backpacks.

[@MrLleyo81]

great review I was waiting for someone to do a review on this pack. But I'll stick with my TAD Gear litespeed

[@seca021]

You are stationed in SK, revealing a spy plane who is checking out northern neighbours? Good backpack.

[@pietrogiusti2411]

Great video man ! Just a question, do you think a 15 inch laptop would fit in the bag ? I really love this bag and i'm very interested to buy one.

[@michaellaird9262]

thanks for the vid. been wanting a better look at those bags.

[@ivanhita4726]

If u go away from budget items the channels name would be misleading. Doing a comparison between budget and luxury items would be best. Just my thoughts.

[@BarrettPvP]

If you don't mind me asking, What is your career in the airforce? I plan on joining the airfoce my self and have a vague idea of what I want to do. and also just curious of what you do.

[@antoniobotello4996]

Good review 👍

[@3vil3lvis]

Comfort is a function of load. How much weight did you put in the bag for your testing?

[@BigJ8k]

wait...216 dollars not in my budget!

[@matthewcamilleri6334]

Cool bag but its expensive i guess you pay for the quality!!

[@twoshots242]

Still looking for the perfect Get Home Bag, leaning toward the Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon II, any other sugestions?.

[@s.c.588]

Hey man I had a question about packs. Out of all the packs as far as a everyday or small to medium size pack you've used which 2 would be your picks for overall quality, comfort, organization etc?

[@bigdave4863]

Great review!!!

[@jordan-it2xf]

really nice pack looks great

[@aerodrew808a]

what kind of knife and sheath did you attach to the front of your first responder pouch?

[@user-uc1vd7kr5n]

It's too hot here in korea.. Nice video! :D

[@757JJB]

Great edit and Nice watch. What kind is it?

[@G36Jeff]

Imo nothing beats the 511 rush bags.

[@ApocalypticBlades]

agreed. just got the rush 72 and I'm in love

[@minecraftmanyak]

isnt it american made?

[@TheLalaGOD]

what is the attachment on the first responder pouch?

[@zestrada0253]

He is my inspiration

[@carlhaugland297]

Could you do a review on the wolfspur? :)

[@CarloS-ut6xu]

Hi, is the riftcore as durable as the rush 12? Which pack do you prefer for edc.. the riftcore or the rush 12?

[@hsinhanwu6024]

I had a previous version of this Advanced gear Research sling that the top pouch had the soft touch rubber material and while sitting in the coolest for a few years it became super sticky and unusable. I contacted Maxpedition customer service about this issue, I got a reply basically said the issue is wear and tear, while I like Maxpedition and collected many bags from them I found this unacceptable. The bag sits in the closet for a few years is considered wear and tear, not material issue? This is suppose to be a rugged bag that can take the environment. I was expecting that your team admits the material selection issue and if I send back the barely used (maybe one time) and I get a replacement or repair unit with a cloth pouch. Instead I was told that this is wear and tear and is user issue. Very disappointed with how this issue is handled. Please remove the “advanced” from the AGR, because the name is not suitable for the bag

[@757JJB]

Nice watch. What kind is it?

[@brennanmerris9466]

Upload at 3am over here in Florida😩 Awesome video though!

[@215matt__]

[@215matt__]

[@motor1144]

Very good little bag, but not worth the money they are asking in the UK over £200.00.

[@vinceandriacco418]

Like if you like watching videos about things you can’t afford.

[@thatoneaziankid7969]

[@ReneMarcouxJr]

[@jalacy93]

What model watch are you wearing? Looks like a more subdued 9052?

[@jalacy93]

Watched your on duty EDC video and got it, then Bought it. Thanks for the videos!

[@daffybigbear]

I bought that Riftcore and sent it back to amazon. I spent 20 Years in the army, half that with the 75th Rgt. Maxpedition has always had great products and between 5.11, Blackhawk and Mapedition, my battalion has used all three. Having said that, while the Riftcore looks cool and has all kinds of pockets and its actually set up pretty well, for some reason, Maxpedition changed the webbing from a high quality durable heavy duty webbing to the cheap , thin webbing that frays easy. This pack was such a huge disappointment. The webbing , the lack of renenforcment where the straps connect to the bag, was a deal breaker. I showed guys in my team the bag and we all had the same reaction. Sad sad sad. While civilians might not think its a big deal. those webbing straps make all the difference in the world and unfortunately, Maxpiditions new line of bags are going to be rejected by military simply due to the fact they went cheap on the components and won’t stand up to any kind of serious use. It would be great for around town if your not planning on using it a lot. But trust me, that cheap thin webbing will fall apart quick.

[@synevan8754]

Agreed, they should keep their style.

[@Literarycat8]

Daffy BIgbear I have been wondering as to the viability of that material for hard core use, and your single comment answered it for me. Like you, I also serve, and place great importance on the gear that I use, because I know my safety depends on the gear I use. It is sad that Maxpedition is leaving the line that has put their company on the tactical gear map, because that line is what works. Case in point, I have two Falcon II backpacks--it's my go-to pack, both in civilian world and military duty. Thanks again.

[@anythingadrenaline4515]

Ryan James Baliza how has the falcon 2 been treating you? I'm very interested in purchasing the falcon 2 or 511 72hr bag Mostly for a bug out bag that will be left in my truck. But I do want something extremely durable and takes Alot of abuse. Any advice helps!! Thanks for serving by the way guys 🤝🤙

[@loneblackwolf5748]

I LIKE IT

[@slimyfeet8696]

yeah in the states coins are mostly worthless ... I normally throw all my Pennie's out my car window

[@laszlorapos2829]

after it i want a riftcore pánt :)

[@militarygearjunkie2522]

what r u doin in Korea?

[@carollgarcia5778]

cool

[@julesuiterwijk3218]

He is so cute 😊

[@FFEMTB08]

Maxpedition dropped the ball again. Vanquest continues to lead the way.

[@TruthAndTattoos]

I agree. I think the new Maxpedition AGR packs look like luggage mixed w/car seat upholstery & seat belts for straps! Fugly! Vanquest and Hazard 4 are kicking Maxpedition's A$$

[@FFEMTB08]

TruthAndTattoos ha-ha yes! That top hard case looks goofy as hell. And that Molly stuff looks like it will rip easy.

[@peterpayne2219]

Instead of a ntoebook inside the backpack you should have had the U.S. constitution for maximum irony.

[@draganmarkovic6703]

Super.😁😂

[@jordandurham8951]

does ting tang have a wing wang?

[@codeblackgamer9461]

do guns

[@G36Jeff]

I'm sick of maxpedition this max that. It's time maxpedition took a step down because all the shtf fan boys think it's the best. I'm not knocking u or ur vid. Just giving my opinion is all. There over priced and set up like crap. Half the pockets you can't use cause it takes away from another pocket. So what is the point

[@preparedlife3114]

I agree. I have a falcon 2 and proteus and they're ok but love my 5.11 gear

[@minecraftmanyak]

+preparedlife I love my maxpedition falcon ii. I've put it through hikes, camping, rafting, and goruck challenges and it just keeps on keeping on. I haven't used 5.11 for very long but I already still prefer maxpedition. The price doesn't bother me because I know my falcon will outlast most packs out there.

[@carlhaugland297]

Could you do a review on the wolfspur? :)

[@Zombot]

Great review!
