Maxpedition Riftblade: Backpack for Hiking, Travel, Overnight Hikes - NOW AVAILABLE!

[@maysdogus]

Cool pack. I think I’d like it more if it didn’t have that middle section. Much prefer a big main section that I can organize with different pouches, packing cubes, etc. I like the addition of the straps on the bottom though along with the side molle.

[@SeanSeesAdventure]

Great review. Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!! I’m traveling already and need to find one overseas. 🤔

[@swkohnle08]

I’ve been using a Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger for the past five years as an EDC bag. It’s been great, durable and it’s been slung through a lot of airports. Been thinking of switching out to something with two shoulder straps just for long carry comfort.

[@zoanyway]

I literally laughed out loud when you pulled that enormous collection of blades out. Very nice video, thanks.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Ha - good times!

[@thorsbeat]

I wish these bags had side pockets for nalgen bottles. They should know this by now.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

That is an issue that people bring up - I think they are going for sleek - that's their angle.

[@Andromacky]

They also sell a molle bottle carrier so maybe that's what they are playing off? That they have many pouches

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yes true. Seems like people are divided on wanting a water bottle or not.

[@---ug4ji]

Look at the Tiberion

[@maninacan.6285]

All I have is maxpedition. My EDC is the medium methusalah bag . I bought it in 2014 . and it's holding up great. I put my lunch bag in it for work. And a newspaper or magazine, plus more. They stopped making these bags for some reason. Anyway, I'll look into this pack next, maybe for a get home or bug out bag. Thanks , enjoyed the video.

[@Torranium]

I have my Riftblade for about a year. And it´s great for my everyday usage. You can even go with it on a 3 to 5 day journey if you know how to effectivly pack a backpack. Please notice, i mean a 3 - 5 Day trip in the civilisation. Not a 5 day Winter-Biwak in the wilderness of the woods of norway. For this kind of Trip i would prefer a Maxpedition Gyrfalcon. Unfortunately, there is no really large outdoor backpack from Maxpedition. With 50 -> 80 liters volume.

[@flyingplumber226]

I’d love to see this bag in about a 35 liter size with a longer length. An AR with side folder would fit nicely in the middle section.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Let's see what they do in the future. I bet that will be something they build.

[@JC-um4gu]

Don't generally post comments and hope this will get a reply from you. First, excellent vids on both the Riftblade and the Vanquest Katara 16: well done sir. I know the sizes are clearly not the same, though they are of apparently similar "formatting". Thinking in somewhat visionary terms, if you could score a Katara of similar size to the Riftblade: which might you choose? I've both a Maxpedition bag and a Vanquest bag and given my experiences with both - I'm leaning way in the direction of Vanquest in general: quality materials, build, etc...though I use both of my bags as the situation dictates. As a complete aside...wondering was that a shot going over the Bear Mountain Bridge in NY? Gorgeous area of the Lower Hudson River Valley and great hiking there.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

I like the organization of both, but the convertibility of the Katara I think is a big win. And yes, that is the BMB - I grew up in Poughkeepsie so it's not far from there. Thanks for watching and for the comments. They show you are a thoughtful person - I appreciate that.

[@JC-um4gu]

Thanks for the quick reply, kind words and confirmation re: location. NYS is by far one of the most diverse and stunningly beautiful states of the US: watershed, terrain, diversity, etc...: please no offense to anyone living elsewhere as each state has beauty, charm and its own unique draw: just my opinion. Thanks again. I wish you and yours a lovely weekend. Blessings...

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Same to you Jay Cee.

hi fellow EDC enthusiast. hope you can help me with my dilemma... i am really interested in getting an EDC covert tactical bag. i am now using a TNF surge bag for my EDC (school/gym). i am looking to getting either maxpedition riftblade or the 5.11 amp24 (tho im leaning more towards the riftblade), i like them coz of the clam shell opening (i havent tried a bag with a clam shell opening but i think they would be much easy to organize and access things in and out) and the modularity option for both bags. My gripe is that both of them have quick release buckles, and i am carrying everyday atleast 15-18 lbs of gear, books, laptop, gym stuff and i am always in daily commute, train jeepneys and buses. i am afraid that the quick release buckles might accidentaly snap off while carrying heavy gear (especially when seats are full i just sometimes hang on the jeepney and/or buses railings 😄👊💪). also i intend to use it in hiking, so again my concern is that the quick realease buckles might accidenrally snap off while hiking in steep slippery hills and tje bag with its heavy load might put me off balance and get into a mishap 🤕😂🤕. So to make the long story short, id highly apprexiate any experience, feedbacks comments or suggestion regarding on should i still consider investing (i said investing because they cost a lot), or if there are something that i can do to remedy and make sure the the buckles would sure be not to accidentally relase off. **** and also what can i do to cover the grommet holes at the bottom of the maxpedition riftblade, i dont see me having any use for it, and moisture and dirt (as ill be again using tje bag for hiking) might actually sip in the grommet hole **** thanks for reading my long post... hope you can give me a good advise as i really like the compartmentalization of these great bags (self confessed O.C. 😊😊😊) thanks again a lot mate.

[@soldierofdirt81]

Looks like a great travel bag for a 3 or 4 day get away! Nice review!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for watching!

[@awelbendebel8015]

@@EverydayTacticalVids hi Tim, do you think the duraflex quick release buckles can hold up to 20lbs of everyday gear? i want to buy this bag but im having second thoughts because of the quick release buckles.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

@@awelbendebel8015 In my experience those buckles are pretty beastly - quite strong.

[@awelbendebel8015]

@@EverydayTacticalVids hi Tim, thanks for replying to my question. im really going crazy on what to pick between riftcore and riftblade (gotta make a sure and right choice since these bags are pretty expensive 🤣🤣🤣) .. i kinda like the look of the riftcore especially the sunglasses pocket (kinda looks like oakley sunglasses pouches) but im worried that riftcore might not be to small for my EDC (office stuff, laptop, powerbanks/cables/chargers and cellphones and also i bring along everyday with me my gym clothes, towel, pair of rubbershoes weightlifting belt and toiletries.) do you think it all would fit in riftcore? or should i get the riftblade. (tho i think its poochy, and i kinda not like the look of sunglasses pocket (not the same as the riftcore) hope you can give me an advice which bag to get, since you already have both, and what are the pros and cons of one over the other. keep uploading cool stuff Tim.👌👌👌 thanks a lot.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

awel bendebel if I were to carry all that I’d get this one. I think the other one will be too small for you.

[@cosmo742]

Great bag for traveling, But its very expensive.. awesome review Tim.👍

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yeah for sure. Buy once, cry once they say.

[@cosmo742]

@@EverydayTacticalVids Does that bag have life time warrenty

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Here's that info: www.maxpedition.com/pages/warranty-policy

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Cool looking bag. I a bit too tactical looking for me. I do like the hook and loop panel on the front. The shoulder straps and back panel look super comfy. Did the bag have any hot spots when carrying it?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Not from my experience so far.

[@knifewarden224]

What are the dimensions of the pass through pocket in the inside main pocket. How big of a laptop can you fit in that.

[@Fedaykin8]

I'll tell you what; If this bag had the side pouches (they flatten down to nothing) and the interior hook & loop panels were molle cut like the Vanquest Trident and others, I would take this bag over the Vanquest I think... I prefer the molle cut hook & loop system that Vanquest uses because it's more versatile. One of them just needs to make my perfect bag already! :D

[@wolverinegnr]

Which is better the riftblade or the rush 24? Thanks

[@awelbendebel8015]

do you think the duraflex quick release buckles can hold up to 20lbs of everyday gear? i want to buy this bag but im having second thoughts because of the quick release buckles.

[@MrPd23322]

Lol...Tim gotta ask ya... Your shirt matches the picture framed in the background (11:25).. was it intentional lol I've been watching several other youtubers review this bad and do indeed li ike it and such... But I'm. Vanquest buying guy...what do you feel is their alternative??? As always thanks and truly trust your reviews...and the next time you come to this part of VA...give a heads up I would have met ya and brought unch as a token of my appreciation for all your reviews, I'm here in Va Bch Area.. I could have gotten my Bible autographed by ya right next to Billy Grahams... Ok that wasn't true but would have been cool too

[@YosefArteaga]

Can you make a video of maxpedition riftblade vs maxpedition tiburon, I can't decide which one is better for every day carry

[@Indianprepper2478]

Good for 3 days Business trip

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Agreed - it held a lot of travel gear, more than I expected.

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice bag

[@hersheljones9467]

I’ve been wanting to get a maxpedition bag but wasn’t sure which would be the best for edc

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

This is too big for me for EDC. The Riftpoint is better for that, or the smaller Wolfspur perhaps.

[@lespoitras2268]

Nice video ! 😄

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

What one is better this or the Tiburon?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Very similar - just different sizes.

[@seadowg5515]

You live in Massachusetts?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Nope, I'm up in NH, but I usually fly out of Logan when I fly.

[@rickc4317]

Very nice pack. $260 and sold out on their website for those wondering...

[@Sheltowee1775]

Rick C That’s a car payment !

[@KingdomPropertyMaintenance124]

First everything

[@tberry7348]

Nice but not worth $260, 20 years ago I got one like it but about 60% larger for about $80...
