Just buy it, dude.
Yo I got this bag a couple days back. The free shipping only took 2 days, it had a hand written thank you note, and the pack is fuckin sweet. Its a good mix of outdoorsy hiking style with my favorite tactical colors and functionality. Looks socially acceptable to take to work but fits in well with my tactical gear. Got medical velcroed nicely inside the pack and even though its in the very bottom I can get it easily cause the whole pack just rips open! Sturdy feeling materials and great comfort. I was able to secure a rifle on the side pretty well which is great for some competition formats I do. Tactical bags usually lack water bottle holders so thats a huge bonus. Magnetic retention to tuck em away is suoer slick and it Integrates well woth a 3 liter bladder on top of storage for nalgene size bottles on the sides... (Read more on the paradigm product page)
First off, let me say the NSG Team understands customer satisfaction. They immediately responded to a message I sent them, was able to help me get what I wanted, and even told me about a code I didnt know was running to cash in on some more savings! The product arrived to me within a week, and there was even a fun little extra in my order! The product is amazing and is exactly as described. I love the weather proof material and the magnetic latches and closures on everything, wish it was a more widely accepted tech! My carry fits great, as well as my favorite Lil Debbie snacks! Shes the only girl to never let me down- and now the NSG team and their products wont either! Hahaha. Jokes aside, its very well made, comes in a good choice of colors, and I will be looking forward to the larger capacity paradigm when they arrive!
First off?? I have to give props to the NSG team. They personally reached out to me in messages. Were able to answer all of my questions directly, even extended an active deal code that I didnt know was going on to cash in on some extra savings!!!!! Product arrived within a week. And the guys at NSG even threw in a little surprise !!!! The radian is everything they advertised it to be. And the extra pouches are badass. I love the weatherproof material and the magnetic latch systems on everything. Super comfy, carries my favorite pistol and little Debbie's exactly as described. Will be holding out for the newer paradigm when it drops. You got a customer for life.
I love the concept but thought at 20 liter it would be bigger. I have an 18 liter 5:11 sling bag that seems bigger. I wish the interior side pockets were bigger also to fit an umbrella. I like the basics, but if I could have handled it first I would have waited for the bigger version.
Built better than any other backpack I own. Now my daily carry pack
I purchased this backpack to use as my commute bag. I added an hook-n-loop organizer to the main compartment. It easily fits my 15" work laptop. I carry a number of EDC items as well. The adjustability is excellent and the backpack is comfortable. My only slight knock is the side water bottle pockets are a little shallow in my humble opinion. I carry a 24oz water bottle (pretty standard) on one side and a pac set on the other. Both will fall out when slinging/unslinging the pack. They do provide 4 removable straps that fix that problem, but it would have been nice to not need them.
