Carry Smart. Move Free. Never Surrender.

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)

I have been endlessly searching for the perfect backpack, and hands down, this is the best backpack on the market right now. I looked at Osprey, Eberlestock, North Face, 5.11, etc. This backpack is FAR superior to any of them. The craftsmanship and quality are incredible, but the features on this backpack are where it truly shines and are second to none. The magnetic front clasp you can open and close with one hand; a fully lined, plush electronics pouch, full opening main compartment; the magnetic bottle holders that fold away when not in use; the outside gear clips are removable or can be adjusted up and down depending on your needs; the fully adjustable straps (I'm 6'8"); the removable waist belt; the full-length interior loop attachment on the inside of the pack for Velcro pouches and holsters; the extended and sealed zipper pulls; and the airflow pads against your back keep you cool and sweat-free all day long. Everything is useful, smartly designed, and expertly placed... (read more on the paradigm product page)

Greatest Backpack of all time!

If I could describe this pack with one word I would choose the word (Perfect). This pack is simply amazing!! Do yourself a huge favor and pick up one of these packs! You will not be disappointed! Thank you NSG for making the greatest pack of all time!!! I wish I could give it 6 stars because 5 isn’t enough!

Great Utility!

With this bag being a little smaller than bags I had used previously I was worried that I wouldn't be able to effectively carry or have everything organized that I need for a day's adventure. I couldn't of have been more wrong. With all the different pockets and compartments, plus the expansion feature, I'm actually able to carry more stuff and without it all becoming a tangled mess inside my bag. I can easily separate hooks, plugs, batteries, and my lunch in the padded pockets. The Echo bag is now my go-to for fishing trips and treks, anywhere I go.

The Lava Scout Pack is Electric
Kicking myself I didn't have one of these sooner. The Scout is a game changer. Unlike my old draw-string bags, you can get in and out of this pack in seconds by rotating the sling to your front. An incredible experience for getting around Chicago on my longboard and flipping out a water or my phone or whatever else I think of because there are so many pockets. The zippers are incredibly easy to handle.
The lava color is nice and high-vis. Perfect for not getting hit by cars.
Pair this with a "Life Worth Living" patch and the vibe is electric, standing out from any other sling pack on the market. Well done, NoSurrenderGear.

Perfect sized pack for the overthinking, over prepping dweeb I am. Pouches (with zippers!) and pockets to keep all your things organized.
If youre not treating it like a bugout bag, this could easily be the perfect weekend getaway pack.
I'm a heavy machinery mechanic, far too often I have unknown spots of grease on me. This grey pack though? Handles grease smudges like a champ, and is easy to clean. So if that specific situation is a concern have no fear.
