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)
Overall this a great pack. Seems well made and a lot of thought went into it. Seems bigger than a 25l in a good way. I love the lid and latch as well as the magnetic top and the zippers work great. The lid zipper pouch though could have been slightly better there’s about 4 inches above the zipper that’s closed off, the extra would have been a nice touch. And one of the zip pockets in the admin zippered section is so small it’s almost useless. It’ll hold a mini bug out knife for reference. I took the bag on a ruck today and stuffed it with 40 pounds, half weights and the rest with water bottles to give is some shifting weight. The bag held the weight no problem. Although it might not have been the most comfortable but it was a heavy load. I love the way the straps are adjustable but I had a hard time getting it right for my back, it’s not as comfortable as my mystery ranch 3 day assault, but the pockets and storage are mostly better. This will really make a fine day pack for hunting especially if your in a tree stand. Which is what I’ll mostly be using it for. No surrender has great customer service and it really is a nice pack. Happy I got it
The new updates are nice. Bag seems really well made. The updated buckles are nice. And I find the bag to be the perfect size. Not too big where you’re filling it with nonsense but just enough for the essentials. Looking forward to using it this hunting season. Great company and great customer support
Honestly I thought the original paradigm couldn't get any better and boy was i wrong, you guys did it with the 25! This is Honestly the best bag out there, its got all you need and then some, there's no way you guys can improve it anymore!
This is easily one of the best bags I've owned. Clearly excellent materials and the layout is phenomenal. All the little details they've included utilizing the space available while not feeling cluttered is a perfect balancing act.
