I have been using the NSG bag I bought to replace my EDC go-bag. It is awesome. Takes a little getting used to because I had been carrying the other bag for almost 20 years. But it was time to retire it. Regardless of that, this bag rocks. It is comfortable, big enough, but not too big, good quality material both inside and out, enough pockets and zippers to hold what matters, and the water bottle pocket is what really makes it over the top.
Thanks for making quality gear that does not break my bank.
Great beast of a bag to utilize for carrying more than you need, but everything you need for work, casual, and workouts. I got this to put in my CrossFit or cycling gear as well as changes of clothes for the day. I’ve also used it for travel which is great. It’s not rigid, so if you carry a laptop, make sure it’s protected. The duffel to backpack feature is great.
So far, this is my EDC pack and I really like it!!! One comment I made, was that I REALLY wish the inner laptop sleeve was removeable. I do NOT like laptop sleeves. If I am wanting a bag to carry a laptop, I would select one for that option. However, as this will never ever carry one, I removed it to give a little more room in the pack. Other than that, I love this pack!
The Paradigm is a very well made and designed bag. It’s perfect for picture taking jaunts and for everyday outs and about. Looking at the Raidian rig next.
