I put together this Maxpedition Gearslinger review because I recently bought one of these bags and am thoroughly impressed by the overall quality and usability. If you are looking for an ultra durable and well thought out pack, you should take a serious look at the Maxpedition products. I use mine for everything from an EDC pack, day hiking pack, single night bag, camera bag, to a range bag for my handguns, ammo and safety equipment.

The Maxpedition Lunada

The Maxpedition Lunada is a step up in size from the Remora. At 12x8x5 the pack will hold a considerably larger load than the bag above. I have seen load outs on this bag an it can hold quite a bit of gear. This bag is about the size of a small hiking daypack and is big enough to fit an ipad or netbook.

  • Main compartment: 12" x 8" x 3" front and back divider, internal loop field for CCW, inner organizer pocket
  • Front upper pocket: 7" x 3" x 1" with divider and elastic organizer loops
