I have had my Typhoon about a Two years its its a great bag, its suvived summer camp and also skining holiday and many many hours of training, its my main bag and you can tell with the quality it almost looks new
Great review! Mine arrived today ( 1 day early ) from Maxpedition. This pack is by far the best I have owned. This is my first backpack from MaxPed..I have only owned gearslingers and pouches until now. Just added a couple web dominators and this pack is perfect! Thanks for the discount!!!
I've used the "Y" harness many times well flying as my carry on. A Sitka... and it holds my rolled up hoodie or light jacket perfectly! And since last time I flew to Caribbean they lost my luggage and Sitka was all I had. Came through in a pinch with what i could fit in it!... did I wish I had a Typhoon or a Kodiak bigger slinger?.... well yes of couse
Awesome review, been looking for a good EDC pack. I have a Maxpedition side pack/pouch. I love the durability, but also the way they break in. Very rugged comfortable gear.
Originally, I was hesitant due to the prices, but I've my Maxpedition FR1 Carry Pouch for about six months. Nothing I've seen beats the quality. It's a brilliant piece of tactical gear that I carry everywhere as my every day carrier (mostly for first aid, as it's designed for), it still looks and feels like brand new. :-)
Great review, how comfortable are the shoulder straps and the back? Right now I have right shoulder in pain that I'm using a HAZARD 4 SLING BAG wearing on my left shoulder.
Very informative review. Thinking about getting the Typhoon as a small urban or country side picnic or day pack. I am thinking that it would be a good compliment to my Vulture 2 which is a little bigger than I might want for the family trip to the zoo or a theme park.
Great video, thanks for sharing! For some reason, mine doesn't have the shock cord on the side.....? Not to worry as I've attached the maxpedition bottle holder on to it anyway. 😉
@Martina Dejaquiz WARNING: PLEASE READ!!! I like maxpedition and all there bags but if you are looking to buy this bag, I might have a better one for you for the same price. The Maxpedition Liftcore is similar to the typhoon, it has two straps, and is comfortable, it looks less "tactical" and it is good for every day carry. It is from the new advanced gear research line and has more modern looks and materials, it can hold two nalgene water bottles on the two side water bottle pockets and it has two main compartments. One medium sized front compartment with organization features and one main big compartment that has clam shell opening, it is 17 liters and I believe it out performs the typhoon 2. It also has a tension strap on the bottom to strap a tent or jacket. All these great features and it's still small, you don't have to carry around a huge backpack when you can carry a small, up to date backpack!!! I strongly recommend looking into the maxpedition LIFTCORE backpack.
I shot my vulture 2 with my 2500 pound pressure washer, nothing got wet accept for the webbing. I'll be buying more maxpedition gear soon,thanks for turning me on to this product Don.
great quality video. definitely shows the quality of the pack well. just wish it wasnt so costly. hard for the average joe to pay that much for just a pack. BTW you have an awesome channel.
Hey sootch, I've subscribed for a while now and love the channel! I have one suggestion after watching alot of gear reviews all over youtube: It would be great if you included negative comments in some of your reviews! It adds credibility and helps us see that you're independent and not just selling stuff or looking for free gear. Thanks for the videos!
Cool pack I wish it had a mesh waterbottle pocket on the one side. I really wish maxpedition would make a Molle mesh waterbottle pocket. I would put them on my Camelbak packs.
Let's say I used this pack as a 2 day camping bag, where could I put my tent and sleeping bag? How could I possibly attach a kydex sheath to the molle? Thanks for the video as well Scootch!
After seeing your thorough review on the Falcon II, I finally got it in Khaki as well from Maxpedition Philippines about a week ago. The staff managing their Facebook page is really kind enough to help me get the bag through shipping because I can't visit their store. Now your review on the Typhoon is starting to sink in. LOL. Budget is already halfway there, haha. But im confused on which color to get -- Black is great for urban edc but the Khaki-Foliage also looks cool. Decisions decisions. Haha
i was at adventureland and we were on a water ride, so i got soaked and i forgot i had my maxpedition micro wallet in my pocket. but there was no need to worry because when my pocket and leg were soaked my wallet was completely dry!!
Kind of torn on what to get. Would you recommend this or the Falcon II for an EDC pack for a college kid? I've narrowed it down to these 2, thanks largely in part to your reviews. The water resistance is the main selling point for me because I've lost count of how many times I've been caught on campus in the rain, that and I can be rough on gear like this. Biggest concern is keeping the pack as small as possible, while maintaining the ability to carry a textbook or 2 that may be 9 or 10" wide.
Falcon-II is bigger. For college I'd rather go with Typhoon. I got both, and when riding by motorbike, I have found the Typhoon to be better : goes less high, does not annoy me with helmet. The Typhoon is a very good bag for everyday carry. It"s wider, and less taller. Your books will fit fine. Falcon-II is fantastic for doing outside in nature :)
Guybrush Threepwood I actually ended up ordering the Typhoon maybe a day or two after posting that comment. For what I need to carry, it's a good size. Kind of a tight fit, but I like that versus having a lot of unused space and unnecessary bulk. My laptop (Lenovo Y400) won't fit though, just barely too tall. Luckily I don't really have to carry it with me, though it would be nice to have on campus sometimes. So for anyone else wondering about these packs, go with something a little taller if you have to carry a laptop with you.
Might cost some coin up front, but Max gear will last a lifetime of hard use. I've got a couple of their packs and a few other accessory items and everything is made unbelievably well. Super tough! I'll spend my money on quality.
Very nice bag! If i were to purchase anything from maxpedition it would either be this or the "unterduffel" i believe its called. Sootch! What is your all time favorite piece of maxpedition gear?
the Y buckle strap system is there so if you have a heavy load out you crank it down so your dippers DO NOT blow out i would never take it out.i rather take 2 seconds to move it out of the way of a pouch then blow my zippers out. food for thought
*When you're trying to look tactical, but come off looking like a city slicker lost in the woods.*
*That beginning...* 🤣
Maxpedition really provides some stellar equipment! Way to show it for it's worth!
Great review again! Thanks for doing these.
Also, great review. very detailed, and I love the outtakes!
Scotch
Thank you for you time and effort you put into you videos
You’re My Goto Sir !
Being in the shooting Industry for 20 years I have discovered "finally" that you get what you pay for. . . excellent gear / thank you sir
Sootch, you got me hooked on Maxpedition a while back. Now I am hooked once again. Thanks for the great review and cool pack!
I have had my Typhoon about a Two years its its a great bag, its suvived summer camp and also skining holiday and many many hours of training, its my main bag and you can tell with the quality it almost looks new
Superb and super informative vid, Sootch!
Fantastic Review! Thanks For Sharing!
I love my Maxpedition Operator briefcase. Nice review!

Nice Review as always , Many Thanks.
I have this bag in black and love it.
i may get one of these for my bug out bag... this looks REALLY nice the MOLLE stuff and the attachments i can make looks nice.....

the Y harness is great for putting a jacket when you get to warm, or bring along a rain jacket etc.....
Great job, you sold me on the Typhoon
That night have been a European 2.54 centimeter worm, Sootch.
That looks like a great size.
I've used the "Y" harness many times well flying as my carry on. A Sitka... and it holds my rolled up hoodie or light jacket perfectly!
And since last time I flew to Caribbean they lost my luggage and Sitka was all I had. Came through in a pinch with what i could fit in it!... did I wish I had a Typhoon or a Kodiak bigger slinger?.... well yes of couse
Just Purchased.. Great review as always.
Always have a pack for each use and situation, my osprey Aether 70 in XL is awesome, definitely something to consider when getting a multi day pack
Thanks for the info.
thanks Sootch! great review. I just picked up the Mongo Versipack, that's going to be my BOB, but I like this for a EDC/Hiking pack.
very nice!
great video Sootch00 i just ordered me one, can't wait to get it.....
Awesome review, been looking for a good EDC pack. I have a Maxpedition side pack/pouch. I love the durability, but also the way they break in. Very rugged comfortable gear.
Great Review! Just Ordered
I take it that worm friend really liked the blending colors of the greenish forest khaki ;)
Nice review.
Hey Sootch, great vid... what binoculars are you using that would fit into that small pocket?
Maxpedition is awesome,have a couple different sizes,my latest one was the thermite,nice bag,thanks Sootch
Looks like a great pack
Great looking pack. I want one
Originally, I was hesitant due to the prices, but I've my Maxpedition FR1 Carry Pouch for about six months. Nothing I've seen beats the quality. It's a brilliant piece of tactical gear that I carry everywhere as my every day carrier (mostly for first aid, as it's designed for), it still looks and feels like brand new. :-)
Always awesome!!!!!!
You get my Thumbs-Up for the two closing sentences alone!!!!
The only maxpedition pack I currently have is the versipack jumbo. I have had it for 3 years and carried it a lot and it still looks new.
Answered my question in the first 45 seconds, thanks Sootch!
i like that pack, A LOT
would love to see you do a factory tour of Maxpedition
Very nice!
Been wanting a small pack like this one. Sling packs tend to shift when bush waking
A very timely review for me. I'm looking for a new get home bag and this may be the one, thanks. I like the inch worm by the way.
Great vid & review, thanks for sharing!
Peace, David
is the molly stitching taped inside to prevent water ingress???
Just ordered mine
Great review, how comfortable are the shoulder straps and the back?
Right now I have right shoulder in pain that I'm using a HAZARD 4 SLING BAG wearing on my left shoulder.
I have a regular jansport backpack that's been going strong for 7 years.... :) I really want this Typhoon
Very informative review. Thinking about getting the Typhoon as a small urban or country side picnic or day pack. I am thinking that it would be a good compliment to my Vulture 2 which is a little bigger than I might want for the family trip to the zoo or a theme park.

Can't find the beginning intro music of this video on CZcams.

Do you know by chance how many liters that bag is would you say it's less or more than 24
Cool pack I wish it had a mesh waterbottle pocket on the one side. I really wish maxpedition would make a Molle mesh waterbottle pocket. I would put them on my Camelbak packs.
Really like my Typhoon but I dont like that they did away with the conceal carry pocket and hydration tube holes. It really is a nice size tho.
I can't seem to find an "empty weight" on it...you have that info?
@sootch00 is your coupon code good for sale items as well?
hello :) can you tell, can it fit my 13"/33cm laptop ? or measure height of main compartment please
i have 6 packs and i have the typhoon - great pack
yep they do honor if tell them sootch. they give you 10% discount, tried it already. thanks don.
I might buy......soon.
Let's say I used this pack as a 2 day camping bag, where could I put my tent and sleeping bag? How could I possibly attach a kydex sheath to the molle? Thanks for the video as well Scootch!
What do you think is the best pack from Maxpedition pack for bug out? U are the man btw.
Is it simallor to the MAXPEDITION CONDOR 2 in some ways?
i thumbed-it-up! older vid, but i still want this pack - thx!
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would the full size iPad fit in the admin pouch?
you should do a survival fishing kit

Got this pack cause of this video
i was at adventureland and we were on a water ride, so i got soaked and i forgot i had my maxpedition micro wallet in my pocket. but there was no need to worry because when my pocket and leg were soaked my wallet was completely dry!!
Just noticed these are a close-out item for $96.00 ON THE Maxpedition website.
Hey sootch or anyone, what is a good 3 -4 day bag that you would recommend?
They really make great diaper bags!
another thumbs up video!

As always thanks for this video. I support this site.
~M~
Sootch, do you own Maxpedition's ChowDown Personal Cooler? If so, you should do a review on it. Its almost beach season! As always, great video.
I use Maxpedition for my diaper bag. Awesome.
Nice bag, but i'm still holdin on to my condor II
Might cost some coin up front, but Max gear will last a lifetime of hard use. I've got a couple of their packs and a few other accessory items and everything is made unbelievably well. Super tough! I'll spend my money on quality.
Hey Sootch, your vertical display of the US flag is wrong. Just fyi.
Thanks for the vids, as always, a pleasure to watch
"Water is everywhere outdoors."
*Looks out at Big Bend country.*
*Is confused.*
;-)
What would be better for school? This or the Falcon 2?
niether... a normal backpack...
Very nice bag! If i were to purchase anything from maxpedition it would either be this or the "unterduffel" i believe its called. Sootch! What is your all time favorite piece of maxpedition gear?
i dont belive so he has a review on the condor backpack though
the Y buckle strap system is there so if you have a heavy load out you crank it down so your dippers DO NOT blow out i would never take it out.i rather take 2 seconds to move it out of the way of a pouch then blow my zippers out. food for thought
What’s ‘Codura’?
