I've owned the Switchblade for several years now, it's my daily pack - absolutely love it!

Switchblade is my EDC pack too. I do like it for that. I tend to use some smaller bags and pouches for organization inside. I love the lid/clamshell opening. The side pockets are probably the main issue as they can impede the inside, but hasn’t been a huge issue for me.

Considering this for day hikes, commuting (motorcycle) , work trips…thanks for the good overview.

Do you bring this as a personal bag or carry on for air travel?

Cool review, maybe I missed it. Will it hold a hydration pack? What size you think? And I see reviews it gray man, no it’s not gray man. Your thoughts?

How are the shoulder straps against bare skin while hiking? Are they a cheese grater?

Hi! I noticed you had a blue pack laying on the table. Was that a switchblade too? I thought the blue version came without the molle or am I misstaking? Have a nice day!
