Maxpedition Backpacks

[Thrash1982]

I'm looking into getting a new backpack for my last semester of college as I gave my old one to my sister who is starting college. I've narrowed my choices down to two. The Maxpedition Falcon or Condor. I really like the design of the Falcon but I'd like to be able to use this as a pack for short camping trip and I'm not sure if the Falcon would be quite big enough. The thing I'm wondering is; just how big is the Condor? Not sure I want to be walking around campus like a moron with a gigantic backpack for a just few books lol. I also like how the Falcon sort of collapses and i'm not sure if the Condor can do that. Anybody here have any experience with either of these?

Here's some photos from www.Maxpedition.com. The top pic is the Condor, the bottom is the Falcon. Hope they help. I'm partial to the Falcon, I plan on buying one this fall.

Alice webbing on a school backpack?

I have the falcon, it wasn’t wide enough for some of the books that I had. If you get a 3 ring binder bigger than 3 inch, forget about getting it in there and closing it. The condor, while big is not really that big.

go to REI and find one there. 1/3 the money and just as good for a school pack


or go to campmor using a 130 pack for school is like driving a champ car to work

I have a Condor. I may be putting it up for sale since I have an Osprey backpacking pack I use for big jobs now. Want it?
