The EVADE Pack from Alpha One Niner

Recently Alpha One Niner released their new RECON NINE EVADE pack. You could safely call it a pack for gear nerds, by gear nerds–but you don't have to be a gear nerd to appreciate and use it. It all started the summer before last with a discussion about crowdsourcing a backpack on the popular site EDCforums.com.  Getting everything down to a decent compromise took months before production could even be dreamed of. So, what you're about to see is a culmination of all of the ideas, with a skilled eye at deleting the extraneous and combining features to maximize useful space.

Here's what they have to say about it:

“I've been 1K or Platinum with United for a couple of years now and have been through enough security and covered enough countries to have more than just a basic idea of what I'd like to see in a backpack. I've covered East Africa to East Timor in the last 10 years and I always needed a backpack that I can go from daypack to extended trips to basic operational use when needed. And thanks to input from members of the EDC Forum, we've got a winner here especially with the ability to mount the simple yet innovative Matroskya pouches!” ……..Helm Ashiblie / Founder, Alpha One Niner
