Maxpedition – Riftblade And Entity 19 CCW-Enabled Backpacks Review
Widely recognized as one of the best tactical soft gear producers, Maxpedition has made precisely this the company’s mission. Dating back to 2003 they have specialized in innovation and development of MOLLE system pieces. From civilians, contractors to law enforcement, Maxpedition delivers.
Initially serving the armed forces and law enforcement circles by creating the best equipment available they would gain a solid global reputation. New designs and developments would be received well by the market as the business would grow.
Over the next 15 years, Maxpedition would expand its reach and capabilities. The creation of the AGR (Advanced Gear Research) line and Entity Series in recent years would be a significant asset for the company. The Entity Series is Maxpedition’s foray into the concealed carry market, producing low-profile gear for which there is high demand.
Aside from superior design, factors like manufacturing, quality control, material selection, etc. differentiate Maxpedition. Since the customers are who keep them in business, the company has always had a strong connection with them.
Always taking into account their needs, users have the chance to influence what is made directly. Since customers can provide direct feedback and quality advice, Maxpedition can produce pieces that are more of what the end users need.
In the market for a new EDC bag but want to make sure it is quality? If the mission statement of Maxpedition has any bearing, you would be looking at high-quality gear based on in-house designs by a company which strives to provide customers with world-class service and support while being ethically and socially responsible.
Our experience with Maxpedition products has been extremely positive, and we enjoy what we have seen. Take a look below for more on what we thought of Maxpedition.
