FAQs

What is the capacity of the Direct Action Dragon Egg Mk2 Backpack?

The Direct Action Dragon Egg Mk2 Backpack has a capacity of 25 liters.

What material is the backpack made from?

It is constructed from durable and water-resistant 500D Cordura fabric.

Can I fit a laptop in this backpack?

Yes, it features a dedicated compartment designed to fit laptops up to 15 inches.

Is the backpack suitable for hydration bladders?

Yes, it includes a concealed back compartment with a hydration pocket, typically designed for 2-3 liter bladders.

How do I clean the backpack?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow to air dry.

What does the Combat Vent System do?

The Combat Vent System is a specialized back panel design that enhances airflow between the pack and your back, improving ventilation and comfort during use.

What is the purpose of the laser-cut MOLLE system?

The laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system allows for modular attachment of external pouches and accessories, enabling users to customize the backpack's configuration for specific needs.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Straps are uncomfortable or slipping.

Adjust the shoulder straps and sternum strap for a snug fit. Ensure the hip belt (if used) is properly tightened to distribute weight. Re-evaluate the load distribution inside the pack.

Water is seeping through the fabric in heavy rain.

The backpack is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For extended or heavy downpours, use a dedicated backpack rain cover or store sensitive items in waterproof dry bags inside the pack.

MOLLE attachments are not secure.

Ensure the MOLLE straps on your pouches are correctly threaded through the PALS webbing on the backpack. Check if the pouches are designed for standard MOLLE compatibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and water-resistant construction using 500D Cordura.
  • Extensive customization options via the laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system.
  • Comfortable to wear for extended periods due to padded straps and Combat Vent System.
  • Well-organized interior with dedicated compartments for laptop and hydration.
  • Reliable components like YKK zippers and Duraflex buckles.

Cons

  • 25-liter capacity might be too small for multi-day expeditions.
  • Laser-cut MOLLE might be less compatible with older, traditional MOLLE pouches compared to sewn-on webbing.
  • While water-resistant, it's not fully waterproof; prolonged heavy rain may require additional protection.
  • The Adaptive Green/Coyote colorway might not suit all tactical or outdoor environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This backpack is designed for immediate use. Simply adjust the padded shoulder straps and, if needed, the detachable hip belt for a secure and comfortable fit. The internal compartments are ready for your gear. Attach any additional pouches or accessories to the laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system as required.

Compatibility:

  • MOLLE/PALS System: Compatible with most standard MOLLE/PALS pouches and accessories. Note that laser-cut MOLLE may have slightly different spacing than traditional webbing.
  • Hydration: Designed to accommodate most 2-3 liter hydration bladders.
  • Laptop: Fits laptops up to 15 inches in its dedicated, padded compartment.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the backpack using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the backpack to air dry completely. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers.
  • Water Resistance: While the fabric is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require the use of a separate rain cover for maximum protection. Do not submerge the backpack in water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
