Maxpedition Prepared Citizen 26L Backpack - Dark Blue

Prepared Citizen 26L Pack

The Maxpedition Prepared Citizen 26L is a mid-size nylon backpack for everyday carry, day hikes and a packed bag kept ready by the door. Its 26-liter capacity holds a day's worth of clothing, water, food and kit without the bulk of an expedition pack. The dark blue finish and clean front reads as a regular commuter bag, while the buckled straps, patch panel and lash points give it the working features of a field pack.

Features

• 26-Liter Capacity — The main compartment is sized for daily carry and short trips, holding layers, a hydration bottle, food and a basic emergency kit.
• Nylon Construction — The body is made from nylon, a tough synthetic fabric that resists abrasion and stands up to regular use.
• Buckled Top Flap — A flap closes over the top of the pack and secures with twin side-release buckles, the quick-clip plastic fasteners you squeeze to open.
• Hook-And-Loop Patch Panel — A large loop-faced panel on the flap accepts morale patches, name tapes or ID patches with hook backing.
• Front Lashing Straps — Two vertical webbing straps run down the front with keeper loops, so you can strap a jacket, sleeping pad or similar item to the outside.
• Open Side Pocket — A slip pocket on the side gives quick access to a water bottle or items you reach for often.
• Side Zipper Access — A vertical zipper along the side panel lets you get into the pack without opening the top flap.
• Padded Shoulder Straps — Contoured, padded straps with a sternum strap and adjustment buckles spread the load across your shoulders and chest.
• Top Carry Handle — A webbing grab handle on top makes it easy to lift the pack from a vehicle, hook or floor.
• Lash Loop At Base — A webbing loop at the bottom of the front gives another anchor point for tying down external gear.

Build And Carry

Maxpedition built the Prepared Citizen line around practical, low-profile carry, and this 26L model follows that brief with a plain nylon shell, black webbing and black hardware. The front straps, base loop and top handle add tie-down and grab points without hanging bulky pouches off the outside. Pick it if you want one pack that works for the commute, the trail and a ready bag at home.
