Review of the Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy
During this review, the Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy is being used as a day pack and an overnight camping pack. With this sized pack your not going to strap a -20 degree sleeping bag and a 4 man dome tent to it. The Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy is designed for a certain purpose and it serves that roll very well.
One of the first things that is noticed about the Pygmy is its size, but do not let that fool you. Its a well designed pack that is rough and tough. 1,000 denier cordura was used in the construction of the pack, internal seams are taped and finished, and the pack has a capacity of around 1,400 cubic inches.
