Review: Outstanding High Quality Pack! - I absolutely love the Direct Action Dragon Egg -- so much so that I've ordered three of them! I purchased one of the original Direct Action Dragon Eggs a few years ago to use as a bug out bag. Even though this is technically only classified as a 48 hour pack by most I was able to fit everything I wanted into it. It really stretches out (like an egg, as the name suggests) to have what feels like a much higher capacity than expected for a medium sized pack. There are also plenty of pockets/sleeves inside to provide excellent organization, as well as plenty of hooks and MOLLE on the outside to strap tons of extra stuff to it. The best part is the quality. I've abused the heck out of it, occasionally filling it too full and really stressing the zipper and fabric, and it's been thrown in and out of the back of my truck and grabbed by the super strong paracord drag handle more times than I can count. It holds up amazingly well to abuse. I did eventually have one of the pull tabs for a zipper come loose (due to my own abuse) and was really worried at first. Then I realized the ingenious way that these pull tabs are connected and how incredibly easy it is to fix the "problem" by just reinserting the paracord a bit farther in before sliding the tab that grips it back into place. I was massively impressed! Given that experience, I decided I wanted one for EDC (I have quite a bit of gear as a Security Officer who works outside, as I never know what the weather is going to be like). The MKII seems to be as well made as the original style. From what I can tell it's identical other than the updated Direct Action logo. All of my gear, including extra sets of dry underclothes and a thick hooded sweatshirt, and my lunch, fits with room to spare. I did consider getting a Ghost to use for my BOB as it's a bit larger, but from what I can tell the extra capacity is mostly in the detachable extra back portion. I've decided to get a MOLLE Condor Rip Away First Aid Kit to strap onto a Dragon Egg instead, as I want to use that extra portion for first aid supplies anyway and the Condor kit will detach more easily. I also made this decision because I really love the super tough paracord drag handle. I imagine the drag handle on the Ghost is fine, but it just doesn't look as tough, and I personally think the weaved paracord looks pretty damn cool. I was so impressed that I ordered another Dragon Egg for my best friend's Christmas present, and he loves it as well. I've noticed that it's nearly impossible to find these things used, and my opinion this is due to the fact that once people own them they just don't want to get rid of them. I certainly will be keeping mine, and Direct Action will be the first company I check with for similar needs in the future. They're a bit pricey, but an outstanding value. They're really worth the cost!
Review: Awesome!! - I absolutely love this bag. For those of us that are into EDC, we all have had a situation where our EDC bag, while useful for, well, every day, does not quite work as well for traveling due to its compact size. In my opinion, 25–27 L is an appropriate EDC size for a grown man. However, sometimes you just need a bigger bag. I am so happy that direct action made this bag in 30 L. I took this bag on a four-day trip to Puerto Rico, and although I had a couple pouches clamped onto the outside, the bag itself was big enough to be my ONLY bag on the trip! This bag was good enough for that trip, which included some extended hiking, and it was also small enough that I was able to carry it on the plane without anybody noticing it or saying anything, which saved me money, technically it's probably just a little bit too big for the whole "personal item" category. The belt on this bag is phenomenal. It's very comfortable and there's extra MOLLE webbing on it. It should be noted that the belt does look a bit ridiculous for the civilian world, but it can be removed very easily. One thing I didn't like? Despite all of the MOLLE webbing on the outside, there was, shockingly, no MOLLE webbing on the inside. There needs to be some kind of way to hang pouches and equipment built into the inside of the bag, it got kind of annoying on my trip having to dig through my bag for the different pouches that I had instead of having them all organized on built-in MOLLE like I can in my 5.11 bag. I had to spend $40 to buy a removable MOLLE frame insert, witch, while not terrible, is still not perfect. However, this is still an awesome bag. Here are my closing thoughts: 1. It's big enough for a person to travel for 3-4 days with no other bag, as long as the person knows what he's doing. 2. It's almost, but not quite, too big to be an EDC bag. If this were my EDC bag I would definitely takeoff the hit belt, it's an awesome hit belt but it's kind of ridiculous looking. 3. It's too big to be a gym bag that will fit in a standard gym locker. 4. It definitely has a tactical look to it, but removing the hip belt eases this quite a bit. Still, there's no getting around it, it looks overly tactical. 5. As addressed before, I wish it had some interior MOLLE webbing, either in the main compartment or the front compartment. Overall though, the organization aspect of the front compartment is decent. 6. The reason I'm using this bag instead of my 5.11 AMP 72 is because of one thing: exterior water bottle holders. As much as I love 5.11, they never seem to grasp the concept that people LIKE having exterior water bottle holders, which can also double as shoe holders. 7. This is really splitting hairs now, but I wish the bag was actually 1-3 L bigger. 8. I wish there was a few more Velcro patches on the outside for morale patches, but I was easily able to buy some extra Velcro patches that are compatible with MOLLE webbing. 9. I use this bag for coaching, for going to the gun range, for hiking, and for traveling. It's big enough to travel for 3–4 days, as noted above, but I wouldn't take this if I was trying to sleep in a tent or camp for an extended period of time, it's not quite big enough to hold a tent, food, all that stuff. I've only had this for a little bit over a month. I love it. I wish it came in a few more colors, and I hope that Direct Action considers making an even bigger version of this. We all know there is no perfect tactical/assault pack, but this one comes pretty close.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the backpack come with a warranty? Got it in Oct/Nov 2015, used less than 15 times, and the shoulder strap seems to be coming apart.**
A: I'm not sure about the warranty.  They are a good company.  I'm sure they'll fix it.  You must have got an oddball.  I have 2 of them.  One I use for. Coyote Hunting, the other for EDC.  They're very well made and have been worth every penny.  One of my favorite packs.  If you're looking for the "BEST" I'd suggest a Kifaru.  They make excellent packs for everything.  Spendy though.  Best of luck.

**Q: Do you need to include the sleeve when installing a camelback, or is the egg mk ii compartment sufficient to just install the reservoir?  thanks**
A: There are two compartment options for the Camelback bladder. Both would be sufficient without a separate sleeve. I use the separate back compartment since it has a large padded sleeve, padded on all side, and it's in a pocket by itself without any other objects poking it. Hope that helps.

**Q: is it bullet proof**
A: Not bullet proof but its durable bag..

**Q: Is the adaptive green color similar to foliage green or closer to a khaki color?**
A: It’s more of a foliage or OD green vs khaki .hope this help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tactical meets practical, FINALLY!
*by J***L on February 11, 2016*

I was digging up wild onions in the mountains (real mountains, not those hills you yuppies have out east) and scaling 10k + peaks you've never heard of, literally at too young an age to remember when I started. When I joined the army I was disappointed over the lack of quality of the molle A packs we were issued. Quite simply, it was obvious they had bought from the lowest bidder and these were considered far superior to the previous gen gear. As a result, when we deployed, many of the grunts, including myself opted to purchase milspec, civilian climbing/mountaineering bags. Having been very familiar with civilian mountaineering and climbing gear, I was frustrated by the lack of selection of quality bags, that also fit milspec requirements. Some companies have made good efforts, blackhawk, 5.11 tac and so on, but they always fell short in one way or another and these were considered the best of the best at the time. When I bought this pack, I was expecting more of the same, but I am happy to say, that for me (and I'm very high maintenance when it comes to gear), this pack is absolutely perfect. Very tough, plenty of space when you need it, with the ability to sinch it down when you don't, separate compartments that are sized well, lots of sturdy molle, or molle type straps for climbing/repelling gear and very well balanced when loaded down for a 3 day OP. I also love the 550 cord top handle, very handy if you're in a bind. Brilliantly designed by folks with obvious mountaineering/combat experience, excellent quality, very practical and best of all it's real pretty! Simply put, this is the best A pack I've ever owned by a long shot. Not only would I recommend this to a friend, I would recommend it to be standard issue for all grunts of all branches.
