This looks like it may give my Tadgear pack a run for its money!
Quick photos of a proto we got in. We are going to make some minor changes such as adding the MOLLE cross straps to the shoulder straps. These will be offered in colors. They are very heavily built and high quality. Water bladder compatible. 3 compartments with compression straps. Shoulder and waist straps stow in the back of the pack out of sight and out of the way in case you just want to use this as a carry bag on a plane. We do not have all the specs on this yet as far as cubic inches, etc. Mike knows more about this project than I do so he may be able to answer more of the questions. Should be shipping these to customers around the beginning of Spring. No pricing yet. Made in Colombia.

One in the same Spartan. Jeff is "The Jeff".
His article on Go Bags was a good read. Most of us around here like Max gear, but if ESEE produces this pack, it will be a good competitor from what we know. I too like lots of pockets and pouches and of course MOLLE webbing.
There's a lot of info out there on the different Max bags. From all my research, I'm leaving the Pygmy for day hikes and the like and the Falcon II for a Go Bag and primary pack. The Vulture is good for longer outings.
Thanks for the info, I wasn't to sure if it was the same guy, also got a swat magazine, and was informed he writes articles in it too! I am pretty dense...
I guess I will wait on a go bag, and just wait to see how this bag develops!
