Product Details
Handy foldaway backpack downsizes into a compact PALS compatible packet

The MERLIN™ Folding Backpack is a light-weight "escape-and-evasion" style backpack that folds into itself to form a small PALS-compatible packet which can be attached to your belt or the exterior PALS webbing of other Maxpedition® bags using
#9903 3" TACTIE® and #9905 5" TACTIE ATTACHMENT STRAPS. When unfolded, the main compartment of the pack will hold approximately 1080 cu. in. of gear. A separate rear compartment with Hook-&-Loop enclosure and internal top D-Ring attachment point is able to accommodate a 100oz/3L hydration reservoir (not included) or flat items such as maps, travel documents, folded towel, or jacket. Dual upper and lower exterior front pockets allow for organization of smaller items. Our unique zipper pull limiter system allows user to adjust the direction of lower pocket opening depending on the pack's folded or unfolded state. Important note: the body of the Merlin™ backpack is made from tough 420-Denier coated nylon fabric for flexibility and easy folding. Frontal pockets are made from 1000-Denier coated nylon fabric.

"like this a lot"

M.R, on 1/26/2011 7:10:07 PM

Comments: I really like this idea. I think I'm going to include one in my next maxpedition order. I will attach this to my Lunada. That way the next time I go to the local honey festival with my cousin and my grandmother and they come ill prepared, I will be prepared for them. Either i can put my Lunada on my chest and my merlin on my back or i can just make them carry all the stuff they bought out there themselves. I would like to see two versions of this. One exactly the same dimensions, but i would lik... More details


"Unique Design; Tons of Uses"

Tactical Tradecraft on 10/7/2010 12:09:18 AM

Comments: Every now and then a product comes along that makes you say, "What a great concept." The Maxpedition MERLIN Folding Backpack is that product. You can come up with so many different uses for this bag that the ideas are practically endless. First of all, it is a Maxpedition product so you know it is high quality.

"Excellent bag"

M Williams on 7/29/2009 3:56:21 PM

Comments: Keep one in my saddlebag both for my personal and work bike. You never know when you need extra packing space or warmer gear.


"The Magnificent Merlin"

Daniel Mc on 7/9/2009 9:29:17 AM

Comments: Great hide-a-way pack. I keep them in all my vehicles as a GHB (Get Home Bag). It is small and compact when not in use to save on space. It expands to the right size to fit what I need to make it home. I can easily attach anything to it with Tac Tie straps or D-Rings like my FR-1 Pouch that has my essentials. Thank you for a great pack!!
