![]() The deep pockets and elasticated webbing hold everything neat and tidy. The front admin compartment is perfect for holding notebooks, stationery, cables or wires and electronics. If you were using a down filled sleep system, you may even get an overnighter into it! It will generously hold a tarp and hammock setup, along with any tools, equipment or containers you may be carrying. At 34 litres, this is one of the biggest packs Maxpedition produce. This is particularly useful in the field, meaning no rummaging to the bottom of your pack to find something. As stated above, the pack opens in a clamshell style. Compartmentalisation of your gear in the admin pouch, as well as the spacious main compartment, mean you can quickly and easily access any of your gear. ![]() When it comes to using the Tiburon as an outdoors pack, it fares just as well. The elasticated holds on the nylon seatbelt straps mean you can tidily fold and tuck excess material, ensuring avoidance of any incumbrance, both in an urban environment or in the great outdoors, where brambles and low branches are easy to get tangled in. With the side pouches holding 32oz bottles, the pack barely extends the width of my elbows to the sides.Īnother annoyance with packs can be excess straps or buckles flapping about and getting caught. However, the width and depth of the Tiburon make it perfect for moving through busy streets. Furthermore, an unbalanced pack shape reduces the carriers mobility and balance. One of my pet peeves when it comes to backpacks, is a profile that’s overly wide on the sides or sticking out at the back, annoying people or stumbling through crowds of people or even waiting at a bus stop. The Tiburon does not suffer this fate, and could be carrying a laptop to college as easily as a law enforcers equipment. Very often, military or law enforcement grade equipment can stand out and look somewhat aggressive or treating with its “tactical” aesthetic. Ergonomically sleek, balanced and unassuming, it will blend into any urban environment without causing a second glance. Tiburon means shark in Spanish, and it’s easy to see how it got its name. The hip belt will allow the pack to sit high and comfortable on your back, making load baring feel balanced and comfortable. The same nylon seatbelt material has been used here. When you are using them, loops on the side aid both in pulling them free and as loops to carry gear, in my case, my gloves. The hip straps are equally as well thought out, with the ability to tuck them away completely into the back of the pack when carrying lighter weight or not required. Its easily accessible and visible, even in low light conditions. Combining the brightly coloured interiors with the clamshell style opening system means that you will never need to go digging for any piece of gear. The interiors are all 500-Denier white nylon. The 1000-Denier light-weight ballistic nylon fabric makes up the majority of the shell and the Nylon Seatbelt Webbing used on the straps is personally one of my favourite things about this pack. The YKK zippers are all lockable, with robust grip pulls designed to be usable with gloves on, perfect for law enforcement or tactical needs, not to mention being in the woods on a cold morning, which is more often the case for me than the former two examples. ![]() I will attempt to cover much of it here as I see benefit in. Every inch of this pack seems to have been meticulously thought out. There is so much about the Tiburon that appeals to me that I genuinely struggle to find a fault in it. Results of these tests are shared with the law enforcement community, and to have such a stamp of approval is regarded by many law enforcement agencies as paramount to their product purchasing decisions. NTOA members have tested more than 2,000 products in real-world situations through the NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program (MTRP) since 2003. That being said, the Tiburon has been approved by the National Tactical Officers Association. When I got this pack, I wanted to see how it would suit my needs. I am of course, not a law enforcement officer or someone who would ever have a “tactical” use for a backpack, so I would never pretend to understand the nuances of what such a person would require of their gear. Professionals, often law enforcement and military personnel, who demand the highest standard from their equipment. It’s obvious that Maxpedition care about their products and their customer base. Their products, for example the Maxpedition Tiburon, are built and designed through rigorous and strenuous testing, using quality materials. ![]() Maxpedition's reputation for producing top-quality backpacks is no fluke.
