Tactical bags offer bulletproof reliability, but they often make you stand out in a crowd. That’s not a good thing, especially if you EDC expensive electronics and valuables. If you want tactical performance without tactical looks, check out the Maxpedition Skyridge. It’s a low-profile tech messenger bag that’ll help you run incognito on the move.
You’d be hard-pressed to tell that the Skyridge is even a tactical bag. Gratuitous MOLLE webbing doesn’t cover its every square inch. Instead, it’s limited to the sides, where you’ll still have plenty of attachment points for gear. Even the hook-and-loop patch ID section on the flap looks decorative. When not in use, they don’t scream for attention. Only you’ll know their true purpose, and that’s the point.
With 12.5L capacity and the ability to accommodate up to a 13” laptop, the Skyvale is sized just right for essentials. There’s also plenty of internal pockets to help you manage and organize your carry, including a dedicated CCW pocket that could double as a security pocket for stashing valuables. The Skyvale’s strong padding and solid water resistant nylon will also give you peace of mind even if you end up carrying it through rough situations.
The Skyridge is available in three different colors: black, gray, and tan. If you want a larger version of the bag with the same features, check out the Skyvale as well. It’ll fit up to a 17” laptop and the rest of your gear. You can grab the smaller Skyridge in black at the link below.
