Rummaging through your bag trying to find your gear is the last thing you want—especially when you're in a rush. All that useful storage space you want in your EDC bag can sometimes be a double-edged sword. When you're carrying light, smaller items seem to get swallowed up and disappear in your bag, making organizing gear that much harder.

With the Incognito Quad, Maxpedition has put out a tough nylon messenger bag with organization at its core. The bag gets its name from the four external pockets that line the bag, each with a clear and defined role to accommodate your EDC. One is perfect for fitting your water bottle. Right next to it is a pocket with spaces for your pens and stationery. On the reverse side is a utility pocket for your smaller items, like a mobile device for example.

The CCW-compatible outer pocket has velcro pads for your own personal configuration. It's designed to open quick and easy via a pull tab, giving you reliable access to what you put inside. The internal main compartment fits larger objects, like a 13” laptop. It's well-padded for that extra protection, but it doesn't end there: the zippers can accommodate locks, making this bag great for travel as well.

Maxpedition built this bag with hard use in mind. It's made out of 1050 water and abrasion resistant nylon covered in Teflon for easy cleaning. Lastly, it uses YKK zippers outfitted with paracord zipper pulls, making them easier to operate.

The Incognito Quad has a proper place for everything in your everyday carry. You can pick one of these up for yourself at the Amazon link below.

In November 2015, Jonathan joined EverydayCarry.com and has since written numerous articles and guides to help impart his knowledge to the community as a whole.

Jonathan's photographic works have appeared on numerous online websites, print, video, and television outlets for over a decade. Jonathan's previous clients include Blizzard Entertainment, Red Bull, ESL, Razer, and several other endemic and non-endemic esports sponsors and brands. His work also features heavily in online competitive gaming communities, especially those of the StarCraft and Fighting Game genres. You've likely seen his work if you've spent time in a stream or in-game chat over the years.
