The Direct Action Gear Dust Mk II Backpack is a compact and versatile 20+ liter pack designed for everyday carry and one-day missions. This backpack is perfect for those who need a reliable and organized solution for their daily essentials. It features two zippered compartments, with the main compartment housing a padded laptop or hydration sleeve and an accessory mesh pocket. The smaller compartment includes an internal organizer for notepads, GPS, writing utensils, and other essentials, along with a clear vinyl pocket for maps and documents.
Externally, the backpack has three flat pockets, with two side pockets that can stretch to fit water bottles. The front flat pocket is easily accessible for smaller items without needing to open the main compartments. The carrying straps and waistbelt are adjustable and can be stowed away in the back panel, transforming the pack into a sleek, no-snag hand luggage option.

Great backpack. It’s the perfect size for EDC, and the material is very robust.

Good on the back. Pockets inside the backpack are adequate so that when used at work, the laptop can fit in its own pocket.
The “off-road properties” have not yet been tested, but the position of the hydration bladder seems reasonable. Likewise the hose outlet.
I haven't owned many “combat backpacks” but this is clearly the best of them. The previous couple have been more or less cheap backpacks and you can tell the difference.| Overall rating |
Been in almost daily use for a few months now. The quality seems good. Stains and seams etc. lasted. The backpack itself is light.
The laptop pocket can fit a 16" macbook pro, the downside is that with a laptop that is too big, there is no protection for the upper edges other than the fabric of the backpack. Smaller laptops sneak inside the fully padded laptop pocket and are thus protected by the padding from all directions.
