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.

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.

Tested for 1 week, it's a great bag. Perfect for day trips.
The ultimate bag, in the 20 l range in EDC, in this price range, there is no better. The Direct Action Dust is a wonderful EDC backpack.
The strength (Cordura 500D = the right compromise between strength and lightness), sturdy YKK® zippers, Duraflex® material, Padded computer sleeve, 550 woven cord carrying handle, Ventilated back panel - Combat Vent System® the number of storage compartments, the MOLLE system, the size, the comfort once on the back, everything borders on perfection.
The price is the only obstacle to this purchase, even if the Varuste.net site has the best price.
A pleasure during daily use. I recommend, just check if the volume corresponds to your use.

There are plenty of pockets, the backpack also expands when you pack it and when you unpack it, it recovers and doesn't get left in the trash. Straight.
I haven't tested the water resistance. The adjustments are a minus, shoulder girths, etc. You can't stand it, but you have to fix it often.
Extra plus from the pockets and additional attachment from the multitude of possibilities!

Very well made pack. Perfect for day trips. I bought this as a carry-on bag to hold my camera, laptop, tablet, headphones and small accessories needed on trips. The coyote color is very nice, it’s got a brown-ish tint to it and looks nicer than the typical sand color. I wish it had a detachable waist strap like the larger packs, but it stows away pretty nicely. Would like a few more patch mounting strips, but this is really minor. Overall a very good pack!
