Built for the Real World
We designed the EDC Backpack with real-life use in mind—something you’ll actually want to carry. Whether it’s your laptop, chargers, notebooks, or everyday gear, this bag keeps everything in its place without being bulky or overbuilt.
From the hidden back pocket to the side bottle cinch, every feature is there for a reason. No fluff. Just functional design that makes your day easier.
Comfortable, Durable, and Understated
We didn’t want just another tactical-looking bag. This one flies under the radar, with subtle styling and rugged materials that blend in anywhere. It’s tough enough for the job site, but clean enough for the office.
We spent extra time dialing in the straps—padded, supportive, and designed to stay put thanks to a non-slip backing. You’ll feel the difference when you throw it on.
Made in Selma, North Carolina
Like all of our gear, the EDC Backpack is built with care by our team in Selma, NC. We take pride in using high-quality materials from American suppliers to deliver gear that lasts.
Everyday Carry, Done Right
Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just heading to the range, the EDC Backpack is built to be your go-to bag. It’s got everything you need, nothing you don’t—and it won’t slow you down.
Almost perfect. I never leave reviews but I wanted to in the hopes somebody at Lynx sees this and improves it. This bag needs a little structural padding… something to hold its shape as the outside pockets get loaded. If you put any weight in there, the bag will collapse in on itself. I like to use this for range work too, and there’s absolutely no padding or structural rigidity in the main compartment, so if I don’t pack my pistol(s) well, I’m nervous to throw the bag around as one should be able to given the materials used in its construction. A little padding in the shoulder straps wouldn’t hurt either. The materials used can obviously support a decent amount of weight… the straps should be able to support that comfortably as well.
Some friends recommended cutting a little cardboard out to lay into the bottom of the pack, so I’ll try that. I’m also going to try the soft armor insert as well… that might help too.
Otherwise, I love this backpack, and I keep coming back to it every time I think I’ve found a new range bag to try. I have an addiction to bags and I keep coming back to this EDC pack, so that’s a great sign.

I bought one in black and one in gray. Right out of the box I can tell it’s fantastic quality. I love everything about the bag except the shoulder strap placement. They are spaced closer than other edc bags I have, which makes it carry a little bit differently than others, but I can get used to that. The only real concern I have with that is it puts more “pull” on the inside of the straps than the outside, and with a heavy load would it start to pull out the seams? I dont know. Only use will tell. Again, overall it’s a fantastic product and I would definitely buy again!

Great customer service. I love this pack, plenty of room for all that I carry with me. Quality of craftsmanship and materials are first rate. I just ordered a pistol range bag and looking forward to receiving it. American products are unbeatable!!

I just purchased this and I am very happy with it. In the process of figuring out what items to put in each of the pockets. A couple of suggestions though… A pistol sleeve or padded pocket inside the back compartment. And maybe use some HD magnets to hold the back compartment closed, the current zipper makes it a little conspicuous!!!

High quality materials mated with made in the USA craftsmanship! This EDC bag is big enough to hold all of the essentials, but not so big that it becomes cumbersome. Great product from a great company!

Two years old and still the best backpack I have owned and I use it every day.
It’s a great size for everyday use and lightly packed one night trips.
Made from strong and durable Cordura yet lightweight.
MADE IN USA by skilled workers.

I bought this on pre order. I had messaged them on Instagram before they ever released a backpack asking about one.
They came through! This one knocks it out of the park for me! The straps are super comfortable. It’s not overly big and it’s not so small I feel like a little kid with it. It’s built with just the same quality as the range bag. You can tell by feel this is a good quality product.
If you’re thinking about getting one just get it!
