HEAVY DUTY TACTICAL BACKPACK

The Dragon Egg Mk II is an updated version of our best selling backpack.

It’s a lightweight and versatile backpack designed for Military and Law Enforcement operators. This medium sized pack has a wide camo and solid color selection that also makes it a great choice for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. You can also get it in snow camo - PenCott SnowDrift™ for winter activities. The camo/color selections with the low profile look and feel makes it a perfect Everyday Carry (EDC) bag. If you’re looking for a heavy duty MOLLE backpack for your laptop, tablet, iPad, hydration bladder, etc. or just a solid base for your bug out bag (BoB) – Dragon Egg® made by Direct Action® is the best value for your money.

The Dragon Egg® is a 25+ liter backpack suitable for either short patrol duties or larger EDC pack. The pack features three zippered compartments. The main compartment has an internal hydration sleeve and mesh pocket. The main compartment also has a center tube exit for a hydration tube. The rear pocket features a padded sleeve which can be used for safely carrying multiband radio devices or a laptop. The front pocket of Direct Action® Dragon Egg® features a zippered mesh pocket and internal organizer for notepads, GPS, writing utensil, and other small essentials. 2 updated side pockets can carry small and flat items. Thanks to the newly added elastic,the side pockets will fit a standard U.S. canteen or nalgene water bottle. The Direct Action® Dragon Egg Mk II® also has a soft velour lined zippered pocket for glasses, cell phone, etc. The pack also has daisy chain webbing that runs along the front panel seam for attaching any carabiners or similar gear to the pack. Laser-cut system compatible with MOLLE/PALS makes the backpack not only fully modular, but also still maintains a low profile look. Laser-cut does not absorb water like traditional MOLLE/PALS webbing. Thanks to the egg shape, the pack has a smaller height and width than other packs with similar capacity and makes it more comfortable with belt kits or ballistic vests. Suspension system is based on comfortable shoulder straps and internal stiffener in the back. Waistbelt is detachable and can be stowed away. Made of durable 500D Cordura® nylon fabric with water resistant coating. Combat Vent System®, the innovative ventilation system used in backpacks, and provides increased comfort for their users. Made of contoured foam profiles with multiple air channels that are combined with airy mesh, CVS® keeps the pack off the back, which enhances air circulation preventing heat build-up and sweating, while the stiff foam ensures comfort and stability.

We also have two other backpacks available. Our 20+ liter Dust® backpack which is great for EDC. If you are interested in a 3 day backpack, check out our Ghost® Backpack.

Amazing pack Review by Sara B / (Posted on 8/8/2023)
I really love this pack and only have one suggestion: instead of having two laptop sleeve/water bladder sleeves make the inside of the middle compartment all hook and loop so we can attach pouches or holsters.

A great bag, color misleading, foam is okay Review by Scoff / (Posted on 5/31/2023)
Good: Function seems good. Nice pocket layout. Feels durable.

Gripes: Lower compression straps arent good for more than securing your water bottle a bit more and tying things to the bottom. The straps should secure farther out on the bag like the upper strap does. Disappointingly, urban grey is more like foliage green. Its a pretty green looking grey and might not pass with uniform regs. The foam used on the back panel is good, the strap foam could be better. Its a bit soft to me. I had pretty specific desires for a balanced bag between duty, everyday, & hiking and this seemed like the best I could find for the job. When comparing the competition in this price range its a decent value.

I definitely like what I have. Review by Johnny O / (Posted on 3/16/2023)
I'm not much for posting reviews and how great things are that I have had pleasure in buying. But one thing is for sure when I see and have something that's worth its value I make it a point for people to know. I spent ridiculous amounts of money on back packs that are quality made. Some how the Dragon Egg MK II has surpassed everything that I have needed in a backpack. It has the pockets on top of pockets and well place too. This is a pack that I will be using for a long time. Hopefully by the end Direct Action will have come out with another pack that will blow my mind. All in all you will not be let down with this pack.

Excellent Review by Douglas A / (Posted on 12/17/2022)
First bought one almost 6 years ago. Not military or first responder. I've carried it with me almost every day and no issues at all. Made a carry strap to hang on headrest of passenger seat. Just a little fading, not that bad. Replaced front pocket zipper pull. It gets a lot of use. I've taken it on some hikes in hit weather and it's way more comfortable than others I've used. Bought two more this year as a Christmas gift for my son and son in law.

The Best and Most Durable Review by Ernie T / (Posted on 8/19/2022)
This pack is amazing! I've had it for almost 7 years as an EDC bag for work and everything else I need. I wear it when commuting on my motorcycle into Philly which has led to it being in and surviving multiple motorcycle accidents. It is so well made and has probably saved me from additional injuries. Most recently it fell off the back of my bike and got sucked up by the tire. It still works but it's time for a new one. Just bought the Dusk pack to give that a try.

Well-made - be aware of its limitations Review by Izaak / (Posted on 8/15/2022)
This pack is better for organization than it is for long hours of use. It would be perfect for a range bag, or an EDC pack for the back seat of your car, but for carrying even moderate loads its limitations show through quickly. In short, even less that twenty pounds over more than five miles and you will be annoyed. Move that marker out to ten miles and you're going to have a sore neck and shoulders. I don't want to disparage a really well made pack - because this thing is awesomely designed and expertly put together - but you need to think of this more like a duffel bag than a daypack. It does not disperse the load well, and will fatigue your shoulders and neck even at lighter loads. The waist strap is pointless other than to stabilize the pack if you're really moving quickly. All of that said, I really love this pack for how well thought-out the organization system is, but do not make the mistake of using this as more than luggage, or you will regret it.

Amazingness at a great price Review by Lawrence C / (Posted on 8/2/2022)
So I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of these for the past 2 years. I’ve used every brand of gear and I’d have to say by far this is the most amazing durable comfortable pack you’ll ever have. The design is awesome. It’s a light weight pack. Direct action really put their heart and effort into this pack. Their gear I’m still yet to test but you can never go wrong with this pack. Their costumer service is the absolute best and shipping is out of this world. The day after ordering they shipped and it arrived 1 or 2 days later. I honest forget how long but it was the quickest shipping I’ve ever had. Please please give this pack a try. It won’t disappoint

Great edc bag! Review by Michael L / (Posted on 7/9/2022)
I purchased this bag in multicam and used it for garrison and in the field. The quality is top notch right up there with all the major brands. I like the fact they used 500d nylon rather than 1000d. It's a perfect balance of durability and weight.

The price I paid for it is about what you'd expect for a tactical backpack with similar size and quality.

If you're looking for a awesome military style edc pack I say give this one a try. You won't regret it.

Exceptional Quality, Unparalleled Value, Lots of Crayons Review by Big Bear / (Posted on 3/13/2022)
Let’s be honest here, how long do you really keep a backpack for? 2 years? 1 year? Using it for school? Camping? Work? Doesn’t matter, Direct Action broke all the rules with a high grade military backpack that can be affordable and versatile.
As a Marine, I can pack as much Crayola Crayons and Paste in there as I want. Really though, going on 3 years with this pack for all of the above, no failures. Zero. Even the Velcro is still in exceptional condition. The quality and value is UNPARALLELED!
Only complaint, I wish I could submit a few photos to show the Egg off.

Built for the outdoors! Review by Caleb W / (Posted on 2/16/2022)
As someone who uses a back for hiking, skiing, and everyday use, the Dragon Egg Mk II works like a champ! I’ve used a lot of bags over the years — Climbing bags, regular backs, drop sacks, etc — and this backpack provides me all that I need. It’s waterproof in the places I need it in, comfortable for an all day adventure, and durable for whatever I need it to do. As a bonus feature, it looks fantastic.

Amazing pack for EDC/Military Review by Jonny W / (Posted on 12/22/2021)
I use this pack for my daily qualities during garrison duty, but wouldn’t hesitate to bring it to combat. Small details such as the YKK Zippers really bring it together. I’ve never seen a backpack described as “ergonomic”, but I’m not certain another adjective fits the level of organization provided by the Dragon Egg. Direct Action is a brand that definitely values quality and it shows.

Great pack for the price Review by Ryan L / (Posted on 12/9/2021)
I have used this pack for a couple of years now in multiple environments. Everything from a college student hauling books, a laptop, and several snacks to being deployed in the middle east as a small grab bag in a MATV. This pack has endured multiple drops, drags, throws, and beatings. While there are better packs for specific tasks I highly recommend this as a smaller go to pack for anything. Very well made and thought out. I wish more people knew of this brand.

Not tacticool, useful and purposeful. Review by Ryan / (Posted on 8/23/2021)
First Thoughts Review:

Just received the Dragon's Egg Mk II. Shipped fast and came in simple packaging (which I appreciate the no frills approach).

The bag seems to be sturdy and has everything in the right place. I was leery about the paracord handle but upon inspection it is not a tiny little paracord wrap. It is a robust wrap with a decent amount of cord. The bag is light weight but doesn't feel cheap like some other bags. The interior pockets are organized well and I like the fact that they didn't over do all the cubbyholes. Just enough to organize what you need to. The thing I like most may seem inconsequential but I love the velcro strap retention loops. I hate the elastic ones and they always wear out and never retain the excess strap. The velcro ones they used on this bag are great and provide a clean look while managing excess strap. Love that. The two side semi elastic pouches open easily and keep my water bottle in place.

If I had a complaint it would be that they could have left the top of the front molle panel open to provide an additional place to stuff something. Aside from that very minor personal opinion kind of thing. The bag has lived up to the description and I am happy with the product.

After some use I'll update but first impression are excellent.

The ribbed type backing built into the backside of the bag allows my back to breath without sweating.

The mesh on the straps and covering the ventilation ribs helps to keep your back dryer than the average Ruck Sack.

There is plenty of pockets and zippers and compartments for carrying miscellaneous small and larger items.

Versatility, rugged and well made, this have is going to last me a lifetime!!!!

I bought a black dragon egg a couple years ago and loved it. Made the mistake of letting my wife borrow it and she loved it (go figure). She kept it and I ordered a Multicam Dragon Egg this time.

Solid construction, good materials, does the job up to about 40-45 lbs. Beyond 40-45 lbs it will not be comfortable, even when thoughtfully loaded. Of note to shooters considering this as a range bag, the laptop pouch will hold a fully-loaded Walsh Custom Defense ammo binder perfectly.

Superb pack Review by Phil C / (Posted on 4/8/2020)
I purchased this pack after careful consideration.. It replaced an older Targus urban pack I had. Quality of this pack is top notch. Stitching is very precise and deliberate with no extra threads. Buckles snap solidly and zippers run smoothly with no hang ups. Pack is roomy and accomodates my laptop, solar power bank and several other things. I did, however, swap out the zipper pulls for something more my liking . I am crafty with paracord so it was a fun project. The ones that come on the Dragon Egg are robust but this way I can personalize my bag to fit me.

Rain or shine Review by Keith M / (Posted on 4/7/2020)
Brilliant product. I say rain or shine as I had one previously. I used it in Singapore as well but more as an all-purpose bag. I stuffed laptops and devices in it. I used it as a travel bag going back and forth from the US to Singapore, a day pack when I would go out walking with my family. So as a "sun" bag, it's incredible. The shoulder straps are amply padded, so they don't cut your shoulders or neck, and I've topped that thing with 22+ kilos of stuff, and outside of being just generally heavy, the bag was amazing. But since I've returned to the US, I gave my original one to my brother.
So, now to rain. The bag was so versatile in its previous role when I decided I needed to have a proper go-bag; this was my first choice. I've been designing my go-bag for the last few weeks, and every essential I have included, including weapons support. I still have room, and the bag is not uncomfortable for long stretches. Makes me feel like I'm back in SFAS.

Takes a beating Review by Jason D / (Posted on 3/10/2020)
I use this pack daily for my motorcycle commute. Rain or shine it has held up nicely. I use the loops on the side as tie-down points to lash the bag to the bike. After three years it has not torn, ripped or freyd anywhere. The only point of negativity is that the laptop compartment will not hold my 15" Asus laptop. The advertisement should specify 14" laptop capacity.

Takes a beating Review by Jason D / (Posted on 3/10/2020)
I use this pack daily for my motorcycle commute. Rain or shine it has held up nicely. I use the loops on the side as tie-down points to lash the bag to the bike. After three years it has not torn, ripped or freyd anywhere. The only point of negativity is that the laptop compartment will not hold my 15" Asus laptop. The advertisement should specify 14" laptop capacity.

Great Purchase - Dragon Egg MkII Backpack Review by Lee M / (Posted on 12/1/2019)
I bought this back pack to be an everyday carrier of all of my work and life tools. After looking for a backpack to meet my individual needs, this backpack meets and surpasses all of them. The materials and overall construction of this back pack is very durable. So far I have used it just for work and traversing urban settings and a couple times hunting. Pack should handle a two or three night pack in pack out hunt. Great pack.

My third one Review by Harrison M / (Posted on 11/12/2019)
I simply love this backpack. I have one for my edc supplies. One for a hunting/camping backpack. I also have one being used as a bug out bag. No complaints on it. Definitely priced a tad on the high side but I see the argument and obviously Iv come back 3 times so I’d say your fine there. Just a fine quality product.

EDC/Get home bag Review by David R / (Posted on 10/19/2019)
Durable pack with multiple carry options. Comfortable shoulder straps. I also own the ghost pack and will sometimes use the attached pouch that has the same compartments as the dragon egg, and I’ll
Attach it to the dragon egg, adding another 3 L I believe , and increasing my organization. Not sure if DA sells this pouch separately but they should.

Great for multiple EDC needs, fits snugly, good admin panel. Review by HSE / (Posted on 9/5/2019)
Great for EDC / 24+ hrs. gear and other essentials. Fits snugly and can be compressed to reduce its profile. The laser molle cut makes it look less tacticool/tactical (especially in black or gray) yet maintains full functionality. The narrow compartment for laptop/water bladder fits a 9.5x14 ballistic panel while also accommodating a concealed carry. Good organization of the admin panel.

Some room for improvement: internal Molle; internal compression straps; thicker wall between the molle panel and the admin compartment;internal holes to route wires from the admin pocket to the shoulder straps (comms radio/ portable battery etc); mixed black/dark gray color option.

Great EDC Pack Review by SharpshooterB / (Posted on 4/24/2019)
I purchased this pack over a year and a half ago and wanted to put it through some good use before writing my review. First I'd like to say the quality and durability is outstanding. This pack is my EDC and I keep my essentials for everyday use in it. There are a couple areas I would like to see improvements in for the next generation of Dragon Egg.
1. Velcro lining or velcro molle on the inside panels would be an awesome addition to allow for additional velcro lined pouched or holsters to be installed.
2. A Zipper cover flap. I know the pack itself has water repellent on it, but I had the unfortunate event of getting caught out in a torrential down pour and water had dripped in through the zipper.

Travel like a pro. Review by Garrett L / (Posted on 4/9/2019)
I bought this bag because I travel a lot and have gone through many major brands (Columbia, The North Face, Swiss, etc, etc) I figured it would take a chance and boy did it pay off. It came in a timely manner and with its compression buckles and tons of pocket organization I was able to take it as a carry-on and it fits perfectly under the seat. Not to mention it's comfortable enough to wear all day with weight in it. If you are on the edge about purchasing one but are shying away from it because of the price I promise you won't regret it.

A good blend of tactical and casual. Review by Cameron B / (Posted on 3/12/2019)
The Dragon Egg Mk2 is a fantastic day pack, worth every dollar spent. I have taken this backpack on several patrols, in addition to everyday civy carry. It fits snugly. In terms of capacity, I have had enough for for 2 days worth of kit. It fits at least one spare change of clothing in addition to various day supplies (rations, extra mags etc). The plethora of pockets makes organizing and separating your kit easy. My favorite pocket is the one directly touching your back - great for a Camelbak. I am worried about the side water-bottle pockets. Though they are snug enough for everyday wear, if you are doing more strenuous activity or moving through thick brush I would recommend tying your water bottle to the backpack.

The only wear and tear I have noticed is that the fabric on the body-side of the shoulder straps is beginning to fray. One other note: though it is water resistant, if you know you working in sustained rain, bag your stuff.

If you plan on storing a ballistic helmet with this bag, I would recommend the next sized bag. A helmet in the Dragon Egg takes up significant space.

Overall, great back pack. I am presently surprised at the quality and functionality Direct Action has in this pack and all their equipment.

Great work Direct Action!

Great diaper bag Review by George / (Posted on 2/2/2019)
While not made for it this bag makes a awesome diaper bag. Im a pretty big guy and a hello kitty/unicorn bag made for a small woman just isint for me, not to mention I could never get them over my 52" chest. After 2 fell apart in a few months even my wife wanted a manly bag that would last. This one does all we need and more it adjust from her small frame to my 250 lb self with ease. Now that we no longer need a diaper bag we have a great backpack for any use. I have a few "max" brand bags and the great thing about this one is it is a much more flexible softer material but still super strong. The build quality is great and the padding does a fine job even loaded up around 30+ lbs.

Great patrol car bag Review by MATTHEW P / (Posted on 1/10/2019)
I’m a cop, and I hang it on the passenger seat of my patrol car. Big pocket works for my jacket, high-vis vest, watch cap, lunch box, all that. The admin pocket holds all my paper nonsense, extra pens, gear and medicine. I really like it. Really well made. Only thing is DA is a Polish company so I sort of wish it was made in Poland. No biggie, though, still high quality materials.

I love the way this pack looks
Nobody has a pack like this
I liked it so much I gave my 1st pack I bought a yest ago a friend. It was still brand new with the tags still on
He loves the pack so much he will not take it off
He also weres it to bed
I bought two more
In the admin compartment add another mess zip pocket above the existing one plenty of room for it
In main compartment maketh mess pocket longer
Also make the padded shoulder straps 4 inches longer
I forgot the little pocket for your phone and sun glasses needs to be 50% bigger
Other wise the pack is perfect
I like to add thing to my packs that are very useful
What and will not add a lot of weight like 2 mil-spec monkey small patch pannel
I got a large for my ghost
The lazer cut molle is outstanding
DIRECT ACTION GEAR ,THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THEY DO IT VERY WELL
I LOVE ALL 3 OF MY DRAGON EGGS MK2 AND MY GHOST MK2

I’m currently carrying this pack around Coeur d’Alene on day hikes. Just got back from Glacier National Park, and I was certainly glad to have such a light weight pack. I’ve got to say, this is the perfect pack. I can tell that it is quality, and will last me for several years to come. Plus, it was definitely the nicest looking pack I saw at the airport a couple days ago, and I saw a lot of different packs there.

I've been using this pack for almost 2 years, and it never disappoints. Its durable and a fantastic bag.

A great pack!! Review by bailey / (Posted on 7/6/2018)
I bought this to replace a High Sierra backpack that I was using as an everyday backpack. While I like the High Sierra backpack, it just wasn't what I was looking for. I did a lot of searching for a backpack that would be durable and suitable for what I was wanting to do. When I got it I was able to put two days worth of clothes, a first aid kit, some extra paracord, some ear buds, two battery chargers, a flash light, a multi-tool, extra bits, a full size knife, an umbrella, and a water bottle. I bought the MKII over a year ago and I still love this back pack just as much as when I first got it a year ago. I enjoy it so much that I am consiering getting a second one for travelling. This pack is worth every cent.

Brutally Honest Review by Cindy C / (Posted on 6/19/2018)
I waited over a year to buy this bag because it was always sold out when I came to purchase but I had my mind set on this bag. I liked the way it looked and its features. I will start by saying that this bag is quality built. It's durable and looks crisp. Upon arrival, the bag was smaller than I expected but is still a good size (I was just expecting something bigger). I quickly utilized the hydration pack compatibility feature. I found that once I inserted a full hydration bag into the center pocket that pocket was near full capacity, which also made it difficult to use the back pocket. There is generally a lot of room for your things but it almost has to be packed strategically which can be a bit annoying when you want quick access. The price is a bit higher compared to other assault packs, which I pay into more for the brand. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and I've received multiple compliments on the bag. I think the inner workings of the bag could use improvement. I'm not here to leave a bad review just critique because I know Direct Action is capable of producing the best assault pack.

The Dragon Egg is a great EDC pack and day hike pack. It has a very good selection internal pockets for organizing your gear with a clean exterior to minimize snagging on your gear or underbrush in the woods. The external water bottle pockets are very useful and can be closed up to avoid snagging. This is has been a welcome edition to my gear collection and a good alternative when my Direct Action Messenger Bag is not appropriate for the activity at hand.

TOP NOTCH! Review by marvin b / (Posted on 3/31/2018)
I recently purchased the Dragon Egg MkII after a thorough research of MANY MANY top notch backpacks, none of which filled my needs. They either had some of the features I was looking for, but NONE had them all except the Direct Action Gear Dragon Egg MkII. Delivery was exceptionally FAST! It was immediately apparent straight from the box that this is a Quality product. I should also mention that I purchased this backpack in spite of two bad reviews I came across in my research process. One review complaint was that it was to small, and that this individual did not like the fact that the zippers are not water resistant via zipper flaps. I immediately disregarded the "to small" complaint as his own oversight, and the zipper issue as my rain fly remedies that! The other negative review complained about the lower buckle placement and side pocket expansion. It appears as though you have remedy both of those "issues" making this an ideal backpack for my needs. TOP NOTCH QUALITY GEAR!!!! Thanks Direct Action Gear,
