I have the Max Falcon. It is tough. I doubt that you can do much damage to it. I am a Red Cross Volunteer and have been using the Falcon as my "A" bag. I do not usually wear it constantly, but stash it in our vehicle or where ever I happen to be.

I have also used it as a hiking daypack.

It is not a good hiking backpack. It has no frame and its shape is narrow and it extends quite a bit from my back. If I put a heavy load in the "rear most" compartments, it is off balance. For real backpacking I prefer a "thinner, wider" pack, one that keeps the load higher and closer to my back.

That said, I find it suits my needs well. The multiple pockets means that I can easily get something out without exposing the entire contents of my pack to the elements or "quick fingered bystanders". The very thing which makes it a bad hiking backpack, the thin width, makes it a good pack when moving thru brush or other tightplaces.

It is difficult to get things out of the pack without taking it off, which usually means setting it down somplace. If I am going to be walking and working, I prefer a vest or bat-belt.

If it meets your needs, the workmanship and materials are very good and I am happy with mine.
