Yes, the Falcon does have external pockets on it. The face (or part away from your back) has pretty much the same 2 pockets as the Condor. The main pack is devided into 2 more seperately zippered compartments. Inside, the individual pockets are organized for small items, and seperated for things like pens, and it has small zippered areas to seperate your gear. The pack also has a space for a hydration bladder, in it's own seperate compartment that is closed using velcro. There are tons of pals webbing locations on the pack. On the sides, as well as the face. In addition to compression straps on sides and top as well as area on bottom to attack sleep roll, or similar.
