Rushfaster EDC Backpack System (+ Tech Pouch)

I'm not usually one to take up contra deals like this, but I was actually after a pouch like this to organise all my laptop accessories and SSDs when transiting to productions. What i found though, was a better use. Rather than having all my wireless audio units, cables and lav mics floating around in a deep pocket, they could all literally fit inside this pouch. I can fit my 2 x Sennheiser G4S + 2 x Rode Wireless Go IIs, all cables, spare batteries, lavs, Stickies, and much more inside one pouch and slip it into the top of my bag. I honestly wish I had gotten this earlier.

I would have loved a carry handle there somewhere, or at least a wrist-loop option. That way I could attach it to another bag or pass it to another person without fear of it slipping out of my hands. The shell's material is beautiful and sleek; however, it can be a tad slippery. It does look like water would bead off it, should it accidentally have liquid spilt on it. That's a major plus.

The three elastic loops are great for cable organisation. However; they are quite tight, so the cables i put in there are probably a little too large for their intended use (phone chargers) etc.

Overall, this is an awesome product (not just because it was free) and i actually wish i'd asked for two so I could have one for all my other equipment.

I love this EDC Backpack for its functionality and it's simple low profile appearance. I was not sure about having my large water bottle put inside the bag, but it doesn't take up any space as feared - it makes the Backpack look nicer without the external sleeve. Highly recommended.

Love this backpack, I travel fifo and tis has been super handy for my travels

I’m really happy with this backpack. It looks very cool, and the colour actually looks even better in person than it does in the photos.

One of my favourite features is the internal water bottle pocket. I really like being able to keep my bottle inside the bag rather than having it hanging off the side. There’s also more than enough room for both my iPad and MacBook, and I especially like the small dedicated compartment where I can keep things like my cards and earphones organised and easy to reach.

Overall, it’s a stylish and well-designed EDC backpack that works perfectly for my everyday needs.

This tech pouch really felt so good for my videography needs. It fits an incredible amount whilst keeping the same size and shape. I was surprised at how much it could fit given I even had my 96W Apple Macbook Pro charger head and it still looked exactly the same. The pouch features some rigid components making it feel sturdy to protect any sensitive gear, whilst the materials feel very premium.

I never used a tech pouch before — I used to just throw cables into my bag and deal with the mess later. This has honestly been one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. No tangled cords, no digging around at the bottom of my bag. Everything has its place and it actually stays organised. Compact, well made, and just practical.
Didn’t think I needed it — now I wouldn’t travel without it.

perfect sized pouch that easily accommodates my various cables and chargers. Very happy with my purchase.

Backpack is perfect for what I needed as a everyday bag. It has a lot of compartments and I was quite surprise how much i could fit in the backpack.

I got the tech pouch as part of the combo and all I’ve mentioned about the EDC backpack stands true here too. It suits my needs, the spaces are thought out well and I really like the colour, especially when the light hits it.

If done plenty of research on this bag before taking the plunge. From the moment I took it out of its shipping packaging I was impressed, the videos I’d watched spoke of the quality of the materials…from the right amount of squishiness in the straps to the quality material used on the inner lining. I got the green colour and love it. I know, this is just positives and no negatives, the reason for that is because I’d done my research and weighed this backpack up against some heavy hitters, and it ticked all the boxes for my EDC.

Honestly, this pouch just does the job really well. It’s compact but still fits all my cables, chargers, and bits without feeling cramped. Feels solid, looks clean, and makes my bag way less messy. I’ve been using it daily and wouldn’t change a thing.

This tech pouch is the one perfect house for all my cables, old phones & small peripherals. It has an origami styled opening on one side, & 2 divided pockets on the other with space within to rest my 2 older phones. The interior fabric is a very classy dark green which suits the outer black shell. Unfortunately, my universal travel adapter wouldn't fit due to its boxy shape & size, so do keep in mind if you've got tech items with a larger footprint. Other than that, it's perfect for organizing the rest of my stuff.

Looked at lots of options in Tech Pouches, and just kept coming back to this one. I'm glad I did, as it suits my needs perfectly

A great little Tech Pouch for your day to day carry. Organisational is top notch, materials excellent and all of my bits had a space to be stored. Some real thought has gone into this bag and it just works. Well done Rushfaster!

Great product

Pros:
- No mesh backing, thankfully. Backpack mesh has ruined some of my clothes in the past, due it being abrasive against the clothing fabric and creating pilling. I initially looked at the EDC Pro version, but it had mesh, so no thanks.

- Most of the interior lining is a light colour which makes it much easier to see your items in low light. This is a thoughtful design choice that shows experience on the designer's part, and it baffles me when established brands overlook this.

- The EDC Backpack has an interior water bottle pocket which is handy for keeping the bottle in place and containing any incidental condensation. I found the pocket large enough for easy in-and-out use with a typical 600ml PET bottle. I'm glad it doesn't have an external bottle holder, which I wouldn't use anyway. I got this backpack mainly for work, not to look like a tourist.

- The backpack's main fabric both on the interior and exterior seems strong and durable.

Cons:
- The zips are small and don't feel robust. The metal zips have a cheap-feeling flexible tag attached to assist with zipping, but the tag feels thin and unsatisfying in the hand when opening and closing a pocket, especially when combined with the tiny zips.
I often find it awkward to zip the pockets with one hand due to the small size of both the zip and the zip channel. I frequently need to hold the bag just right with my other hand, in order to get the zip teeth to line up straight enough to close.
This was annoying when travelling, as I needed to frequently access my passport and other items. One might argue that it makes your bag more secure, but there are other ways to do this without it being a daily frustration.

- The backpack has a fabric handle at the top for carrying. This is just one strip of fabric with no foam interior or thickness to provide a confident (and comfortable) grip. The handle becomes more uncomfortable to use when the bag gets heavier, such as when carying a laptop. It makes the bag feel cheap.

Other caveats:
- This backpack really needs another pocket for small items. I find the main interior is definitely large enough, but there's many small items that I have to try and cram in the other available pockets.

- When the main compartment is fully unzipped, the front lining just flops right back with no real structure. Since the front contains an inner pocket, if the zipper of that pocket happens to be open, then items are liable to fall right out when the front fabric flops over.

- No fleece lining in any pockets, despite having two tablet/laptop pockets. It was never advertised as such, but it is disappointing not to see any refinements like this, especially for the cost.

Overall this bag seems more like a generic department store backpack. If it were a quarter of the price, I'd say it was great. But the cons I've pointed out make it feel like they were cutting a lot of corners, which I don't find appropriate for the price. 3 out of 5 stars.

Love it, just what I needed for trips away, room for half a dozen charging cables, headphones, skiing batteries and chargers, etc etc etc.

Good tech pouch, good organisational setup. Not for bulky items and needs external carry handle as the material can be a little slippery.

Great size pouch, with the right amount of organisation. Spots for hard drives, power banks, cables, dongles, mouse & earbuds, all with easy access

This is a great tech pouch. everything works like it should. On the one hand the pockets are nice and generic, so you can generally fit your stuff nicely. On the other hadn theres a lot of generic symmetric sizes, so your stuff may not be snug. Theres no natural airpods spot for example, so mine are alongside a small charging brick - which messes with my head more than it should ;-) But overall a nice bit of gear!

Save my bacon all the time. I have it packed and ready to go when I travel. All the essentials in one place so it’s one less thing to think about when I am packing.

Needed a replacement for my work pack and this fits the bill mostly.
Wish it had more pockets to put things and a place for a pen.
Guess Rushfaster blonde this as they have just released the pro version.

Such a great quality backpack. I can’t believe I virtual-window shopped this long. The design is sleek, minimal and is well-designed to haul my EDC.

good little bag/organiser for storage of computer cables and other small items .. thank you for the bonus to my other purchases
