When I was looking at backpacks that could be an EDC pack, could be used for off-body carry, but would be tough and comfortable to carry fully loaded for a long hike, I came across this Switchblade pack and thought I would check it out. It is a great pack, and I liked a lot of things about the pack. Ultimately though, it wasn't the EDC pack I was hoping it would be. It is one of the most comfortable pack I have used and is great for hiking, but it lacks some features that I would like to have for a daily use pack. I also struggled with the CCW pocket. I feel this is a great EDC pack for someone looking to carry larger items, or perhaps specific items that the pack was built for, but it isn't a pack for the average dad looking for a pack to EDC his stuff for work and his toddlers stuff to the park.

Factor 85 Labs is about sharing the things I enjoy, in a practical way that works for dads and families. Everyday is an experiment, and I am sharing what I am learning about practical ways to balance my interests and hobbies with the everchanging life of a dad with small kids. DIY, EDC, cooking, reviews, first aid, whatever the day brings, I figure out what I think is a practical approach, and share that with you.
