Tru-Spec's Stealth XL Backpack
Tru-Spec is known for making clothing, but the company also makes other gear such as backpacks. One of the company’s newest products is the Stealth XL backpack.
One of the popular trends in the bag and pack markets has been the development of concealment bags that do not look “tactical.” In other words, less PALS webbing and MultiCam while still trying to provide a durable pack that can keep all of your gear close at hand. For a “get home bag” or “bug out bag,” this could be an important feature.
In the most basic terms, the Stealth XL is a larger version of Tru-Spec’s existing Stealth backpack. According to the company, the new pack has a storage capacity of 39 liters, an increase of capacity by 40%.
Additional features of the Stealth XL:
- made with 1050D nylon
- back panel uses a padded air mesh material for improved airflow
- shoulder straps also use the same padded air mesh
- concealed handgun storage compartment
- padded bottom panel for main storage compartment
- the top front storage compartment is fleece lined
- side zippered pocket with a wire pass through for your phone, iPod, etc.
- padded sleeve for a tablet
- reinforced carry handle on the top of the bag
The Stealth XL bags come in two colors: black and light grey. Both have a suggested retail price of $139.95.

I've always had hit and miss quality on true-spec gear. I've had a few of their vests and BDU's from when I played air-soft some would be fine for rough play and some would fall apart after a single game.
it wasn't like there was any consistency either ordered two vests same color, same model, same retailer at the same time and one is still around here somewhere while the other died after a few games, same with pants it was like they had no QC or if they did they just waved as the defective gear was shipped out.
If I have to depend on gear then I generally chose a more consistent quality of equipment.
So basically, a "stealth" backpack is just a normal backpack as opposed to a tactical one. So why would I want this 140USD normal backpack over a normal backpack from a regular shop for half or a third of the price?
