I'm looking for a new EDC backpack as my 5 year old North Face is wearing out. It needs to have the following features: laptop sleeve, water bottle pouch, non-tactical looking, compartment for handgun (either purpose made or one that a holster can be clipped into), organizer for pens and other office type stuff. Top of the list is the 5.11 COVRT18, but would like other opinions. Thanks.

I'm going to pick something up from these guys. The only problem is deciding on which one.

511 has some good stuff, black doesn't look too tactical but this one looks "normal "
Meets all your criteria, like you stated.Last edited by dls; 02-15-2014, 5:09 PM.The chair is against the wall...

Also from Grey Ghost:
It's a little less "elite tactical operator" looking, but it does lack a pounch for a water bottle.
If you are willing to ease on the "no tactical" look requirement then I would go with a 5.11 MOAB 10. No bottle pouch or dedicated laptop sleeve, however, if you don't want to use the hydration pocket for a bladder, you could use it as a laptop compartment. You can also remedy the bottle issue by purchasing a nalgene bottle pouch and attaching it to the integrated MOLLE.
I'm personally thinking about getting a MOAB 6 as I don't have a lot of carry around items, but definitely would like something for CCW in the summer months when its harder to wear concealable clothing. I would also have to purchase a bottle pouch."Far and away the best prize life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt

The GF just bought me a Condor Compact Assault Pack, but I'm thinking its too "tactical" looking. However, it does have the features you are looking for. Affordable stuff too. Have a buddy who carried one of their packs for 15 months in Afghanistan with no issues.
Maybe something like this Outrider pack will work. Good luck!
