    EDC backpack for folding stocked 11.5" barreled AR

    What sort of backpacks are available that can fit an 11.5" barreled AR with a folding stock? I'm looking for something pretty simple that is easy to carry and looks like nothing special.
    It is 23" folded.
    Thanks

    I really like the Osprey brand of packs, and they don't look like a military/tactical style pack. They are a little more $ than some other brands, but very high quality, and worth the money for sure.

    I have the Osprey Talon 22 day pack, which should easily fit an 11.5" with folder. I've put my 7.5" 300 BLK with SBA3 brace (no folder) in there with plenty of room. Osprey makes another model called the Manta 34 that is great if you want a little more pack space.

    How long is your 11.5" folded?

    Go one eBay and look for some of the older Camelbak hydration packs. I have one that was designed for winter, and it's a bit longer. It holds my 11.5" BCM with the LAW folder.

    Vertyx Gamut Plus should work. It can be had in a few different colors.

    I've recently started using a Vertx Gamut Checkpoint with my 10.5" folder...but it's pretty tight. If you decide to go Vertx, you'd probably need to go with a Gamut Plus/Overland.

    thanks for the info. I actually just bought a used one of these on eBay, I really hope that it fits. If it doesn't, I will be looking at the other options posted here and see what I can figure out.

    Like SeriousStudent said, I like the hiking brand/Camelback stuff as it doesn’t scream ‘tactical’ or out of place in my area (outside the Smokies).

    What about something like this? I really like Arcteryx stuff.
