Military Tactical Backpack, Hydration Back Pack, 3 Day Assault Pack, Camping Rucksack with ISO Standard, 42L

This seems like a killer buy... I think I got it when it was on sale for like 15 or 20 bucks for a new work backpack... Nothing fancy, just something to haul stuff around in to and from the car a few times per day... Just got this and checked it out tonight.... And honestly, it's too good to use as a work bag! I was shocked.... I thought I'd get a cheap bag to last a year or so, but this feels and seems like it will last much longer. It is now going to be my weekend get away bag (or overnight bag as the side straps can be tightened for a smaller profile bag). many pockets with good locations for each. Very "strappy"... See image... Cool look in my opinion. Straps could maybe use a tiny bit more cushion if I had to complain about something I guess? My favorite feature so far has to be the secret access pocket where it rests on your back (see pic). Very cool space for documents (passport, money, etc) without being intrusive. There's some very slight fraying here and there, the stitching and zippers are 99% perfect (one small stitch was undone at the end of one of the zippers... No ill effects on said zipper, works just fine but I'll keep an eye on it) so all in all, a great deal. If I would have seen this at an army surplus store, I would have probably paid $40 or so for this bag if I was in the market for one again. Will certainly purchase again.

Really great bag. Bought it for a go bag. Plenty of room so far for a change of clothes for 2 people, first aid kit, food for 3 days (backpacking food), backpacking stove, backpacking cookware, couple water bottles, water purification system, etc etc... Just the right amount of pockets, not so many you can't remember where things are, but enough to keep organized. We really like that it's sturdy and big, but it doesn't shout military or bug out bag. If we take the patch off it could pass for a school bag if someone doesn't look too closely. Straps are comfortable and adjustable. Still working on putting everything together slowly over time, so far we're really happy with this bag. As we build up our supplies we will most likely purchase another one of these. ******Update****** This bag is awesome. We have been slowly building up our bag over time and tonight I went through everything and reorganized. We're just at the stage where we'll need another bag so I'm ordering another one of these this week. This bag holds a TON of stuff, zippers are strong and fabric is tough.

This pack is unbelievable. I couldn't be more impressed. I own several 5.11 packs, and for $150, you can get a 5.11 that almost equals this one. Got it on flash sale for $15 and it kills all of my other packs. It expands and collapses to what ever size you want, not bulky, not cheap, has a huge bladder compartment, molle attachments fit perfect. Wish I had two more for my brothers. One zipper on the inside compartment got cross zipped, but it corrected itself easily. All other zippers are heavy duty, tough and smooth. I don't know what else to say but buy it.

It's an awesome bag and the flag patch that comes on it looks great. There are a few cons with this bag but I was able to purchase as a deal of the day for around $15 so I can't really complain... But for future purchasers sake.. Cons- Straps are not fastened correctly and will fly out of the hooks under any type of pressure. While I was traveling from Boston I almost injured a lady when my shoulder strap came unhinged walking through the airport. My bag swung around and hit her with some force, luckily it hit her on her backside and she didn't face plant. Also, the zippers (main pocket) go under the sides of the bag. The bag opens up a ton BC of this which is convenient at times and other times it's insanely frustrating when you're zipping it up (it wants to keep unzipping). Overall this is a solid bag and it does seem very durable. There is a ton of storage and comparents too, great design. My Camelbak is still alive after 10 years of rugged use, if i can get 5 years out of this with moderate/gentle use I will be greatly satisfied.

So I should start by saying that I have spent years perfecting a bugout bag and designing one for each of my kids, one for my wife, and one for me. Finding alite weight, long lasting, medically and physiologically necessary and tactically practical products has been challenging, however, nothing is hard than finding a good bag. Look no more. This one is it. I'm so impressed with this one, I'm buying 8 more (some for friends) and getting rid of the others I have. Most bags rely on having a crapton of pockets and molle attachment points with extra bags hooked on, blah blah blah. They are like someone said, "Meh, I got tired of thinking...just slap another pouch on the side if your unhappy...zzzzzzzzzzz" Most are also a weird shape or poke INTO the bag, reducing the size of what you can actually carry inside the more important cargo areas. This bag has no intrusive pockets, each of the smaller, tertiary pockets, project out. The interior storage areas are well thought out and do not squeeze out the space of subsequent areas. While this bag may actually be smaller than a 5 day pack, I have found the logic of the lay to be such, I can carry more than my larger bags. BUT HERE IS MY MOST FAVORITE PART!---The water bladder compartment has an access point all it's own, in the back, so you do not have to dig out your gear and re-pack it just to get to your water. The layout also adds another layer of protection for the bladder for other things in your pack which can puncture it. Pack whatever you want, if you do not have water, you are done. I have my 3 litre bladder in there, but I'm sure it could take a 5 litre (I'll test and update). If you are a smart bunny and pack everything in your bag in waterproof containers or dry bags (as you should), you can stop at a water source, like a running river, and open up the zipper, allow water to flow into your bladder (especially if you have a top-fill like a Wacool) and take off in less than 40 seconds of down time! I've done this. from un-slinging, filling a totally empty 3 litre, to re-slinging and buckling, it took 36.2 seconds! Don't forget to sanitize the water before drinking! However, this quick fill option can be especially important if you have to stay on the move or are trying to avoid a violent situation. This pack is also casual enough in it's look, you could come in and out of urban areas to restock without causing too much attention too yourself. I have enough water, food and medical to survive for 5 days (3 weeks if I have access to water). I carry water purifiers, powder and filters, cook supplies, food, medical which includes wound & foot, medicinal & prophylactic care, communications, defense, location, fire kit, shelter and sleep and the means to establish a base camp if needed (although staying mobile is, usually, tactically more advantageous). oh yeah...the zippers are good too!

This bag has quite a bit of room in it. the design is pretty good and it comes with a removable chest and waist strap. Looks cool in multicam black and for the price, you cant beat it. The shoulder straps are good but they are not padded, man up. I give this bag five stars because of the quality of the exterior, the compartment size, and the price. some criticism i have for it is that the interior is very plain and there is a strong lack of internal organization, what it does have seems kinda cheap. All in all i don't see this bag breaking down on me with moderate use over a period of 5-6 years. Buy it.

bueno

This is the second 42L tac bag that I have bought, this one seems to be a bit lower quality than the other one I have. Some of the cinch straps have fallen off under basically no tension. Other than that it seems to be ok. I use this bag as a 72hr deployment bag at work as we are usually on call for hurricane call-outs, it holds plenty of uniform changes and it's easy to keep organized.
