Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Edit: Since my first review I have much expanded this review. This pack is absolute trash, stay clear of it. I have no idea what the people who give this thing 5 stars are thinking, maybe they just have anything else to compare to but if you have ever owned a decent pack you will quickly realize this ones massive short comings. *******original review********* 50L I'm wondering if that includes the measurements on the side pouches. This was deceptively small. I can barely fit a single set of ACU's in this with a set of Pt's Its seriously smaller than you would think it is. Walmart sells a better bag that in hindsight I should have bought. Its neat that there are modular parts but the manufacturer didn't put much though into securement of all the additional strapping that goes with it. Really a bit of a disappointment in the product. I give it 3 stars instead of 2 because the quality seems decent and while I haven't drug it through the sand yet it seems like it will stand up. I say again, this pack is deceptively small. ********Update: 1 star*********** After a few weekends of use this pack is garbage, even at $40 its not worth the money. Its very apparent that whoever designed this did not have much load bearing or design experience. 1) The side pouches aren't actually molle, what they attach to is but on the pouch itself is just velcro, So there is no inter cross weave between attachment and bag possible. 2) The adjustments on the shoulder straps are not anchored. They are instead a peice of webbing that then loops through and also acts as the upper securement. Meaning if you want to tightly strap something to the top you have to have your shoulder pads as tight as they go. This also means that you cannot adjust your shoulder straps without having it clipped across the zipper. So no having a buddy get into your back while its on. 3) Because the shoulder tightening strap is not fixed and doubles as a top strap the thread is backwards. Meaning you have to pull up to tighten it. Meaning extremely difficult to no ability to adjust the shoulder tension while wearing the pack. 4) Zipper missfeeds, a lot 5) The snaps for the "molle" system wear out after a few snaps. I've worn mine to drill twice and they already don't hold at all. 6) The size of the detachable back pouch is a joke. Its barely the size of my hand. (you can see in the images) 7) So many zippers, loops and straps with no purpose. I swear they added clips, zips and straps just so the thing looks cool. Several of them are completely un needed. 8) The side straps are barely large enough to fit my hand in. There's no way you could strap a decent sleep pad to it. Maybe a narrow tripod but not much else. 9) The straps come undone... all... the time. They didn't take the time to sew in a catch loop so all the straps are constantly sliding out and your gear is dumping on the ground. It's a complete shit show. 10) Stitches on the webbing are coming out after 2 uses. Forget what I said about seeming like its decent quality. 11) The waist strapping has no securement other than sticking it in a pocket. Any leg will know you cant have your straps flapping around in the wind, too much to get it snagged on. No integrated securement for the waist pack strap. 12) The waist pouch is not real Molle either, its uses faux metal squares to weave your securement to, it does not hold as well unless the snaps are tight, which mine were not. I've been in service 8 years, Backpacked months at a time in a variety of countries, and environments. I'm telling you, even at this price point this pack is not good. There are much better out there for a similar price.
