Amazing quality pack,
I purchased this for use as my main BOB (Bug out bag), I currently have a couple other backpacks of similar price and this one just blows the others out of the water. The material quality feels sturdy and the stitching seems extremely well done, I did a pretty thorough search on the pack and did not see any loose or fraying ends. The MOLLE works exactly as you would expect and I can’t think of anything else to add on it except that there is a great amount(Both front pockets, both sides, shoulder strap and bottom. The shoulder straps them self are extremely comfortable with thick padding. The hip belt is thinner though without padding (About the same thickness as the MOLLE webbing although a wider overall strap).
The hydration pouch padding is comfortable and thick enough to protect the bladder(which as mentioned in a previous review is large enough for a 3L bladder), this pocket which is about 15 inches by 11 inches was also large enough to hold my laptop (15 inch screen) and the charger fit well in the top pocket.
Both pockets in front are about 2 inches deep, the top one (About 8 inches by 5) doesn’t have any divider pockets while the bottom pocket (roughly 8 inches by 9 1/2)has a smaller admin pocket in it big enough to hold a cd case or note pad (I currently have a shirt pocket size Rite in the Rain Notebook in there w/ room to spare). In front of that admin slot there are multiple smaller pockets the left most one perfect for a nice size multitool and the others for a sharpie, pens or pencils)
The second compartment in front of the Main compartment is a bit deeper than the front pockets and about 16 inches by 9 inches and the zipper for this pocket run about half way down the bag. This pocket also has a small admin pocket similar to the one I described in the last pocket however on the outside of it rather than having the pen/multitool size pockets it has 2 mesh pockets (each one is exactly have the width of the pocket they are on top of and run the entire length of that pocket).
The main pocket is roughly 4 and a half inches deep and 19 inches by 12. This compartment can unzip all the way to the bottom of the pack so you can really organize well in here. One side has a zipper pocket that goes almost all the way across and the other has a Mesh pocket that goes all the way across.
The bottom also has some nice compression straps to hold sleep system or tent. There are also 4 other compression straps on the pack bringing the total to 6 so you can really get your gear strapped tight for minimal movement.
The estimated delivery time was nearly a month and a half from the date I ordered it since it is shipping from out of the country however I received it in 8 days and it was I received an email that it had shipped the same day I ordered it. There are a few things that I would of changed although they are more me nitpicking than complaints, the first being the zippers, they are paracord instead of an actual zipper which I would prefer however they seem extremely sturdy still and actually are a little easier to operate then a smaller metal zipper. Another thing is that the bottom of the pack is the same material as the rest rather than a more water resistant material (the inside is PVC coated so shouldn’t be an issue). and lastly I would of liked some sort of padding on the hip belt but again the current one is serviceable and the pack is comfortable and light.Overall this is a beautifully put together pack that rivals or beats many packs of a much higher price. I am sorry for the extremely long write up but I wanted to include the information that I wanted to know before I purchased. If you are on the fence, I say go for it. I love it and plan on buying another for my fiance.

|wonderful backpack,
This backpack surprised me when I got it. For what I paid I was expecting something that was very cheaply made. I expected corners to be cut everywhere and all I needed was a backpack really so I didn’t care. However this was NOT what I got. I got top of the line quality, EVERYTHING is double stitched and durable. There is more room than you would think inside this pack. Let me accurately portray this for you.
I fit the following into this backpack.
-1 pair of jeans
-1 pair dress pants
-2 pairs of shorts
-4 boxer briefs
-2 pairs dress socks
-2 pairs white socks
-phone charger
-Dell Inspiron 11z laptop in a soft case with charger
-ASUS Transformer in a soft case with charger
-power strip
-Browning HP 40SW
-2 extra magazines for Browning
-1 box of ammo (50 rounds 40SW)
-1 toiletries bag with the following
-2 toothbrushes
-Toothpaste
-mouth wash
-floss
-body wash
-hair products
And there was still room for more.
In all this pack is wonderful and I can see it lasting a very long time.

|Excellent,
Sturdy, combat-quality MOLLE backpack.German made,(enough said there,)top quality item. Tight double-stitching, with everything you’d expect from a MOLLE pack. Just for drill, I was able to stuff 8 full sized MRE’s in the main compartment and put my 3 liter hydration bladder in the Velcro pocket in the front of the bag. Delivery takes time, in my case about 3 weeks, since it was sent from Ireland by AuPost (from the Gallic word meaning “Check Sean and see if he’s breathing”) but worth the wait. The only problem I encountered was one of the zipper enclosures that held the draw string wasn’t fully closed, but a pair of pliers fixed that. Considering what you get for the price, that was inconsequential.
I plan to buy another one in Camel for my girlfriend.
Bring on the Zombies and Liberals, but that is redundant.
