absolutely awesome
I purchased this bag awhile ago and I can say I was not disappointed. It's held up through all the tough hikes and trips I've put it through.

This review is for a contest but I have owned this bag for several years now. Even though this bag has had a few issues they are minor and I love this bag overall. I do wish this had the attachment points for the old Alice frames but really it's a minor issue. The only other thing I had an issue with is a strap broke on the main pocket closure but I should be able to repair that myself and it's still able to close. That's really my only negatives. The positives is this bag is spacious. I've put all of my body armor and rain gear in here with room to spare. This bag has gone on many trips as my only bag and I've never had issues with it holding up for a week as my only bag. Could probably stretch it out longer to a two week trip depending on where I was going. I have other bags for a short 3 day trip but this is my go to bag for between that and 2 weeks.
So this bag has become my go to as a Soldier. Duty, field exercise, or just daily from truck to building. All compartments are roomy and the over bag is comfortable, easy to adjust, and breezy... NO normal BACK SWEAT! Shoulder Straps are sturdy and no worry of tearing. The Velcro on your main straps is awesome and keep you from having to tape and retape for different gear Only downside to the bag is the chest buckle can not be removed.
This is a great bag. Main compartment holds a lot of things. Did not disappoint me. The two side pockets are very large as well and have molle webbing to add pouches. There is also molle webbing on the top flap and around the middle of the pack. You can slide items down in between the three back pockets. Each of these pockets holds a decent amount of things as well but at about half the size of the side pockets and no molle webbing. You can put a hydration bladder in the compartment directly in between the main compartment and the part your back is at. Sits comfortably on the back during long hikes. Holds up well as my camping/travel bag.
I got this bag for my husband for Christmas, it came in when it said it would and its awesome! It's very large, has enough space in it for everything he needs. Also it's a great but for the price, when I showed my friend what I got my husband she thought it was going to be rediculously expensive! Definitely a great buy :)
