This backpack is somewhat similar to my Drago. The material is compatible but the features of pockets & straps are somewhat different. The front V strap is a bit cumbersome when trying to get to the one lower pocket, because the strap is looped through the molle & tied to the bottom when you get it. Other than the odd grey color (too light grey for me) it's like any other tactical backpack.

I bought this for a range bag. I love it! It's stylish - My guess is that it was probably designed with a man in mind but I definitely don't find it too masculine. It has a lot of practical pockets and is actually bigger than I thought it would be. It expands, which you can kind of see on the sides in the picture. I'm considering buying another one as a bug out bag. This is a good product at a great value. Since it gets light use, I can't attest to how durable it is but for my purposes it seems like it will definitely hold up for years.

Item just arrived today. Initial impression is it feels heavier duty than I expected for the price point. My plan for this bag is for something to keep in my truck and carry into the office with me, as well as when I go hiking (which isn't a ton) as a preparedness bag. It'll house some basics such as a first aid kit, fire starter, Lifestraw, extra change of clothes etc.

I will post back up once I have some time with the bag to give an update. I give it 4 stars for now as I haven't seen how it holds up yet.

I've only had this bag for about 24 hours, so I may update it later with details about durability, but so far I am thoroughly impressed with it. First, the quality appears to be pretty close to top notch (I have one bag that is higher quality, but cost six times as much). The zippers are large and heavy duty. There are a ton of straps for compressing the bag to keep it compact, most with elastic retainers to keep the excess webbing under control. The shoulder straps are large and well-cushioned. It looks like it will be quite comfortable as a hiking backpack, and all of the compartments open all the way for easy loading and unloading so you aren't digging blind for something that has found it's way to the bottom. I started looking for a "go bag" or "bug-out-bag" to pack with emergency supplies, but I think I am going to use this one more as a "keep it by the front door, stocked with supplies I am likely to need on a typical family outing" bag. It also looks like it will be an excellent carry-on to maximize capacity while fitting neatly under the seat in front of you on the airplane. We've been struggling for a long time to find the right bag for this once we had kids and it became necessary to pack along a plethora of snacks, games, and electronics to keep them (and ourselves) occupied for several hours. At $45, if I decide I want another for a different purpose, it's an easy choice. So far I've stocked it with a change of clothes for the whole family, basic first aid, diapers and wipes for the baby, typical snacks, and a bunch of other little stuff (sunscreen, phone chargers, bottle opener, etc...), and there is still room for more. My only "gripes" are: 1) I kind of wish there were more little pockets and such inside the compartments to organize and store all those little things, and 2) the vertical compression strap (clearly visible in the photos) came run under the MOLLE webbing for both the lower and upper outer compartments, which made accessing the lower compartment difficult. But this was easily solved by moving it to the outside of the webbing on the upper compartment, which allows it to flip down and out of the way when opening the lower compartment. But these are both VERY minor gripes and overall, this is WELL worth the $45 I paid for it.

Arrived on time and as described. This is a nice sturdy backpack. The zippers and stitching are top quality. I was going to spend an additional $40 or $50 on a more expensive bag, but this one looks (and feels) like it can handle the job. Lots of room, not a lot of hide-away zippers and pouches which is fine. I usually add a couple of little zipper pouches for various items. I'd purchase again.
