This is an awesome backpack! I originally bought this because I need a decent size backpack that I could carry some groceries in when I am riding my motorcycle. I wanted just a cheap, one compartment bag, but couldn't find any. I've been wanting one like this for hiking and such, for a while. So when I found this one, I was hoping it would work for both purposes, since I couldn't beat the price. Its very sturdy and has lots of places to add molle attachments. It also has extra straps on the sides and back to attach other things, such as a bed roll, etc. It has a chest strap as well as a waist strap, to keep it securely attached to you which is great for weight balance. It has plenty of room to carry things, as well as a padded compartment for a laptop. I am super happy with my purchase!

Love this bag so much I bought two. The only issue that I have is that some of the straps do not have the ends sewn over so they stay in the clips when extended fully. Frustrated to have to have to feed the straps back in after taking off the pack. I am lucky to have someone handy with needle and thread.

I carry about 50 lbs in the pack and handles the weight well. Sturdy construction, would probably handle 20-30# more with no issues.

Great Day Pack!!!
Pros:
Multiple Pouches make organizing easy.
Strap system allows for a sleek look.
Large enough to carry everything you need for a Day trip.
Small enough to take to class
Cons:
Build quality is good but I personally am fairly rough on my gear and I can't see it holding up for more than a couple years.
The zippers are of especially questionable quality and are currently my biggest concern.

Overall:
AMAZING FOR THE PRICE!!!
- If your looking for just a simple day pack to carry all your stuff to class or into the office like me but also take it on the occasional hiking trip this will be just the pack your looking for.
If your looking for a pack that is going to last you years into the future and you can hand down to your kids then your gonna need to up your price range considerably.
That being said at this price buy yourself 6 of these puppies and just use them up and grab the next one.

I was a little dubious about this pack given its low price. But I could not be more pleased with it. So far I have only used it for daily commutes to work but in it I carry a pretty hefty load. The construction quality is certainly not top of the line but it is superb relative to the price and I believe this will stand up well to daily use as a commuter bag and/or occasional day hikes. I do not know its cubic capacity, but it easily holds as much as the largest day packs I have previously owned (plus the MOLLE system allows you to easily expand capacity if needed). Upon the first day of using this pack it was clear to me that it distributed the load better than my previous (more expensive) packs making it very comfortable to carry (and I was not even using the included chest and belly straps) Only time will tell if I am right about the build quality (I will update if it fails prematurely) but then again I can buy multiples of these for the same price as a single top end pack. The only feature I was really missing from my previous pack was a water bottle holder on the side. But since this pack has the MOLLE system I quickly rectified that with a nice bottle holder attachment (that included an additional small pouch compartment as a bonus) for under 10 bucks. I'll be leaving a good review for that Go Time Gear bottle holder separately as it is a nice item in its own right and good companion to this pack.

My son is rough on backpacks and he usually chooses one of the trendy, not so cheap name brands. I end up buying several every school year. I finally decided to buy him a brand I am familiar with as a Veteran. It was delivered within 2 days with Amazon Prime, actually was delivered on a Sunday. I could tell immediately when we packed everything in this bag, he's in high school so he has quite a few heavy books, a laptop, etc., that he was impressed also. It is spacious, rugged, and sturdy! I think we've finally found something he can't rip the seem out of!
