Mil-TecUnisex Assault Pack - Rugged Durable Lightweight Ergonomic Versatile Tactical Outdoor Camping Hiking Backpack with Adjustable Padded Shoulder Straps & MOLLE Loops, Olive Drab, 36L

I only received this item within the last week so I haven't put it to the test yet. That said, it showed up exactly as described. Like so many other reviews, I can say that the material seems strong and should last a few years of regular use, the sewing is good and the 36L space can fit a lot. The space itself is moderately compartmentalized, leaving plenty of options to organize your stuff. The molle weave is great too. I will be adding a bottle holder to it. Plus, with a few carabiner d-rings added, I can hang or tie almost any item to the outside (multi-tool, hat, sunglasses, gloves, etc...).Walking around the apartment with a full bag, the shoulder straps are comfortable and the waistline buckle helps keep it centered.A few, very minor cons: The interior pockets are a bit thin but useable. The pen holder in the lower front pocket has a few slots that are too narrow to hold anything (not even a paper clip). Not much of a loss though. It would also be nice if a few of the straps had loops to slip the strap-end into. With all of the versatile clips and straps sewn into it, I have strap ends sticking out at all sides. It's a small, cosmetic issue and not really a problem since this will be a bug-out bag.For $38, it's a steal. I'll post an update if any noticeable problems come up.

I am very happy with this bag. I haven't had a 50L bag (or any "tactical" bag) before so I don't know how big a 50L bag was supposed to be. Regardless,this bag has plenty of room for a long day of hiking if you want an extra jacket, food, survival gear, gps, water bladder and a few of your buddy's items. If you would use this bag for outdoor activities or as a B.o.B. I would recommend the 50L over the smaller version because the compression straps can make the bag significantly smaller if you ever desire. You can't make the smaller bag larger. The materials are tough and thick with the exception of the thin fishnet mesh type material that make some of the pockets inside of some compartments. I noticed a small rip in one of the pieces of mesh after my first outing(likely from something I had stored in there) but it doesn't really bother me. Unless you have bulky, sharp or heavy items in the mesh I don't think it will be an issue. I do wish this material was tougher. The vinyl exterior did absorb some water falling from the cave roof on my cave hiking trip but I imagine it could be water-proofed with a water-proofing product. The vinyl did not become ripped or noticeably scraped up when I had close encounters with cave walls or jagged rocks.One of the most difficult decisions when picking this Mil-tec bag was the color option because there are so many types of camo and colors to choose from. My philosophy of use for this wasn't a dedicated bug-out-bag but more of a gear and day hike bag so I wanted something a little subdued and a color that wouldn't scream for attention in a crowd. The color of the OD Green is nice and not at all obnoxious in my opinion. I'd say it is a little darker than the particular picture given and under dim indoor lighting it appears to have a brownish hew to it. Lighting can change the perceived color so it isn't fair to judge it by one picture or scene.The buckles, molle II webbing and straps are very robust and well stitched. All seams appear to be strong and the zippers have not given me any trouble so far. The shoulder straps seemed a little stiff out of the bag but they really did not bother me when I was using it. I do with that this bag had a Y-strap (to attach a jacket externally) and a sternum strap but if you're thrifty those would be easy additions. I got my SOG Seal Pup Elite knife with kydex sheath to attach to some molle II webbing on the side which was nice. The sheath is not designed to attach to molle II but I got it to barely squeeze through.I am glad I chose this over a Maxpedition or something similar that would cost double or more. I believe you get approximately equal quality at a significantly lower price. This Mil-Tec bag says it was made in Germany. If you're wondering about shipping, the particular seller I purchased it from (Camo Outdoor) shipped it from Ireland the next day. It arrived (in WA, USA) a little over 2.5 weeks after I ordered it, and on the first day of the estimated delivery time frame. It would have been nice to have ship tracking offered but it all worked out well.

I wanted a tough, comfortable, and large backpack that would serve as my Bug Out Bag. After looking around from expensive hiking backpacks to school bags, I figured a new military model was the way to go. Those surplus stores have some, but most either smell awful, lack new pocket designs, and don't have as many straps and buckles. I was able to fit everything into this one backpack and was surprised at how roomy and organized it is. I'm not sure what 50L is supposed to look like, but I'm shocked that I fit in everything but the sleeping bag.PROS:- very roomy- organized (main compartment, secondary compartment, large front pocket, small front pocket)- 4 straps to tighten or expand the bag so nothing jumbles loose- durable fabric that is water repellent (but it's porous, so not waterproof)- lots of places to attach gear- straps at the bottom (large enough to hold a rolled up sleeping foam pad)- thick zippers that don't snag- good OD olive green color- carries about 30lbs comfortably- fits everything from my 1st aid kit, to ammo, a 2-man tent, food, tarps, tools, etc (yeah, tons on room!)CONS:- buckles are plastic, but haven't broke or weakened on me yet- shoulder pads are not comfortable for a women (they just don't fit right, so I have to tuck a scarf around my shoulders to make it snug and not slip)- sits a little low of women, so you'll want to tighten the shoulder straps as far at then go and use the waist buckle- would be great with an additional chest trap to keep the shoulders from slipping- shoulders are very thick and stiff! (you'll need to break them in)- no place to attach a sleeping bag, so tie it yourself on top and hope it doesn't bounce around too muchOVERALL:This is a really cool backpack and is quite durable. I'm not sure how long it will last. It's not the most comfortable thing, which concerns me if I have to carry it for more than a few hours. I've remedied with with a thick cotton scarf around my neck/shoulders to ease the slipping of the shoulder straps. This is definitely too big for kids, and a bit awkward for women. I bet I could sew a buckle on somewhere to hold it onto my petite shoulders better. Maybe get fancy and add a gel cushion.
