Mardingtop Tactical Molle Backpack for Men- 18L/28L EDC Hiking & Motorcycle Backpack

Comfortable, love the chest strap, easy to adjust, plenty of storage space, very durable. Good price.

Look, I didn’t plan on falling down a muddy hill, tearing through brambles, and getting chased by an angry turkey—but here we are. And you know what held up better than my dignity? The Mardingtop Tactical Molle Backpack.This beast of a bag is like the Chuck Norris of backpacks—tough, unbothered, and oddly comforting. It’s got more straps and loops than a dominatrix’s wardrobe, and every single one of them is somehow useful. I don’t know what half the Molle webbing is for, but I used it anyway. Strapped on a knife, a water bottle, a pouch of jerky, and at one point, my buddy’s lost glove. Felt like a walking hardware store with emotional damage—and it was glorious.Capacity? Let me put it this way: I packed gear, snacks, ammo, a first-aid kit, a tarp, and two cans of beans—and I still had room to carry home the shame of missing a clean shot at 40 yards.Now, is it perfect? No. The zippers are solid, but if you overstuff this thing like a Thanksgiving turkey, they’ll protest like a rusty gate. And don’t expect waterproofing unless you count “hope” as a sealant.But for the price? You’re getting a rugged, no-nonsense, hunt-ready backpack that looks like it’s seen some stuff—and probably has. If it ever develops consciousness, it’ll have war flashbacks and a smoker’s cough.Bottom line: If you want a backpack that can handle the wild, the woods, and your bad decisions, the Mardingtop Tactical Molle Backpack is your grungy, gear-hauling spirit animal.Rating: 5/5 — would get chased by a turkey again.

Now that I've had it for long enough I feel qualified to rate it. I use it at least a couple of times a day when I walk my dog and several times a week when shopping on my bike so my main concern is durability.Most of the time I don't need this much capacity because I'm just carrying dog toys, treats, and other things related to our walk. Roxy is a handful and I need both hands at all times. On shopping trips, i have loaded the compartments to full capacity as well as strapping larger items on the outside. At times I have carried at least 35 lbs. and it was perfectly comfortable. The waist band is fairly wide for a pack of this size and distributes the weight well to prevent shoulder fatigue.I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend this pack to anyone looking for a daily use pack as well as something for longer hikes where reliable equipment is mandatory. This was a really great value for the money.

This backpack - if usage earns even moderately -decent ratings on toughness - seems almost ideal. It's a good purchase already, given it's price point ... It'll be phenomenal if it doesn't fail apart/fail in the.next 6 months of use/abuse.I was looking for a new, non-expensive, well-rated pack to use while riding on-/off-tarmac on my R1200GS. My requirements included being hydration bladder compatible (my 3L fits, no sweat), fitting my 6'2" frame (surprisingly well!), sweet-spot size (not too big or too small) with actually-usable capacity (several effective partitions/compartments), able to carry my tools/water/etc. when I choose to not use my tailbag/panniers, decent zippers (time will tell but they're great initially), Molle attachment points (mounting my IFAK, if needed), and compression straps (to skinny it up/cinch it down when lightly loaded & keep things from shifting around independent of its load). And dual-use (for me) to ride with whatever gear/satellite comms I want on my person and to use for hiking once I get to my camping spots/trailheads.The left *or* right shoulder pass-through channels for the hydration tube is a new-to-me/effective design. Pleased to "discover" the smaller zippered compartments: one for pens/toothbrush/batteries/ibuprofen/tripod in an easy to access spot & the other on the bottom (likely for wet swimsuit, sweaty tshirt?). Unique compression straps that could be used to strap longer items (trekking poles, fishing rod) vertically and bottom straps (sleeping bag/ranger roll) low/laterally.I love the stow-away compartment for the hip belt when it isn't needed! ("First World Problem" solved but nice.) I liked that this bag has pouches on both sides of the bag. (Never quite understood many packs only having one/potentially feeling imbalanced.) Zippered, too, is a plus. i have to see if they can fit a 32 oz Nalgene bottle (like one reviewer said works); not a requirement for me (water bladder), but it'd be a nice option if I want to leave the bladder behind. I should be able to fit my tall MSR fuel bottles, though (camp stove fuel/extra go-juice for my trusty steed). In either case - Nalgene or fuel bottles - if they don't quite fit, it'll be easy to cinch them in/peaking out the top & still be confident they won't fall out.I was slightly disappointed by the weird crackling sounds the bag made when I first un-boxed (-bagged, actually). I was sure it was due to tissue paper, but it was from the questionably-durable internal nylon(?) lining/partitioning material. I hope that quiets down &, more importantly, lasts longer than I currently fear it might.I'll start putting the pack through the torture it's been sentenced to (daily motorcycle commute despite being 20degF today & trail riding this weekend ... eat/sleep/ride/repeat, etc.) & will update my review with how it holds up to the abuse.
