I needed a tactical/combat level backpack, unfortunately the differences make it not suitable for this task.
Overall it appears to be a good product it just depends on individual needs.
Also this is not the best price for this item or similar items (Which usually includes the hydration bladder). I just needed it quickly & Amazon is reliable for that so I paid a little more for this type of product.
OK lets start with the how it differs from the photo/description & more specific info on some mentioned. Which is not all bad.
.. Removable/hidden padded Internal Frame in a hidden pocket in the Main Compartment behind the laptop pocket.
.. Has an internal padded laptop pocket 9.5x11x1.5 in main compartment.
.. Overall outer dimensions (Including exterior pouches.) 14Wx19Hx7.5D
.. Has 4 covered hydration tube / earbud / wire vents.
.. Has a large external flat hidden pocket between back panel and pack.
.. Main Compartment 10x19x5
.. The mesh pocket 9x5x1 is in main compartment has a single zipper.
.. Top Exterior Compartment 10x7x2.5
.. Inside the Top Exterior Compartment t has 4 elastic loops large enough for pistol mags.
.. Bottom Exterior Compartment 10x11x2.5
.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has a full velcro loop panel backing.
.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment removable velcro stationary organizer with padded cell phone pocket & an additional padded pocket.
.. Inside the Bottom Exterior Compartment has integral key latch/loop.
.. Two Side Exterior Compartments 8x5x2
.. Two Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment.
.. All compartments/pockets have grommet drainage holes except the sides.
.. MOLLE/PAL on bottom of pack too.
.. All straps have cinches.
.. No Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.) but has stow away spot still.
.. No buckle/straps above side pouches.
.. No upper shoulder strap adjustment.
.. No metal pulls on zipper but just para cord.
.. Shoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.
So these are the reasons I do not like the pack.
NSingle Stitching in some critical spots.
NNo Removable Padded Waist Belt but instead a 1 inch wide Attached Flat Waist Belt (Like a car seat belt.)
NNo buckle/straps above side pouches.
NShoulder & waist belt no longer reinforced.
NTwo Side Exterior Open Pockets 8x5x0.1 between Side Exterior Compartments & Main Compartment instead of open bottoms to carry long handle tools (That is what the buckle/straps above the side pouches where for.) like a shovel, ax, etc.
It appears the original design was for tactical/combat purpose but now it became more a hybrid suitable for a Good Day, School, Hiking Pack w/ Removable Internal Frame but not Combat.This is a great pack, large enough to stow enough gear for a short camping trip, this is what I plan on using my pack for, the only down fall I see for this pack is the smaller sized zippers on the smaller pockets, the compact version of this pack has large zippers all the way around.
