Level III Lv3 Molle Assault Pack Backpack--TAN

This is a great backpack, the design is very smart and it has all kinds of pockets to keep everything organized. This backpack can carry more than what it seems and I think it is ideal for a one day hike but it has certain flaws I hope they get corrected in a future version.

The problems I have found are related to the shoulder straps and the waist support belt. The length of the shoulder straps' padding is so short that they barely go over your shoulders and provide no protection near your chest. As a result the horizontal strap that connects both shoulder straps will end up near your throat. This is really a deal breaker. Regardless of the type of backpack, good padding and good support design is fundamental to make something usable and practical.

The second problem is the waist support belt. The idea of it is to offload some of the weight off your shoulders and transfer it over to your waist. That is not the case. This backpack's waist support belt is just a regular webbing strap that will keep the backpack close to your back but won't offload anything off your shoulders. Certainly the offloading feature was left out of the equation.

I have used this backpack for 12 to 16 miles one-day hikes/runs and I certainly feel the difference with other types of backpacks from the same vendor that certainly have better cushioning design such as the Condor Medium MOLLE Assault Pack. As an additional note and if you don't know, Condor produces 3 types of backpacks: Condor Small MOLLE 1 day Assault Pack, Condor Medium MOLLE Assault Pack and the MOLLE 3 Day Military Assault Backpack (basically the small, medium and 3 day).

After using them all, I would only use this little but practical backpack for 1 or ½ day easy hikes. The Condor Medium MOLLE Assault Pack, while it doesn't have all the pockets and gadgets of the little one, is a better option for more serious or strenuous hikes because it just has a better support design. The 3-day one is just for that: trekking.

This pack is great, no doubt, but I ordered it in tan, and it arrived labeled as tan, but OD green, so the image is somewhat misleading. Pack works perfectly, lightweight and versatile!

Buy Level III Lv3 Molle Assault Pack Backpack--TAN Now

I bought the Level III Molle Assault Pack about a week ago intending to use it as a shooting range backpack and as a thrown-'n'-go pack for travel. This backpack looks "tacticool", and the fabric is high quality, but I am returning the pack here's why:

-The zippers are weak; One of the zippers "splits" when it should be staying zipped. This is with no tension on either side of the zipper seam. With weight in the pack, the zipper immediately splits open on the main compartment when the bag is shouldered.

-The pack strap pads are comfortable and the pads sit on the right part of my shoulder to make a difference, but the straps themselves feel thin, and the seams on the straps aren't stitched on well. I wouldn't trust this bag with more than a laptop and a textbook's worth of weight, especially in the pouches farther from your back.

-The strap buckles and rings are all plastic, and they are cheap plastic. Again, I wouldn't trust this bag with a significant amount of weight.

If this bag had sturdier shoulder straps, consistently reliable zippers, and beefier plastic or metal strap fittings, it'd be a steal at this price... but for this price, with the problems my copy has, it's not even a keeper. I'd keep it if the zipper issue wasn't such a pronounced issue. 2 Stars.

Awesome pockets and attachment points. Bought it for the long walk at work to / from the parking lot.

Good for hunting; straps designed to hold pack still and silent if crawling through brush and woods, etc.

Would have rated 5 stars, but like the other people, got Olive Drab (OD) instead of tan.

Many positive comments from the people I work with and requests for where I got it.

sturdy, rugged and plenty of storage. I'm using mine for work, carrying a large laptop plus charger and about three other cables for connecting to various devices; as well as carrying my lunch and a few other random items. Works great.
