Condor Urban GO BAG

I'm in in the Marine Corps, have had this bag for a little over a month, and it has proven to be well worth the money. I use the bag daily and it comfortably fits all my gear for the day (books/papers, pt gear, lunch, etc). The side zip pouch for your laptop is awesome because it provides a little more structure/rigidity to the bag while you are wearing it. I also took it for a weekend trip and it fit all my clothes, toiletries, and computer. If I had any criticism it would be that I wish the zippers were of a better quality. The zippers are fine, but you can tell that they are not the kind you get on the $200+ Blackhawk and Camelback bags. Having said that, for the money you can't go wrong with this bag.

This bag has durable stitching but some of the padding material that pushes up against your back has a pretty weak weave that just seems to rip very easily. It's nice and soft but don't drag this thing on a trail or prop it up against a tree.

It doesn't have any kind of internal frame, and the shoulder straps mount to the very top of the bag. Higher than the top of the bag, really. This makes the weight sit very low, meaning you have to lean pretty far forward with a heavy load to put your center of gravity over your feet.

The waist belt is pretty nice, the adjustable web belt part is pretty thin, but wide and the combination of the padded waist strap and belt does a pretty good job of comfortably seating the weight on my hips.

The chest strap is very nice also, it rides on a 3 bar slider on 1 inch webbing on the face of the shoulder strap, so it stays where you put it and is beefy enough to help raise the load up slightly higher as well.

Aside from not being able to adjust the ride height, the other change I would make to this bag would be to put more PALS attachments up high on the sides. The side PALS only start about a third of the way down the bag (there are attachment points higher up on the front of the main flap, but if I add another pouch or 2 in that location that puts the load further out from my center of gravity). That being said, I was able to use the top handle on each side (there are 3 handles at the top of the pack) to mount a couple old sustainment pouches.

Day to day this is a nice bag, but not for serious hiking. On a side note, I'm pretty sure "Daryl" uses this bag in "The Walking Dead" and you trivia folks can correct me if I'm wrong.

I purchased this pack based upon what I could find out about it with reviews and other information. It's construction is solid. There's one place where the stitching on the molle loops is coming loose, but I used a lighter to burn off the tags and it seems okay now. I've put about 30 pounds of gear, clothing, shelter and survival stuff and hiked with it for a total of about six miles. It seems to ride pretty well, except for a pinching sensation in my right shoulder which I attribute to the carry handle being attached to the shoulder straps. I have wide shoulders so, it takes some getting used to.

Other than that it will hold a 100 oz. water bladder and has lots of pockets for small stuff. I've attached two canteen pouches to the lower sides and an EMT pouch to the back. There's a pouch for my lensatic compass, one for my ammunition and a pouch for my multitool. Clothing, rations and small stuff go inside.

I purchased this bag for school and work and this is by far my favorite i've used so far. I've purchased other bags like the Maxpedition Falcon-II and Vulture-II, and while the material of the Condor bag is not quite as thick or rugged "feeling", It is still VERY well built. There are a handful of pockets and in all the right places, not too many so that space is being wasted and not enough so that you're just carrying around a sack with crap thrown in it. In the two side pockets I can fit a large coffee mug and still have some space. I know the description says it will only fit up to a 15" laptop in the side pouch specifically for one, but I was able to squeeze my behemoth 15.6" Lenovo W520 workstation and still zip up fairly easy. The molle webbing is pretty consistent which is always nice and the shoulder straps are quite comfy. One interesting thing I don't find anywhere is the extra side handles in addition to the one on the very top. I also find that unlike most bags, this one will actually stand up straight on its own where there is stuff in it.

I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a bag with alot of space. I prefer this bag over my maxpedition bags I have currently.

I really like this pack! This pack has plenty of storage for me to keep all my gear in it. It is also very comfortable to wear; you do notice the top handle at first, but it does get better. I normally keep 30lbs to 40lbs of gear in it at all times and have not had any problems with it yet. I haven't got caught in the rain yet, so I am not sure how water resistant it is. This was a great buy; I only wish the price was lower for the multicam version of this pack, but the multicam does look really good!
