So, I'm a FedEx driver and I use this as my ED bag. I'm a particularly small-framed fella (5' 7", 115lbs) and very few backpacks are actually comfortable to me. My last backpack was an $80 Oakley bag and this blows it out of the water in comfort, durability, utility... Just about everything The main pocket comfortable fits more than it looks. I usually always keep a 1L water bottle, a 28oz bottle of Powerade, and another empty 28oz Powerade bottle, and when I'm not delivering, I can fit an IPad in there too! The front pocket is super organized and has enough organization and pouches in such a small space... It pleases my OCD so much it makes my eyes roll to the back of my head. Now there are two tiny pockets... One's super soft and perfect for glasses; and the other is small but can fit my wallet, keys, a small bottle of sanitizer, and my true wireless headphones in their case if I arrange it right. Durability: This thing can take a beating. I'm MEAN to my bags, and after a month, I'm impressed. Only a minor fray on the bottom of one strap but it's not getting any worse, and I had WAY more stuff in there than I should have that day. Comfort: It's definately nicer than a sandpaper backing, but definately it's not memory foam with silk cloth. I can wear it all day and be fine. No complaints. More comfortable than it looks though Tl;dr: If you're looking for an EDC concealed bag, this may dissapoint. If you want a good everyday backpack that has everything except a pouch for your polymer-framed mini boomstick (or a full-steel 8 rounder if you're over 50 [Jokes, jokes, I love me a nice 45]) then this is the backpack of your whet dreams Due to the price, you could get a couple to serve different purposes. Hell, I'd even use this for school if I knew about it then. Overall 4.5/5 -0.5 stars for lack of EDC/laptop compartment

This book bag lasted me 3 years. Durable. High grade. Has carried weapons , tools and such. All weather resistant. Comes with a molle system. The zipper finally broke after this long. This bag was so good I have to buy another.

This bag is fantastic value for money, but it always reminds you that it’s “only” a $27 bag. I’ll break it down based on the following: The bag is comfortable enough, when it’s not fully loaded. The shoulder straps are the letdown of the bag. They feel cheap and are about half as thick as they should be for long term wear (hiking, Disney trips, actual military wear). If you’re a business wearing, the bag suffices from car to train/bus and into office in this regard. The interior build and layout also speaks to the “good enough” theme. It is adequate for its size, but the mesh pockets and hydro pouch feel cheap. The zippers appear quality, and I’ve had no issues yet. All of that said, I don’t think you can find a better bag for the money spent. The size is perfect, and the layout of the size is equal in perfection. The addition of the soft pocket on top is a nice touch I haven’t seen in many other “tactical” bags. If you want a value office runner, a tactical dad diaper bag, or a limited use Vacation bag, this bag is the perfect mix of perfect layout, value for money and psychically appearance. The company says it has a lifetime warranty, and maybe I’ll run it long enough to see what that covers.

The SAMURAI TACTICAL backpack stands out for its impeccable build quality and meticulous attention to detail, offering users a reliable option for their carrying needs. However, despite its strengths, the backpack falls short in key areas that may limit its versatility and appeal to certain users. One of the most commendable aspects of the SAMURAI TACTICAL backpack is its exceptional build quality. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, this backpack exudes a sense of reliability that is immediately noticeable upon inspection. From the robust stitching to the reinforced straps and handles, every aspect of the backpack speaks to its superior construction. Moreover, the attention to detail showcased in the design of the SAMURAI TACTICAL backpack is truly commendable. Thoughtful features such as multiple compartments, MOLLE webbing for customization, and sturdy zippers demonstrate a commitment to functionality and user convenience. However, despite its commendable qualities, the SAMURAI TACTICAL backpack has notable limitations that may deter certain users. Foremost among these is the absence of a dedicated laptop sleeve. In today's digital age, many individuals rely on their laptops for work or leisure, making a secure and padded compartment a must-have feature for modern backpacks. Additionally, the backpack's size may prove insufficient for users with varied carrying needs. While it may suffice for basic day-to-day use, some users may find it too small to accommodate gym essentials along with work-related items. A slight increase in size would greatly enhance its versatility and practicality for a wider range of users. Furthermore, the lack of a back belt to attach the backpack to carry-on luggage limits its suitability for travel. Incorporating this feature would make the backpack a more convenient option for frequent flyers and travelers seeking seamless mobility. In conclusion, the SAMURAI TACTICAL backpack impresses with its superior build quality and attention to detail. However, its lack of a laptop sleeve, limited size, and absence of a back belt for attachment to carry-on luggage detract from its overall functionality and appeal. While it excels in certain areas, addressing these shortcomings would elevate the backpack to new heights of versatility and practicality, making it a top choice for a wider range of users.

I bought this bag about a year ago. In that time I've used it as an EDC bag and a travel bag. I chose this bag for a few reasons. I wanted a tactical bag because they have the PALs webbing, giving you a lot of options for adding expansion pouches or hooking things to the outside of the bag. Also, tactical style bags are typically very durable. 24L seemed a good size for a daily carry with some extra space. It also has a bunch of spots for velcro patches. I've collected a bunch of patches over the years so I swap them out periodically. Then there is the price. It was cheap. I had seen it and saved it when it was $33 or $34. Then it popped up again at a reduced price so getting it for $30 with tax. I figured, if the bag sucks then I'm only losing $30. It has a lot of compartments for organization, which I liked. It has a 24L carry capacity making it a good sized bag for day to day use because it's not too big. It works great as an overnight bag because its big enough to pack a change of clothes, shoes and some hygiene stuff. You can even fit a second day's worth of clothing... Depending on the season. Colder weather requires thicker clothes. EDC: I take it with me to work daily. It has enough room to carry all my stuff. I always bring a 32 oz tumbler that I put in the drink pouch. I have an insulated lunch bag that I put in the bag. There's plenty of room for me to put my hoodie in the bag too. It's got more than enough room for an EDC bag. It can fit a 15" laptop but it's gonna be a tight fit. I wouldn't suggest putting a laptop in it on a regular basis. The bottom of the bag does not have any padding so you would have to be very concious about how and where you place your bag if you have a laptop in it. Travel: this bag has been pretty good as a travel bag. I used it as a personal bag when flying out of the country. I used it as a carry on and a day bag for excursion when I went on a cruise. I needed extra space so I was able to attach my old Army butt bag to the bottom of it, giving me more storage on one bag rather have to carry an extra, separate bag. During one trip we got stuck outside in a rain storm. It rained on us for at least an hour and the bag did well to repel most of the water. The contents inside the bag stayed dry. There was some dampness on the inside of the bag material after all that rain. Had we been out in the rain longer with that amount of precipitation my stuff would have gotten wet I mentioned a bunch of "Pros" about the bag but it does have a few minor drawbacks. Considering the fact that it's a 24L bag it can hold a good amount of stuff but the space inside feels a bit cramped. The bag, overall, feels bulky considering the size and carry capacity. If you want an EDC bag with a small profile this may be a bit on the bulky side for you. It didn't fit that easily under the seat in an airplane. Someone mentioned the shoulder straps being a bit uncomfortable and sliding off. They were right. It doesn't sit that well on your shoulders. It's ok if you only carry it from your vehicle and walking to the building you work in. If you're going for a hike you'll definitely want to use the chest clip to keep from having to constantly adjust. Some padding on the bottom of the bag would be nice. I don't carry electronics like a laptop or camera equipment anymore so it's not deal breaker for me but padding would help sometimes. The pull tabs on the zipper could be bigger. The zippers themselves seemed like they might fail. After a year of use it's been fine but I expect issues in the future. By then I will definitely have gotten my $30 worth out of the bag. The drawbacks are few and minimal. Especially for the price and durability of this bag. Totally worth the $30 something dollars

Awesome. I have had 4 years. I was tough on it. It finally gave out. Im getting another one. I haven't found anything that suits my needs.

Rain resistant - The inside stays dry in at least 10 minutes of heavy rain. Tough exterior - The bag and zippers hold up well if caught on obstacles when walking. Comfortable - The shoulder straps are wide and distribute weight evenly on my shoulders. Large compartment - Fits a 14" laptop in a leather case, a 16oz monster in can cooler, 20oz gatorade in can cooler, two 16.9oz water bottles, rain jacket and several protein bars, with room to spare. If a bottle leaks there are two studded drain holes on the bottom. There are also large mesh zippered pockets inside that easily hold earbuds, chargers and cables. Small compartment - Fits two cell phones, 2AA flashlight, Leatherman, 3" pocket knife, wallet, keys, pens etc. Also with smaller pockets, also with room to spare. Top pocket (under handle strap) - Perftect size for sunglasses or prescription glasses. Made of soft microfiber keeps them unscratched and undamaged. Side pocket - Meant for 1 liter bottle but I use for quick access to my safety glasses. My only complaint is some of the pocket stitching in the small compartment unraveled very soon after purchase, so some smaller items can get shuffled around. Easy enough to fix myself though.

Had the original, which was significantly larger, but all the weak stitching and cheap zipper caused it to fall apart. This one is smaller but built better( better zippers, nicer pockets, stronger stitching). It has a strange shoulder strap design and sits uncomfortably low from the shoulders. If this thing was a little bigger, and sat higher, it would be perfect.
