3V Gear Velox II Large Tactical Assault Backpack

First of all, I am a gear junkie. I love buying stuff like this to use in my various setups.THIS IS A GREAT BUDGET TACTICAL BACKPACK!! This is a copy of a Maxpedition Falcon II backpack, and overall it gets about an 8.0/10 when compared to genuine Maxpedition. Why a 5-star rating, then, and not a 4-star, you ask? Because the price is only 40% of what you would pay for the Maxped. The high value to cost ratio rates it a 5-star rating from me, and I would recommend this pack to anyone without hesitation.All seams are double sewn throughout, with very few stray threads. The carry handle uses box reinforced stitching for extra strength. Zippers are large and satisfactory, and while not YKK brand, they should be serviceable for this pack. Zipper pulls are commercial nylon cordage, not paracord. The zippers are not sewn inverted as in some other bags, so there is no protection from water or dust entering the zipper.Organization is exactly as laid out in the Maxpedition original. Which is to say, I think it strikes the right balance between too much and nothing at all. The main compartment clamshells open all the way, for easy access to your primary gear, whether clothing, a laptop, or whatever. Other compartments and pockets have ample storage for all your EDC items. Cinch straps on the sides secure the pack nice and slim when not loaded to full capacity.I do not intend to ever utilize the front Y-strap or the waist belt, so I removed both those items. Removal was easy, and they are easily reattached, should I wish to do so in the future. When I did a test fit of the waist belt, it seemed to ride too high on my body, which contributed to my decision to remove the belt. Shoulder straps have ample padding, and include webbing and plastic D-rings for attachment of small gear. The sternum strap does not ride too high, and has a bit of elastic for easy adjustment.My one complaint about the bag is the stitching of the PALS webbing, or MOLLE. The PALS webbing rows are properly spaced at 1-inch intervals, but the stitching to separate the columns is very slightly uneven on the front. On the sides, the story is even worse. The side PALS webbing is stitched so there are three columns of webbing, where there is only room for two. That means you in effect only have one usable column of PALS webbing on each side of the bag, as the other two columns are too narrow to fit any attachments. However, this one minor design flaw does not detract from the overall quality of the bag enough for me to remove a star from the rating.Overall, the quality of this bag approaches that of bags which cost twice or three times the price of the 3V Gear Velox II. I can and will recommend this backpack without hesitation, especially to anyone looking for a high quality tactical backpack at a budget price.

Purchased this item about 2 years ago. Used about 2x a week just to carry a few books and an ipad for work. The item is comfortable to wear and has alot of room to hold your stuff. The zippers however are not the best quality. My zipper broke in a few months on the topPocket. 3V does have a “lifetime” warranty and they offered to fix my bag or replace it. But this is my only work bag. You do need to pay shipping to return your item and wait for them to decide to fix your item or send you a new one so i will be without a bag for a long period of time. Not really worth it. Just go with a higher quality bag to avoid these problems.!

Just got this bag. I like it. I don't LOVE it, though. I'll just do the ole' pro's and con's. Ya' know... that old chestnut.Pro's: Looks pretty sweet Holds a LOT of stuff Fits my laptop Fits my pentest gear Fits my network tools Fits some snacks Very even weight distribution across shoulders and back Feels pretty durable. I do some parkour, so I'm curious to see how this holds up with some gear in my bag.Con's: Smells like China. Like really bad. Gasoline and rubber aroma will stick to you and the gear in the bag. I have other China products and the smell never really fully goes away. Not enough pockets. The open space in here is fine and all, but I need some organization in my life. Laptop sleeve is really tight on my 15" Straps, straps, straps. More straps. Maybe some of these are necessary? Maybe some straps on the inside would be better served to keep gear in place. The top front pocket will just kinda floop down unless it's packed to the gills.Update - The shoulder straps are now separating from the bag 4/27/18. I'll have to resew them. Not built for the long haul.Further Update - Found out they have a lifetime warranty but you still pay for the shipping. But... sending it in the smallest box I could possibly fit it in still cost me just about as much as the bag. Decided to just toss it and cut my losses. Sewing this was not an option.

I've had this bag for about a year now. I use it as a laptop and gear bag for IT work and it sees daily use during the weekday. I would consider the bag to of seen fairly light duty compared to some "tactical assault" usage. The pockets and layout are great, I pulled off most of the straps and the few that remain keep the contents from shifting and the bag thinner.After a few weeks of use the internal pockets started falling apart, the bottom blew out with minimal use and the fabric over the edge came undone. After a year of light loads (Thin laptop and some cables 99% of the time) the straps are detaching from the top of the bag. The fabric appears to of held up, the stitching has notFor $55 its not super bad but there are more durable bags to be had. For anyone that wants one for serious use I can't imagine the bag lasting long with hard use. Some higher quality stitching during manufacturing would make this a great bag.

Dopo sole 3 settimane di uso portando notebook, ebook reader e poco altro, senza arrivare a neanche 7 chili di peso, uno degli spallacci a iniziato a scucirsi! in più la garanzia vale solo negli USA: pessimo

Absolute waste of money. The worst of my life.This is cheap garbage from China, but with "brand" = crappy and absolute overpriced.After a few months of transferring the laptop from the car and into the car and into the store (the only use of this TACTICAL ASSAULT PACK!), the main strap has broken, and the lumbar strap too.I have tried to file a complaint twice (in English and German) and twice I have been told "translate, we answer" and nothing! The seller is a cheater, avoid the arc, and if you like the backpack, buy it elsewhere for a tenth of the price.

Mi esposo quería esta mochila de regalo de cumpleaños. Está feliz, dice que cumple todas sus expectativas. Sin embargo, el envío fue tardado, no llegó en el plazo previsto y no pude dársela el día correcto. Del resto, todo en orden!

Seit ca.4 Monaten im Einsatz als Schultasche. Bisher keine Mängel verstellbar!
