R.SASR Military Tactical Backpack 45L Large Tactical Backpack for Men, Hiking Rucksack With Bottle Holder

For the money, you cannot go wrong with this pack. Let's go over some of the finer points. First off, it is one of the few MOLLE back packs that can fit and comfortably carry a 17" laptop. It fits, with room to spare. Not the greatest padding for the laptop compartment but then again this was not exclusively advertised as a laptop bag. There is some padding that would help in case of a drop, not from the roof of a building mind you but if the pack slips off your shoulder when you stagger into work half awake and go to set it down. Yeah, I have done that and from my should to the thud on the floor, all was still well when I fired my laptop up. Would not be hard to add a padded sleeve for those time you are planning to run a marathon or are in the habit of tossing your pack off a building loaded with your laptop. The other compartments are decent and afford plenty of space to store ALL of my EDC items and pouches I use on a daily basis and a few just in case items such a mini first aid kit and a spare change of socks and underwear. Zippers..... I have not had ANY trouble with the hardware on the pack even though I was skeptical when I first received it as the zippers felt less than robust as I am used to heavy duty YKK on more expensive packs. They have yet to let me down and I use this pack EVERY day of the week solid for the last two months since buying this pack. I am in and out of it often and have yet to have a failure, snag or issue with them. The stitching on the pack isn't epic, it is about what a person would expect for an off brand pack. There are some hanging threads here and there but no glaring stitching issues to speak of. I simply took a little time and trimmed the threads that I was worried about, which by the way, weren't many, maybe 12 or so that needed trimming. I have had no busted seams or failures to report as of yet. I had read another review complaining about the pack not being water proof, if you read the description, it says it is water resistant not waterproof. Most of my high end waterproof packs have a roll top with buckles as waterproof zippers are very expensive. I have been caught in the rain with this pack and can say it was NOT wet on the inside. The way the zippers are mounted helps cover the teeth so water does not pour directly into the pack if rained on. I am sure with enough time, water will seep into the pack if exposed long enough. I figure if I was going to be heading out in the rain with the pack, I would be smart enough to have a simple cover (which I do as they are only about $10 here on Amazon) or maybe have an umbrella or poncho handy to cover it since I keep expensive electronics in it. The MOLLE is great, not awesome but great. I say that because one row of the 3 on the side of the pack are not quite the full mil-spec width so I had to use different attachment straps than I normally use. So far, it has not been an issue. I have two tool organizer pouches mounted using Vanquest pouches and two utility pouches, one that came with the pack (which is useful) and one off brand that holds the items I need just nicely. Overall, I would recommend this pack to anyone wanting a decent, affordable MOLLE pack that gives the user options as to mounting pouches and other hardware to the exterior. I was NOT paid or compensated for my review as I purchased and use this pack on a daily basis. Update - 11/1/2023 - I just wanted to give a long overdue update on the pack. I am still using it daily, yes, it has some wear and tear but no threads have pulled out. I did reinforce the shoulder strap attachments with Dyneema thread I purchased off of CountyComm's but that was more for piece of mind. I still carry a 17" laptop in the bag along with a host of tools and electronics I use on a pretty much daily basis. This past spring, I sprayed the outside with some off the shelf water proofing agent and it has helped keep shred the water better on rainy days. For $35 this backpack is an ABSOLUTE steal of a deal for the capacity and molle options. Will update if anything changes. Update 5/2/2024 - I have had this pack for roughly 3 1/2 years now. I use it EVERY DAY. When I say I use it, I mean my chubby little meat claws are rummaging around inside grabbing tools and electronics that I use for my occupation. This pack has held up WAAAAAY better than I had ever hoped or expected. It is STILL going strong albeit the straps are really starting to show their age as the padding is all but shot. BUT the rest of the pack has endured everything I have thrown at it on a daily basis and has never let me down. ALL of the zippers are working well and function just like they did when I purchased the pack so hats off to the steely eyed missile man who designed them. I may look into either replacing the straps or retiring this guy and buying another one since they are actually a little cheaper than when I bough this one. I am SOOOOOO glad I didn't waste my money on some top of the line name brand pack as I have rather enjoyed spending the money they would have put in their pockets with what I saved over the years owning this one thus far. Yep, I have spent some serious caps on packs over the years and was really let down by some of those "name" brands so I speak from experience when I say this little guy is a hidden gem amongst packs of similar size and capacity. Hope this helps.

Great pack. I've been using it for a bit now and it goes with me to work and back and to school on the weekends. It has plenty or carrying capacity. I keep a laptop, school book and binder along with extra shirts in the main compartments. The smaller compartments are perfect for pens, pencils, meds or any other small items you want to carry daily. I'm rough on my gear and this is holding up pretty well so far and I feel it was a good value for the money spent.

Great inexpensive backpack. I purchased five of these and gave them as bug-out-bag gifts... filled them with gear and they made great gifts. These bags are good quality, durable, used mine for more than a year as general gear bag in my pickup truck - no complaints. I carried mine as both an every day carry (EDC) for road gear (living in Alaska) and as a general camping pack to hold camping specific gear (coffer maker, MSR stove, first aid, etc.)... no complaints and good size for general purpose. This is not a pack for multi-day hikes. You'll want something with better fit / adjustments, better frame, and better weight-carrying belt (more money)... but this is a GREAT general purpose pack for short walks with gear (truck to camp site) and general on-the-road (grab & go) pack. And, as I started with, I think it is a solid bug-out-pack.

Good quality holds quite a bit of stuff. Very comfortable and adjustable!

For such a small pack it packs a lot of stuff. I like the Molly bags that I added to the pack. There are many pockets within the pack. I'm using this one for my metal detecting gear. My metal detector is in one area of the pack and I have numerous tools both inside and outside of the pack. I would have liked it to have a water bottle carrier, but I can make it work. The pack has numerous straps I have approximately 50 pounds of gear but it feels comfortable. I will be able to tell more when I get it into the field and how easy it will be to get my gear out and packed back up. Material seems good zippers are good. For the price you can't beat it. I'll be buying another one for using at the gym. Comes with one Molly bag and I had two more to add to it. Also comes with several patches you can add on to the pack.

Got this for a friend of mine to use. It works great, and has been pretty durable. Mine came with a little Swedish flag patch, which looks cool too. It's strong, holds a lot, and works well for usage in the woods. Feels good when wearing it too.

It's a nice backpack, it's well made and very affordable. In the future I will buy again.

Great quality, comes with a large assortment of connectors and clips. Comes with velcro light reflective badges, perfect for camping. Comfortable to wear with thick shoulder pads. Waist buckle. Quality buckles. You won't regret this purchase.

Perfect! As expected
