Gibson Sport 20L Tactical Backpack,Military Backpack,Small Army Molle Backpack for Trekking

I wanted a small pack for day hikes. This is the third one similar to this one that I ordered. I returned the first two because they were even less suitable for my purpose. When shopping on line for something like this I'd recommend knowing exactly the dimensions and features you want. I like the concept of a sling type pack, but this one really doesn't fit me very well and is uncomfortable. The size and the features are usable, but it doesn't have a pouch for a water bottle. I also don't like the plastic snap hooks and other fasteners. I would have paid more for all metal, preferably brass, hardware. The fabric and stitching are good. I like the Molle straps and the hidden pouch inside the back back panel.

I really want to love this bag. It's about perfect size for my need. The material seems tough. But it's so poorly made. I uploaded 2 pics just for instance, the 1st one shows the gaps between shoulder straps and one molle strap on two sides. This made the backpack very uncomfortable when it's fully packed. The 2nd pic shows how it skewed from up side. There are may other places that are poorly made, only find them after one hiking trip. You can't ask too much for 30 bucks, but at least shoulder straps should be equal length. Not recommend it.

My employer mandates we have an emergency kit in both our office and car. This bag is of the perfect size, durability, and layout for a good shelter in place (SIP) or emergency bugout kit.Suggestions:1. Dump the Velcro. Especially on the smaller outer pocket. You're wasting space that could be used for more MOLLE attachments in favor of posers putting their little wannabe tactical patches on it.2. Place an additional strap guide on the bottom of the bag, and expand the distance between them, to all allow for strapping a woobie and/or poncho to the bottom.3. Place more MOLLE straps on the other side of the zipper. This allows for wider loads (expansion bags) to be attached to the sides of the bag.Still and all, this is perfect for my needs and I will definitely buy from this seller again.***EDIT***After a couple of miles down the road, and a tightly packed bag, it looks like some of the seams aren't as well sewn as I originally thought. It hasn't opened up, and nothing a sewing kit and a few minutes of time couldn't fix, but I shouldn't have had to.I also have to reiterate, the design of this little bag is great but for the airsoft wannabe patch Velcro and needing more MOLLE attachment points. And although the perfect width, I'd consider making it a little taller for us longer torsoed people.

This backpack would be great for EDC or a short day hike. It is on the smaller side but the build quality seemed to be pretty good, solid stitching, working zippers, etc. For how small it is, it has a TON of straps all around the bag which can be useful but are a pain otherwise. Honestly one of my biggest complaints is that all of the zippers (which there are a lot) are metal on metal, so they clank around and make a ton of noise after any type of movement. Besides that this is a nice, little, compact day pack or EDC bag. Definitely a bargain at this price.

Had it now for a few months. I wanted to get a better backpack for my 1st grade boy as the ones with superhero’s are total junk and they barely last the school year. It’s just wide enough for his binders and folders. Perfect size for elementary school boy. When he finally wants a new one because this thing is put together like a tank and probably will never wear out, I’m totally stealing it from him.

Great backpack. Not to big, not to small. Many, many straps. All straps have a roll-and-wrap Velcro tie on the end, so once tgdwtm been adjusted to where you want them, you can roll up the excess strap and wrap it into a tightly sealed roll, so you don't have straps flapping around all over. I love that feature. Molle works with all my other gear just fine.

Very good size and configuration - very good valueUpdate: I’ve been using this as my results day bag for going to work... and find the size and configuration to be “just right”.After I buy another, this will also be used for light day hikes. A very usable bag and an excellent value.

I love this backpack. It feels and seems durable. I have had it over a month now. Is this a "top of the line product", no it is not. However, it is sturdy and durable. I like the arrangements on the pockets because they don't take room away from the inside of the backpack. Only real downside is the inside of the outer pockets have no dividers or "sub-pockets" inside. Internal "main compartment" has mesh netting on top side and bottom side has pocket and hookup (and a passthrough hole) for a water bladder/apparatus. As I stated, I love this backpack. It could be improved by heavier material or more heavy duty zippers, but for the money this is a great deal.
