I am not going to lie... I always a bit skeptical when I buy things without having hands on the product, but once I received the bag..... it is great! The material, the zippers, durability of the pouches and the velcro on the inside pouches are amazing. For those of you vets out there, this bag will be similar to the gear we are accustomed to a gave hell to it. It is built to last. Lightweight and comfortable to wear as a backpack. I will be coming back for another one and will recommend these to people.
