Mil-TecMOLLE Tactical Assault Backpack

Perfect bag for work, enough room for the bits I need without being too big or heavy

At first when I received I though the outer coating definitely wouldn't hold up, but I was definitely wrong, I don't exactly treat this back like a valuable item so if it was going to wear it would've by now. For the price I wouldn't be buying any other back (built for athletes as example)

I bought this backpack wanting to get something with molle webbing so I could attach a bottle bag and an extra pouch on the sides, and I wanted something not too large for everyday carry and this one seemed to fit my requirements.I was pleasantly surprised upon reciept of the item as it appears to be well made and upon first expection appears to fit my criteria. I can not comment on the longevity of the bag as haven't used it for any period of time so my review is only based on first impressions. All the stitching appears to be good, the zips appear fine and quite tough. The size of the bag is exactly what I was looking for and looks great!. It's very similar in looks and size to the Maxpedition Falcon 2 bag which this seems to be a bit of a copy of (which is a good thing!). I managed to fit a 15.5 inch laptop in the main compartment but it is a bit of a tight fit and I have to advise others who are thinking of using this to carry a laptop that although I managed to fit a 15.5 inch laptop inside the laptop I have is of a slim design with a narrow bevel around the screen- so some makes of laptop with 15.5 inch screens may not quite fit- and you have to remember that there isn't the sort of padding you'd probably want for a laptop inside. It's possible to get some thin sheets of foam and put those inside to add a little more protection but there wouldn't be much if any space around the laptop edges to protect it from the sides. If it's of any help to other people thinking of purchasing this bag to fit a laptop inside my laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 15.5 inch and it just about goes in the main compartment.I fitted a cheap bottle bag and pouch via the molle webbing and the items fitted the bag without a problem and are a secure fit- so the space between the molle webbing appears to be correct. I've walked a few miles with the bag and it was comfortable.I think it's a great bag for someone wanting something on the lines of a Maxpedition Falcon 2 but doesn't want to spend that kind of money. Yeah it's not going to be as tough as a Maxpedition but to be honest for most everyday uses it appears to look like it will be up to the job!. It's worth adding that I have actually got a genuine Maxpedition Sabercat bag (which they don't make anymore) and a genuine Maxpedition bottle bag and pouch and to be honest although the difference in build and quality/ toughness between the Maxpedition items and this bag is evident it's not something that I'm dissapointed with considering the price difference- not yet anyway as time will only tell.As it stands I'd feel confident that this bag should be fine with a bit of rough treatment and using it for camping, hiking, fishing, as a bug out bag etc etc, and certainly looks up to the job of being used as an everyday bag to take to work etc.From first impressions I'd definitely recommend this bag as it might just be good enough to save you spending a lot more money on something else that might not be required if your demands of the materials aren't too high. For those people that like to have a few different bug out bags for different scenario's, or you want a bag for fishing etc that might get dirty and smelly and also want something similar for work or as an everyday carry then this could well be a very good option as you could buy a few of these for the price of some more expensive bags.

I used this bag since 2012 and it has not let me down, it was a daily used piece of kit for me at work. It was my "go bag" which would contain all my essential bits of kit which I would need whilst out of the office on patrol. The only downside I would mention is having to fot larger items such as a custodian or flat cap was a push but you could strap it to the side If it.The only things to have broken on it over the years of use and abuse is the pull tabs on the zippers, a few have given up the fight however they can be replaced without any issues.

I have this for Search and Rescue. It’s early days but so far it’s a great bag with lots of useful features. No pocket on the sides for water bottles though, a real shame as it would be perfect if it had them.

I have had this bag for years now, I bought after initially seeing it in a film, it was years ago I can’t remember much about it think it had Sean Penn in it and there was an app I used that linked items that were in films which I where I found this product, and what a find it was!Weird way to start this review!Anyway, I have used to and from work for several years, I use it to carry electrical and clothing items when I travel on the train to see friends and family! It’s surprising how much you can fit it in, there are straps that allow you to tighten up the load so if you’ve got something you don’t want wobbling around, pull the straps tight and off you go!I’ve had this on my back and walked home for 90 mins in rain and I can confirm it’s water proof.The zoos are extra strong!!! I’ve had both of my knees pushing this down to try and shut and with someone else pulling on the zips, I’m sure 99% of other bags the zips would’ve bust but this is some strong equipment!There’s a bunch of little pockets and compartments so you can separate specific items, phone chargers/ toiletries etc.Has some useful webbing I have used this when out on day walks and it’s great, anything you think you might need, throw it in, there’s plenty of room.I’m not the strongest person in the world but once I adjust the straps I feel like I could have this thing on my back all day, it’s a really fantastic product.I would say I’d buy one again, but I don’t think I’ll need to as it is great quality.When I first got it I was kind to it, now I just throw it on the floor, Chuck it in the car, it’s a tough piece of kit.Would recommend.The only ‘downside’ is when I bought it I was looking for something smaller the size of it, however im sure you can tell I’m really happy with the size it’s great, but maybe check the measurements first because it might catch you off guard as it did me.

Great bag but mesh inside breaks and a toggle fell off at first touch. Superglue did the trick but lazy manufacture. Worth the cash though.
