SOG Scout Backpack CP1004B Black, 24 L

Material looks good and authentic. Love the space and the molle insert. Great tactical backpack for camping and adventure.

Great product, well designed. Holds a lot for being a smaller pack. Only flaw I noticed is no straps on bottom to attach a tent, sleeping pad, or sleeping bag. It is also comfortable when wearing. I have about 15 lbs of gear in it and it feels lighter while on my back

I really like this backpack. I use it for search and rescue/ hiking. This backpack has a ton of pockets for organizing gear inside the pack while not interfering with the main compartment. It also has little to no items to be snagged out On the trail. The sunglasses pouch is a bit small horizontally for my sunglasses but fantastic for quick grab items such as headlamps, ouchie kits, evidence bags, etc. now for the cons Cons The back is solid. This is nice for low profile but even on a cool day or short hike I might as well jump in a lake. Because I will be soaked with sweat. Also the padding is decent on the shoulder straps but I would appreciate more. Overall I enjoy the pack and think it will last for a good while. However I would love for them to make some improvements and re release it.

Took on a hike. Breathes well, comfortable and has room for gear.

I had high hopes that this was going to be my all-in-one travel/every day bag. I'm in IT and regularly carry a laptop, lots of cables, and overnight items for when I travel. I love the hard case/space and the overall look/form of the bag. It also fits me well. I have a few issues with this bag, however: 1) The laptop compartment isn't very padded. It's more of a pouch that happens to fit a laptop with little padding at all. 2) The pack panel comes with an aluminum stave which adds rigidity to the back panel. Unfortunately, as shipped, the stave has an "S" bend to it for ergonomic purposes (I assume). The result is that the bend of the stave puts almost all the pressure/weight of the bag onto your laptop. With the stave being approximately 3/4" thick I have no doubt that a fully packed bag would result in a cracked screen. For what it's worth - the stave can be bent or removed, but then it loses the point. 3) The zippers don't seem to be of very high quality. A number of times when opening/closing the bag the zippers would catch on themselves and I'd have to slightly back up then go forward again.
