My reveiw is:Right out of the box and am packing it for the first time.First of all, I need this pack style for my job.I work out door all during my shift and I need to live out of this pack.I thought I'd give this pack a try to consolodate what I now carry (two bags) into one convenient back pack.No can do, but that it not the pack's fault. That is mine..... I like all the comforts of home with me during the day.I was looking for something compactful without looking like I was going trekking for 5 days.The material is sturdy. Exactly what I'd expect from such a pack.The Zippers to the two main compartments may not hold up well over time if you like to over stuff your pack.I've noted it and will be careful with them and try not to over pack the bag.My main disappointment is with the length of the shoulder straps and the waist strap.I am a big barrel chested guy. The shoulder straps are a struggle to get over my shoulders.If I have to wear an overcoat in really cold weather, the bag won't fit over my shoulders.Likewise, the waist straps won't fit around my size 48 belly....I will have to find some extenders to attach to the straps to make use of the straps on this bag.Once I am at work, I don't have to wear the bag.I can set it down on my workspace and have it handy when I need it.But I still need to carry a second but smaller ditty bagMy reason for the 3 stars for comfort are due to the shorted length of the straps.This was my only disappointment.Finally, I was attracted to the price of this item and thought to give it a try.Maybe I was a bit harsh in my review for such an inexpensive item, but as a recreational bag, this bag is better than okay. If you need to pack for a light weighted walk in the woods, this bag will accommodate you nicely.____________________________________________________Updated Review: Feb 29th.One week into using this bag, the only thing I find a problem for me is the length of the shoulder straps and thw waist belt. I am a bulky guy and the strap lengths are much too short for comfort. I am choking from the combined weight and shortness of the shoulder straps and the chest straps, forget about them. No use to me.The waist belt causes the bag to hang on me causing me more choking.Finding strap accessories wasn't easy at first.I searched YouTube and got lucky finding a solution for the shoulder straps buying a kit from Liberty Mountain Products; they sell lots of climbing gear.Then I searched Amazon for Liberty Mountain and found plenty of strap accessories.Now I have a complete solution for the shortness of shoulder and waist straps.Why put out a product with these kinds of issues in the first place ?At least produce some accessory straps to buy...Why make me search for a solution.I have plenty of other things on my mind....But now I have a pack that will serve me well for my limited needs from this pack.As a piece of luggage for everyday use or a gentle day walk in the woods... this pack is fine.Were in my 20's again winter camping in extreme conditions..... nope... I would not bet my life on a $35 bag.___________________________________________________________It's now September and I am still using this molle bag.By now I have tricked out the bag with accessory pouches and storage attachments.I am reasonably satisfied with this pack after having tricked it out with useful attachments.If I were to buy this system all over again, and I might for my motorcycle riding, a pack with a more supportive waist belt would be a priority for me. The entire weight of this pack fully loaded hangs on your shoulders instead of the weight being distribution around your waist allowing your chest to expand and breathe with you._______________________Sept 12th, 2020I only carry this bag from my car to my building to my work vehicle.I've got it tricked out with extra attachments to separate out my gear and lunch for easy access.I always pack more than what I need for the day, but during the week, I will access all compartments.Because I need to carry this bag short distances, it works for this purpose.And once inside my work vehicle, this bag is perfect; it suits the purpose for my 8 hour shift. (or double shift)If I were doing overnight in the woods on the ground camping, this bag is NOT for that purpose.You would be better off with a bag with a waist belt that centers the load over your hips and OFF your shoulders.At minimum, a rucksack with a decent hip padded waist belt.This bag is okay for lightweight day hiking;But I'd still opt for a bag with a padded waist belt that can center your load over your hips.
