Great quality and value for the price
By lazerbeam on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015
I have purchased several other Red Rock products (small duffle bag, pistol holsters, ammo magazine pouches) and have not been disappointed in any of their products. There is no exception to this assault pack. This assault pack is just what I expected. That said, this is not a 3-day tactical bag or a "bug-out-bag". It is a darn good one day camping or one day hiking bag. It has plenty of room and handles a reasonable weight load. My primary use is to take to the gun range. I have put three semi-auto pistols in tactical holsters (2 each 9mm and a .40 cal); three magazxine pouches with three loaded mags in each pouch; two pair of shooting glasses; two pair of ear protectors ("mickey mouse type); two mag loaders; a Leatherman multi-tool; four boxes of 50 rounds each 9mm/155gr; and 2 boxes of 50 rounds each .40 cal S&W/165grs. I also have 4 small MOLLE pouches (two on each side) with a set of small pistol sized laser sights in two of them. I still have room for more ammo or other items. The zippers are good quality and the seams are double stictched. It's constructed from 600 denier nylon with a vinyl liner inside on all the surfaces that face outward. I do not believe it is waterproof, but probably water resistant to some degree and would keep light rain from getting inside while being worn. I did a lot of research looking for a bag that I could use to haul my stuff to the gun range. You can pay a lot more for nearly identical pack but at this price point you cannot beat it in terms of quality, size and weight capacity. In my research, I looked at a lot of Youtube video "reviews" of this pack and I have to tell you there are some really incompetent "reviewers" out there. One that really caught me attention was a very young man that claimed this particular pack's seam were unravelling. His "proof" was a small thread that was sticking out at the end of a sewn seam. What it actually was, was the end of a stitch where the seamstress cut thread off from the sewing machine.

not worth your time
By A. Sombrio on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2015
This pack has performed fantastically for me. There is tons of room, if you pack organized, for everything you might need on a 5-7 day trip, maybe a few days less if you are doing colder weather packing. the 2 large compartments unzip fully, which is great for getting at gear in the bottom, and both have internal pouches for valuables or whatever else. There are 2 compression straps on each side and 2 on the bottom, and each strap is equipped with an elastic loop to hold the loose ends so they dont flap around or need to be tucked away. I easily squeezed a 3L water bladder into the back pouch, and there is a loop on the chest strap for the bladders mouthpiece, keeping it out of the way but within easy reach for drinking on the run. I have 2 additional molle pouches and a K-Bar strapped to the outside, which is really convenient. Overall I love it and, once its adjusted properly, it is insanely comfortable with at least 35-40 pounds (my max so far in this pack). The cons- as advertised the waist strap isnt padded, but I knew that when I bought it. The back padding is really comfortable, but doesnt allow for much airflow, so expect lots of sweating, which also really isnt a problem since that is what happens when you hike anyhow. The only major flaw is that the fabric between the 2 main compartments has started delaminating and is pulling apart completely. I have put about 130 miles with 20-40 pound loads on this pack and this is a very dissapointing flaw. In reality, however, its a bargain pack. It offers great comfort and usability for a bargain price, and a professional can stitch it up for me for a minimal cost. You will get what you pay for (borderline cheap fabric) and a whole lot more (thoughtful features, comfort, overall great pack) with this one. UPDATE...crap. ripped again, massive hole where compression strap meets front of pack, while tightening it down. Im not that strong, this pack isnt either.
