I have had this bag for over a year now. It has been deployed twice (for training) and is enroute to its first overseas tour shortly. It packs a good amount of gear, but the lack of internal compression straps limit how much more stuff could go into it. Also, the fabric on one of the exterior corners has already worn thru (exposing the frame). It doesnt effect the functionality, but I wanted to submit an honest review. Overall, I'd still recommend this bag, but note its limitations.
Pros: Load carrying capacity
Cons: lack of compression straps; durability of material (corners)
