I was in the market for a bag that could carry a large load for a multiple day hike in and out fishing trips. Needed to be comfortable, hydration bladder compatible, with the versatility to customize with additional packs attached with molle strapping. I also wanted something that was made very rugged and could be reliable for many years. I did want to keep it under $150. I ended up getting the Condor three day assault pack. First impressions where excellent. I loaded it up to darn near 70lbs and went for a walk in the neighborhood. The internal aluminium frame, with the waist straps and excellent padding makes it the most comfortable pack I have ever worn. Here are some pics.
This is a very well made pack. Stitching is very well done. Compartments are very thoughtfully laid out with tons of little pockets and straps to organize and keep a ton of things in there place.
I found mine for under a $100 on Ebay and feel like this is a bargain for such a high quality pack
