Midway tactical backpack

[LAKings22]

I'm looking to buy a new backpack and came across this from midway. I have seen a lot of good reviews on the midway range bag and assuming the quality of this backpack should be the same. Before I put in the order, I wanted to get some feedback from anyone who has or still owns one of these.

If you guys know of any other backpacks around the same price range that's worth to consider, please let me know

I'll probably use it for the range or anything a backpack might be needed.

I bought a couple of packs that were similar to that from LA Police Gear last year. They were on special, and I got them for less than that, IIRC. Choice of 3 colors, Tan, Green, Black.
Very well made, and very heavy material. Comparing it to one I bought from WalMart, and the one from WalMart is definately flimsier and much ligher in weight.

I have no experience with the Midway bag but I do have a couple Optics planet backpacks that have been great. I own two, one has been used almost daily as a diaper bag for my kids. It still looks new and the zippers are still smooth. The other gets used as a travel/range bag. I've had this bag loaded down with pistols and ammo and has held up, with no signs of rips or damage. Another good thing is that it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

It may look new.
It may function like new.
But I can guarantee it doesn't smell new, lol.
Had some experience with that.
Fabreeze is your friend, lol .

Im a fan of condor bags. I have one that has traveled all over the place. It has been loaded up with tons of heavy stuff, through airports, and it keeps on going strong. I think I paid 50-60 for it.

That 3 day assault pack looks good. I have a Condor 42" rifle bag and it's held up pretty well.

^^^ for the price they're hard to beat. I have the operator bag as my GHB and like it alot, zippers could be better but its held up good holdin 25lbs everyday being tossed around for a year. It's no Maxpedition but does the job

A friend of mine bought one of the LA Police Gear bags and it seems to be pretty well made. Not up to the quality of my military Camelbak packs but well above the other made-in-china stuff out there.

IIRC he paid $29.99 for it and at that price it's a no-brainer. I would have bought one myself if I hadn't just got a screaming deal on my Camelbaks.

Thanks again .. I ended up ordering the LA police gear operator bag.

I have this bag, use it everyday. No problems holds a bunch of stuff and its still going strong after 3 yrs. Most backpacks ive had last only a year. The zippers and the material have survived this far.

Good thread. Lots of good suggestions. Tagged.

Looks like the Condor 3 day assault bag. I was going to pull the trigger on that one but decided it might be a little too big. so I went with the slightly smaller LA police gear operator.
