    For $20? Hell ya! My girls' Hello Kitty Backpacks from Target cost more

    Looks like my cheapo Drago bag. The molle looks a bit odd but so what. Generally, the zippers are the soft point on cheap bags so just take it easy

        If you want to waste 20 bucks on a chinese made hunk of junk with weak zippers and single stitching. Or you could put that 20 bucks toward an genuine high quality pack that you'll appreciate if you ever need such gear.

          I pretty much stop reading now whenever I encounter the word tactical.

            Looks like the one I got off amazon for 20 bucks the other day. Couldn't find a label anywhere on it where it was made but I can tell the zippers are cheap and won't hold up long. At this price the source is probably the same

              I haven't seen a "high quality" pack for $40.

              Would you want this on deployment to Afghanistan? Probably not. For camping, stashing, school, whatnot, why not?

              Like I said, I have cheap Drago bag from Sportsmans guide. Like $45. I take it with me everyday to work or anywhere in the truck. Go through it occasionally to grab something or swap something out. I throw it around pretty good and keep it loaded full. A year in and't its fine.
              If the SHTF, I woild proabably swap out to one of the more expensive (and I assume better made) 5.11 bags. They are just bigger and heavy for my everyday carry

                Was thinking about a bag I can just throw all my gun crap in for range trips and camp trips. I'm too old to be deployed for war.

                    17x9x9 is kinda small. That's prolly why it can sell so cheep. If thst fits the bill? Then finw. A seamstress can change out the zipper if you ever need to.

                        Sure, if you want a small bag to schlep some stuff occasionally, why not?

                          Sweet....of course all the cool colors and patterns are sold out.

                          Gonna grad a green one though.....too good to pass up

                          This one ain't bad wither for $40, and it comes with a hydration bladder


                          Ended up buying both.....been needing an extra pack to set up a new BOB anyway.....and the $20 one was just to good to pass up. If nothing else will make a nice Xmas or Bday present for someone.

                            I use a similar one for flying and other day trip stuff. Its not too wide so I can walk down the aisle with it. If I take the aisle seat its thin enough that it wont spew out of the smaller space.

                            It fits my Mac Book perfectly. I took it and only it to Reno for a weekend and I had everything I wanted (including dress shirt and slacks). So the function is great. But I did get the Condor version from Amazon. Its more than 20$ and its enough quality for what I need it to do.

                              I'll reenforce stuff like that with liquid clear fabric glue "Magic Stitch" at likely stress points, or where it looks like stitching might start to come undone.
