SOG Ninja Backpack

I didn t buy from Amazon, bought from Walmart it was 5 bucks cheaper but it did take 3 trips to Walmart to get the brown color. They had the black and I liked it just not black. So I have the pack for over 6 months. It has endured 2 trips to Florida to the beech. One semester of college. With books and iPad and sometimes my laptop. I have a large fell and it will fit but it does throw the pack off balance feel off a little. Works fine for 2 college texts plus 2 notebooks and iPad. Drag it to work everyday. Since I got out of the military I am a nurse and it follows me everywhere I go. It s my man purse I guess it s cool I m secure with my manhood. Don t judge. U will drag this bag everywhere also. It s not to big as that u can t pack it everywhere and look stupid. It s mall fits behind back well. I ride a GSRX in the summer time and it didn t interfere with me riding. Even at higher speed 80-90mph. I jam keys 2-3 cans of dip and numerous pens and sharpies in the outside pockets. The inside mesh pockets I keep small toiletries in case I get stuck at work. Toothbrush can fit easily lengthwise. Main compartment has drain hold but have had to use that feature yet. I seriously beat the hell out of this thing and it works. I wanted a nice pack that would last and didn t cost a fortune. I looked at Kelty, 511, and tons of others for about 6 months before I made my decision. It came down to one made by 12 survivors that seemed really nice but it almost tripled the price. This one has got my vote at the price it won t break the bank and if u just need a day pack it works well or a cheap first aid bug out bag this one will work good for you.

I got this bag at a great price I couldn t pass up from Amazon. It s a very good pack for the price even with out the deal I got. Now it is made in China but the materials and quality are good. Time will tell on durability but it seems solid. A lot of compartments on the inside. I added orange paracord pull tabs on the inner zippers for better visibility. The Velcro is good on the bladder pass through tabs (left and right handed sides). The back panel of the inner front storage area is a water resistant material. There are water drainage holes at the bottom of the main compartment. The side water bottle storage can hold a 40oz bottle (similar to Hydroflask). Fits a 3L water bladder with a velcro tab to hold it up. Two mesh zippered pockets in the main compartment. Padded straps and back. Zippers seem pretty solid. I ve put an ammo can and two hand guns in cases in this and it holds fine. So far, I would recommend it.

Update 1: My number one tip to improve this bag would be to rub a candle on all of the zippers. I found the zippers to be quite stiff and hard to open and close when I first bought the bag, but after rubbing a the hard wax from a candle over them they are running so much smoother. Update 2: Since buying this backpack I ve discovered the 34;SOG accessory pouch 34; (small) and I can t recommend it enough if you re looking to expand the size of this backpack. When I purchased my first accessory pouch it was 6.49 with Prime shipping, the price has since gone up a little (and it s often out of stock) but I still think it is wayyy underpriced. I now have 4 SOG accessory pouches for my pack and two Chrome Industries phone pouches that mount on the shoulder straps, The SOG pouches are fantastic, they easily attach to the molle webbing on the outside of your pack, they have elastic on the inside to keep things like flashlights, multitools etc in place and there are two large mesh pockets with drawstrings to keep loose items. 34; is huge, a little larger than a Maxpedition Fatty. I just added some pics of my pack with all 4 pouches (plus two phone pouches) attached...probably a couple too many TBH, but I can easily remove them if need be. Original review: ve wanted to build myself a bug-out bag for a while now, something that would hold enough gear to last me at least 72 hours in an emergency situation. I think I made a great choice in buying this bag. I have a lot of other SOG products, and like the other items I own, this seems well made. I particularly like that this bag has so many pockets, so its easier to keep everything organized. s also a lot of molle webbing on the outside, so I ll probably buy a couple of extra pouches to have the option of carrying additional gear (see update 2). My Platypus 3 liter hydration pack fits into a pocket in the main section (I think a 2 liter bag would probably fit better though) and there s a hole to run the tubing and mouthpiece to the outside. s also a pocket on the outside for a water bottle. m sure I m going to be tweaking my gear for a long time in an effort to get just the right combo, but so far I m really pleased with this bag.

I ordered this pack and was very disapointed that it was damaged and looked different than advertised. I contacted amazon and I got another one and this time the pack is awesome. Its very thick and very well made. Its very nice size and very ideal if you want a tactical pack that s good quality from a trusted brand, but don t want something to big. I have a 17 34; laptop that fits no problem with room to spare. Its also hydration compatible which is a nice feature if your gonna use this outdoors. The zippers are very well made and durable, the stitching is great and strong and the Velcro is ideal size for patches as well. Overall this is a very good backpack and ideal sized and a great value

Great material, double stitching. Some people have complained of zipper issues, but I have not experienced this. I bought one to check it out. Much better than some of those other bags in the same price range, like the ones that have the strap running vertically down the front. Those things are garbage. Definitely get one of these instead. I m actually getting ready to buy another. It s basically the size of a school backpack.

awesome back pack for a weekender or as a day pack. I use it for con s and day trips with family. There are a lot of storage compartments, padding for the back and shoulders, holes for the straw and a separate compartment for a camel pack and its pretty modular. I have other smaller bags that I can attach to this using all the MOLLE panels all over the bag.

Product quality and design are excellent. It s a well constructed pack that is the correct size for a carry-on and has a place for almost everything...except a laptop. s amazing how much stuff you can get into this pack! Handle is convenient and well attached. Straps are easily adjustable, well padded, and comfortable.

Sturdy bag, fat zippers. My only real complaint is that I wish they would have removed the bottle holder on the one side so that the webbing and the zipper can descend to the bottom of the pack like on the other side... I could then open the pack like a clam shell. It has a bladder hook and pocket, so why would I use a water bottle?

This is an amazing bag. I own two of them. They re sturdy and the molle attachment system allows you to add storage to the outside of the bag. They accept hydration systems and have two ports in the top to accommodate hydration system straws. It compresses down when light on contents via two side straps, the top handle is sturdy, there are shoulder strap quick disconnects, etc... It s a great daypack. My only dislikes are A) I don t like the name of the pack. 34; sounds silly for such an otherwise great product and B) in the upper velcro area for patches, there is a pattern in the fabric of a skull wearing a beret. Again, this is a silly detail on an otherwise great product. I highly recommend getting a 2 34;x 3 34; american flag patch to cover this nonsense up.

I didn t think I would get this excited about a backpack, but this item is great. I don t even use it that often, mainly on occasional weekend camping trips in the summer, but I m glad I got it. The molle attachment is system is great and I ve bought several accessories for it. I find myself looking for ways to use it more often.
