CRAZY ANTS Large Military Tactical Backpack Hiking Camping Daypack Duffle Upgraded Version

This is my initial impression of the duffel/pack I received, I will update later on after putting it into some 'abuses'.Initial impression of the quality of material used was overall good. It is a very good size for me to use as a check in piece of luggage while it is just a tad big for many planes' overhead compartments.I found that my pack has one of the paracord zipper pull carelessly sewn to the seam of the zipper- a QA issue there. I could return the pack and await a replacement but I decided to simply cut the portion of the paracord out from its sewn location; it might weaken that inch-long paracord zipper pull in the long run but right now, the paracord is more like a fray. That is extremely minor as I could simply replace it in the future as the pack get used.Pros-The size is simply WONDERFUL, not overly big as a real duffel but big enough to carry a lot.There are numerous interior pockets though I would like to see some it not all with zippers, but that would probably add to the cost of the product.The four external cling straps served wonderfully to tighten the overall load.Four external handles to aid in haul this thing about while trying to catch a flight.Wonderfully situated shoulder straps, hip belt and sternum strap long enough for adjustments.Zippered cover for shoulder straps when not in use- great to prevent snag as check-in luggage.Lots of molle attachment straps all around.Cons-Though the zipper shoulder strap cover was wonderful, it was only held up in its rolled up position on the top of the pack with a narrow strip of hook and loop tab. I would have appreciated maybe a couple of small straps/belts or even paracord tie downs to secure the roll more firmly so it would not get undone accidentally.While I like the shoulder straps, I would like them to be thicker as fully loaded, the weight could really cut into the shoulders.The same goes for the minimal sling-over shoulder strap, at least provide a thicker, wide piece of Velcro closed pad that would also keep the two loose straps together as one. That would have to be replaced by an aftermarket shoulder strap or something better I have laying about.I would appreciated some belt keepers for all these wonderfully long straps too, just so the loose ends would not simply dangled about. There are aftermarket hard plastic belt keepers that I will purchase for that purpose then.One last minor nitpick, that freebie American flag patch that came with it was more reddish than tan or coyote brown; I would have like a more subdued one but hey, it's a freebie.All in all, I like this pack and can't wait to haul it about in a couple of flights and then, I will update my review here!

I bought the 50 liter version to use as a gym bag to take to karate. I've been wanting "the perfect" bag with compartments multiple compartments to hold my gear and keep stuff organized. That bag doesn't exist.So I decided to try out a tactical bag with MOLLE webbing and just buy various pouches for the gear that can't just be tossed in the main compartment. And that was a great decision! The bag itself has plenty of room for both my gi and a few kobudo weapons, there's a large outer pocket that's perfect for paperwork I need to carry with me, and the addition of a gear pouch and first aid pouch gives me the gym bag I need with the right customizing.I wish the the shoulder strap had a cushioned pad on it but 1) those are cheap to buy and 2) I knew it didn't come with one so I can't ding the ag for not having one. The shoulder straps are comfortable and there are multiple ways to carry the bag, which I appreciate.So far, the bag is holding up well and I'd definitely recommend it for light to medium duty use.

This pack is awesome. This bag is pretty cool. It's a little heavy, but looks like it will hold up in tough conditions. Lots of storage space. Makes a great bug out bag. I've compared the fabric and zippers to other high end packs that cost much more than I paid for this one and there is absolutely no comparison. The fabric is so much durable and thicker. Superior zippers as well. The addition of the looped attachment points all over the pack has been fantastic for attaching everything from ropes, to cups, and even sliding in tent steaks to keep the inside of your pack clean. I would definitely recommend this pack.

This bag is very large. It held everything I wanted and more. I would have given it 5 stars but there are two functions that I feel it is lacking. The Zipper to open it is a side zipper. In my mind it would be great if it had a top loading option or a fill zip and flip open option. But you load and stuff from the side. My other issue are the straps. The straps are nice, but they need to be removable for when not in use. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the bag so far. I'm going to wait a month and do another review after I use it daily for 30 days.

I like the bag. What I don't like about it, it's more like a duffle bag and loads from the side rather than the top. In addition the waist belt didn't come around far enough where I could buckle it. So I had it altered with an additional 10 inches of webbing in order to be able to buckle it. (I'm large person around the middle). I wanted it for a my bug out bag and I've been watching a lot of guys on youtube on how and what they put in theirs. Now, I've followed their advice and suggestions and I can't figure out how they get all the gear they suggested in a smaller bag which weighs in at 25 - 30 pounds. When I load my bag, (there are some items they suggested that I haven't added and I've removed some items to lessen the weight) it's stuff full and weighs way more than 30 pounds. Still a project in the works, but having a lot of fun doing it.

This si a good bag in concept. It is roomy, well balanced decent design. It how ever is poorly made. the materials are good but the workmanship and quality control are not. It comes with a shoulder strap and 2 anchor points at each of the long ends, one of my anchor points was completely ripped out even though the strap was packaged inside the bag. But the curious fact was the plastic D ring was still attached to the strap. Someone had tested it ripped it out and packaged it any way. Very sad quality control.
