Backpack questions
 
Hi guys,

I'am looking for a new backpack for school and on the field ! Since I am a poor student I looked at both
http://www.airsoftpark.com/tactical-...t-p-10095.html
and
http://www.airsoftpark.com/1000d-arm...ck-p-9370.html

Does someone here bought one of theses ? ( my budget was under 70$ ) or anyone have any other interesting backpacks in mind?


http://www.condoroutdoor.com/160_Venture_Pack.aspx I am looking at something like that :P (but this is one is too expensive)

This Pack

It will last you, unlike those repro POS's. I have the Darwin 1 and it has been used and abused for over 10 years all over the planet. It's still going strong.

It's also MEC so you get the Hipster Cred to boot.

Level III Assault Pack

I'd stay away from condor, they arent known to be the best quality.
what is your price range?

ecnerual October 24th, 2012 22:04

It was about 70$ bot I think I LL need to put more money ! Maybe 120$ max

Ozone06 October 24th, 2012 22:18

Yes They'll break in a couple weeks if your putting the stuff I'm thinking you're putting in it.

ecnerual October 24th, 2012 22:22

I'll sue my teachers then! Thx for help Guys I'll update soon if I have a question!

redzaku October 25th, 2012 01:23

Well, you can always go surplus, get a rucksack, price may vary on what style of rucksack

I have this pack. Once you remove the excessively long Nylon adjustment straps (use a scissor and burn the edge off with a lighter) it's a nice, comfy pack with ample of room. Been using mine for over 6 months now. Carry a Mac + waterproof eVent pants + lunch box daily and still with plenty of room to spare.

ccyg8774 October 25th, 2012 03:18

I heard the Assault Pack in the ILBE set is getting cheap these days.
Not sure about the exact price now, but I had one of that, the quality is good, the design is... You may need some extra MOLLE pouches of you want to carry some small objects.

lurkingknight October 25th, 2012 09:23

get a real 5.11 rush 12... they go for 100$~

or ditch the clones and get one of these...

How about a normal backpack for school? You know, something without molle that doesn't scream tactical or bring unwanted attention to yourself?

In which case... The North Face Recon.
http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/...r/recon_3.html

It has features specific to your application. And is typical TNF quality.

As a further aside, most MEC (mec.ca) packs will be of MUCH higher quality than any asian knockoff tactical shit. And they have a kickass return policy/warranty, perfect for the cash strapped student who can only afford to buy once. Go there.

lurkingknight October 25th, 2012 10:52

btw, more on the rush 12, initially I was thinking it was going to be too small for my needs, and aside from being about 2-3 inches too short (can't stuff my p90 into it easily and let's face it guys, who wouldn't want a couple more inches.. eh? eh?)

I can't believe how much stuff I've jammed into it... knee pads, face mask, propane tank, about 6 large bags of BBs, 2 screwdriver sets, my p90 sling harness, shemagh, tactical toilet paper, food, glow sticks, jacket. And it still has space for a 1.5L hydration bladder.

Yep, dirt cheap now. I used one for years until the zippers gave out (they've been upgraded on later production models). It held plenty of books + laptop, but there's not much in the way of organization. If these guys ship international, I'd say definitely worth $35.

You might also check out MOLLE II Assault packs on eBay...woodland, desert, and ACU/UCP versions galore.

Huron October 25th, 2012 19:53

Echo what Mike and Horto are saying... You might want to avoid looking like a school shooter dude. If you really can't live without it being a MOLLE pack then at least stay away from black. That seems like it would be the most frightening to people.

Disco_Dante October 25th, 2012 20:05

You see plenty of Molle bags on campuses. No one's going to flip a bitch over some fabric loops.

thpethalK October 25th, 2012 20:41

I walk all over Toronto on foot wearing either my RUSH 12, 24 or 72. I have them in Black, Sandstone and Multicam.

I think I get more looks with the Multicam than any of the other ones.

SuperHog October 25th, 2012 21:27

Most people don't even know what Molle is. If the bag is OD or CB, it will look like any school backpack.

Saw a girl at a bus stop last week, her backpack was multi-cam with patches on it and......a hydration tube hanging out.

SuperHog October 25th, 2012 23:11

Are we picking a backpack for ecnerual or picking up girls with backpacks?

lurkingknight October 26th, 2012 11:56

I liked where this was headed :/

covert 18 was the contender vs my rush12. Only reason I didn't take the covert 18 was that I wanted some external molle to add a few pouches. I also didn't choose multicam for the attention it would have gotten... it's a bit more obnoxious military looking than just a flat color. While regular round peg on the street may not associate molle with guns, they will definitely associate camo to guns.

SuperHog October 26th, 2012 13:33

So males with camo are associated with guns, and girls with multicam are attractive. I see stereotyping here.

So you're saying that Multicam is not well suited to the urban environment?

Sure, I did ask. She said she plays both airsoft and paintball. She has a King Arms M4 for airsoft and a Matrix for paintball.

And Off-Kilter, "No" I did not ask her for her phone number for you.

agreed. Look at ACU/ UCP camo ones, they're going really cheap because most people hate the camo. The 24h pack is quite good. Avoid the 3 day ruck. It's way too big.

ecnerual November 2nd, 2012 15:44

I finnaly bought a ILBE Assault Pack Generation 2 Marpat for 55$ shipped :p Should be enough for me !

ecnerual November 13th, 2012 12:56

Make sure you Guys dont buy from ammocanman they shipped with USP even if I asked with Canada post :/ 17$ brokerage fee

SINN November 13th, 2012 14:33

I would be stoked if they shipped me a gun along with my backpack :) (USP)
