CamelBak Motherlode

This was perfect for what I carry with me everyday to the motorpool and the ACU pattern matches my ACU's perfect--thanks

This is the best pack out there hands down. A little pricey but bombproof. It has the dual ASIP antennae ports and two cordura loops inside that hold them down closer to the radio(s). Plus pen holders, pockets galore and lotsa MOLLE/PAL tabs. I have bought alot of bags but this bag beats them all. Get one. It's worth every dime.

The cargo area itself is great, the waistbelt is fine. The Hydration system is great. The only problem is that if you have a chest or shoulders then the top portion of the shoulder straps and all their hangers for quick equipment are at about at the level of the top of you shoulders. Drawing a combat knife at the level of your ear is not suitable, unless you like to have your ear splayed open. G.E.C.

I got selected for a random advanced search at the airport with this bag as my carryon and the TSA had trouble finding all of the compartments!

First of all, this backpack fits very comfortably on my back. The lumbar support is truly amazing. Unlike most backpacks, the side that fits against your back is very breathable, so there is no moisture building up making it uncomfortably wet. I hit two high peaks in the Adirondack mountains yesterday with this pack and it was amazing! It held up extremely well to the cold weather ranging from 4 F. to -15F. The molle attachments makes carrying gear and anything else extremely easy. The price is steep, but it is well worth it!
