As far as quality it appears ok, especially for the price. I bought the Tan for use in hot/direct sun conditions, but it is not tan - it is brown. It is darker than my coyote-colored Tru-Spec tactical pants. As a darker color will absorb heat from direct sun, guess I will use it during cooler/cold months in direct sun..... If the color had been a light tan (like the pictures show) would have given 5 starts.

I bought one of those smaller multi-compartment packs that sells under every name out there and have used it for years. But little by little, I began breaking zippers and losing buckles and starps. Finally pulled the trigger on this one. I wanted a compact unit that would hold a bladder and this is perfect. As an RSO, I always carry extensive first aid and the fold down outer portion holds everthing I need and folds down for quick access. The main compartment is large and doesn't unzip all the way, stays in a bag shape, so stuff doesn't fall out when you zip too far. And I use the lacing on the back to carry sweaty outer layers to dry.

I wear 32” all day long, but these swallow me up whole. These ar]re more like 36” then 32”. Not happy with them at all, but had to keep them. I wore them and washed to try to shrink them a bit, failed. Still way too big. But, warm they are.
