EXCELLENT ELITE SPANKER Outdoor Hydration Backpack Bundle Packs Water Bladder Carrier for 3L Water Bladder

I wanted a small assault/patrol pack that can attach to a much larger rucksack. I plan on using the PALS system to attach to my ruck as I feel the FILBE assault pack is to large and I dislike the way it attaches to the top.PROS:1. The PALS attachment system along with the ability to use shoulder straps a huge plus for what I want to do with this pack. I don’t ever see using this pack attached to a plate carrier as it is a little to large for that and you would have to remove your plate carrier to access items.2. The size is very nice. It is only a bit smaller than a 5.11 Rush 12 for reference.3. Build quality seems good. We shall see.4. The color is the darker coyote brown and not a tan.5. The magazine holder is a nice touch.6. The side PALS webbing for canteen pouches are how I like carrying my water.7. Comes with a semi-rigid back stiffenerCONS:1. The provided shoulder straps are very thin and would be painful if you have a heavy load in your pack. Easy to replace with ALICE shoulder straps (see picture)2. Not sure what’s up with the weird Velcro/cord situation going on on the front/top portion of the pack. If anyone knows what this is for, please let me know. I would rather see more PALS webbing here. I ended up attaching straps so I could mount a poncho.

Bought this for an upcoming event, perfectly fit on the back panel of my plate carrier, with lots of space to carry my equipment and supplies.

Out of package pack appeared to be well made and have good quality.Upon further evaluation it’s definitely well crafted. Good zippers and pulls. Stitching is solid. Lots of room in the main compartment.It has removable straps so you can molle it On to a plate carrier or another pack.Two exterior pockets are spacious as well with good placement.My only issue is how the pack straps are attached at the top. In stead of being threaded through a buckle and tri glide. It’s just a tab on the strap end holding it on. It’s fine my intended use but will NOT hold heavy loads. Just be aware.Definitely recommend this pack. Good buy for the price and product intent.

I honestly didn’t expect much due to its price, I’m a tad spoiled by higher end gear but I needed a decent pack for an air soft milsim load out and couldn’t pass it up at the price, the stitching and cordura quality is on par with condor, the buckles are a tad cheap and the included shoulder straps aren’t great, but I got it to weave onto a plate carrier so I haven’t used them. I am fairly impressed that the zippers are rather large and quite robust even when abused. The molle system is well spaced and works with all the pouches I have and weaved well onto my Paraclete RAV PC. I’ve used it for a couple of events and it’s holding up well, for the price point I’d say it’s hard to beat

Good back pack mounts great to my ncstar platecarrier you just have to weave it in between the Molle on the plate carrier and the molle on the back of the bag and it should stay on the PC quite flush with it weaved through great for airsoft/milsim has enough room for almost every thing bottle of BBS extra batteries green gas and any accessories plus room for say a sweatshirt more waterPros:Enough room for essentials and a few more thingsHas a hole in the top for hydration hoseHas string on inside to hold up bladder(not included)Has a divider for hydration bladderA outside pouch has bands to slide magazines into 3 slots 1 mag each (atleast for ar15 mags not sure about AK47/74 mags)Has air holes in the bottom for venting of airBungee cord to secure miscellaneous itemsGoofy patch that has SPANKER in big letters on it(it’s also glow in the dark)Plenty of Velcro space for patchesCons:Not water resistant no coating to prevent water from seeping throughStraps are a bit uncomfortable but easily remedied by using rifle sling padsPossible improvements:Maybe making more comfortable straps and also instead of a tab system for attaching maybe a clip system to easily drop the pack from your shouldersOverall great pack either for airsoft or just as a daypack for hiking

Color, quality, storage capacity, space, and durability is amazing.

Molly straps are good but only thing was arm straps need to be thicker to use as backpack

My son is in the military and this fits perfectly with his vest. Thank you!
