Why this bag has good reveiws and the same bag on amazon called "PARATUS Modular 3 Day Assault Pack - MOLLE Tactical Backpack" has many bad reviews?

Don't know? This bag is Ok-but the zippers are hard to open. Have to open a lot of straps to get to one area? There are multiple compartments that does not seems to make organizational sense. I would give this bag 3 stars.

The height is about 12" high, the length is about 17" and the thickness depends on how loose or tight you decided by the side compression straps. Which my bag is at 7" thick with room to expand further if need be. The bag has what looks like Molle straps for adding on or upgrading, but military issue Molle accessories like pouches, holsters or panels won't line up correctly and will look sloppy because this bag's webbing spacing is all wrong. It's a damn good bag for about $40, but wouldn't pay no more than $50. I can carry a 10" tablet, a change of clothes (t shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, toiletries) as well as tools and misc. other stuff. My bag weighs in around 12-15 lbs. with room to put more stuff.

Hi. This a very good Backpack, indeed I bought two for a backpacking trip to Europe with my wife. Pros: Low Price, Resistant, Nice Cons: 1. It only opens at top or bottom, so if you need something that is in the middle you have to take everything out before you find it. 2. Your clothes will have many wrinkles, but I assume this happens with any backpack

I use the black Condor as a backpack at my University. The back support is 10x better than my previous pack, which was my main purpose for getting it. The pack is not conducive, however, to carrying multiple textbooks, loose papers, and my laptop in the main pouch because everything sort of falls to the bottom. I would highly recommend the pack, but only if you buy some sort of dividers to go in the main pouch.

Judging from other backpacks I have seen, I think this one is definitely worth the $40. It is well padded, and I can fit a small laptop and an iPad in there, we'll protected, and still have room for all the peripherals needed, AND there is still manageable room for a few extras, such as a pad of paper, pens, and even my phone. I am very happy with it. I wish there were a choice of color, but the grey is "all purpose" so it's all good. When I started looking at various bags for my travel computers, I was astounded to find that a good number of them listed at over a hundred dollars, which made this one the bargain. Hope this helps.

As far as being able to take the rigors of a Ruck, yes - the bag is mil-spec and is made specifically for hunters/Law Enforcement professionals. Its the same size as a GR1 (Goruck). I bought mine as a work bag for commuting on my motorcycle, works really well. Go here to learn more - http://www.511tactical.com/rush-12-backpack.html

Yes it and from my basic use I think that it is a great pack. My last pack of the same sort was Jansport, and since they have not made it in year I have turned to Guerrilla Packs. This was also a great move by doing this. So I would say that this is the pack for you.

This is a very tough reliable bag and would work well for your needs. The only down side that I found after purchase is that it is rather smaller than the pictures lead you to believe. Wearing this backpack looked like I had just taken it from a 2nd grader. I purchased the 50L version of the bag as well (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KDBHWM/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). This would probably be better for your needs as for school or camping it holds much more and is still very comfortable and durable. Also the bag looks proportional to me as a grown male. I would recommend this bag instead. This is a very tough reliable bag and would work well for your needs.

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped. It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag.

After a LOT of Googling, I found some info on the contents (why doesn't the vendor list these, though???!!!) I cannot believe that so few reviewers included this info, either. Hopefully this helps you a little bit. http://ascentsherpaland.com/elite-large-fully-stocked-gi-issue-medic-first-aid-kit-bag-review/ http://homesteadsurvival.blogspot.com/2012/08/elite-large-fully-stocked-gi-issue.html

The bags on the front are heavy duty stitched with wrap around bungee cord tighteners to keep ammo or mags in. Also they have a vertical clip strap on each bag and Velcro on the flap. Their is a loop system on the front and rear of the bag not sure if that is considered the molle system or not. Hope this helps.

Yes, this is the Molle II Assault Pack. It can be used in conjunction with the Molle II Rucksack or by itself as a day pack.

The picture is misleading. It confused me too. Thankfully, the pocket is not angled. All of the pockets are straight. The pack easily carries my 17" laptop and portable speakers. It should easily carry all of the items you mentioned. It may not be able to hold a lot of bulky tactical gear, though. I love this pack, the looks, ergonomics, and price. But, If you need a pack quickly, don't order this one. It takes a very long time to ship from Germany. It's almost as if they wait to start cutting and sewing the fabric once you place the order. If you have a few months time before you need it, it's worth the wait. The picture is misleading. It confused me too. Thankfully, the pocket is not angled. All of the pockets are straight.

Pack light. Its slim not a big barrel bag. Its actually 4600cubic inches 75liter + 600cubic inches 10liters. The bottom sleeping bag is really fat but slim up top. Short in depth with the sleeping divider shut. 5.5 pounds. I see why this bag has a lot of straps on outside. I thought this bags was going to be bigger than the high siera 65 liter wrong. It just a slim basic comfortable summer bag for a over night, I shove everything inside my bags but this one is slim so your limited on gear therefor you have to strap it all down outside of the bag. Wide side hidden pockets Top lid got descent room and you could use that for a waist belt "fanny pack". Made in CHINA. Lifetime limited warranty Pack light. Its slim not a big barrel bag.

Amazon, you need to separate these out. I read a ton of bad reviews, and when I looked, most were for the backpack.

It appears to be compared to other packs of mine. I haven't filled it for measure. A buddy has the large, which is huge. Medium is good for a three day weekend or a manageable "get home bag". More important: this was in poor condition when received (patched, resewn, & coating worn off).
