Red Rock Outdoor GearAssault Pack

I've used this pack for eight years now. I initially bought it for a week-long trip, and since then I've kept using it for multiple purposes. I've used it for short trips because it's comfortable, light, and fits everything I need. It's part of my EDC because it holds all the items I may need, including a rain jacket, tape, USB battery pack, and protective gear. Being able to add extra items on the outside using the MOLLE-style webbing is a great bonus that comes in handy for those larger/bulkier items that don't fit inside the compartments. I've thought about getting a new bag, but I really don't need to since this pack is still holding strong. The durability I've gotten from this backpack has beaten every other bag I've ever had over the last 20+ years.

I have bought the Red Rock Outdoor Back Pack three times, and I cant say enough good things about it.Originally bought 2 bags, one for work and other for travel, and they have since taken over my life.The bag has a slightly smaller width then traditional back packs making it nice and compact, but it makes up for it in expandable volume. The main compartment works as a full clamshell making it easy to pack and access (think clothes). The center compartment provides additional volume from top to bottom making it perfect for laptops and electronics. And, the front two compartments are great for your smaller odds and ends such as pens, notebooks, and flashlights.An additional nice feature is the bag has some sort of inner wax lining which goes a long way in making it water resistant. While it is not waterproof, it does do well in heavy rain / wet conditions. Lol, the reason I had to buy the bag the third time was because I used on a trip to Costa Rica during the rainy season and ended up gifting it to a local who was enamored with it, but unable to purchase through Amazon.Pro tip if you use item with clips such as key rings and badges, weave zip ties through the outer webbing to create connection points.Love this bag!

I bought this in 2014 and it's still kicking it has been my go to bag all these years. For motorcycle rides to kids diperbag it's been with me. Everything still works except on zipper on the front pocket started to detach. But besides that it's 💯 I wouldn't be surprised to get another 10 years. I've had at least 3 people see me ask about the bag then show up with their own shortly after.

This pack has been great. I'm only leaving a review now because I finally after 6 years need to get a new one soon. It's still 99% functional, but one of the teeth on the main zipper came undone, so I have to zip one side 1/3 of the way, and the other side the other 2/3 to fully close it.

I've just received it today and will probably update this review once I've used it a few times to determine possible pro's and con's of the bag.I love the bag at first glance for looks and style design. I purchased the Woodland Digital Camouflage pattern. I purchased this bag specifically for hunting with my husband that being said this bag STINKS horribly of the plastic and chemicals that they used to make it. I usually wouldn't complain of something new smelling new but it's really bad. I've washed the bag twice in baking soda and then with a smell neutralizer laundry soap and I'm currently sun drying the bag trying to cut some of the smell out. There would be no way I would be able to use this for hunting with its current smell. Just want to give anyone a heads up that you will probably want to air the bag for a few days before actually using it or all of your items will smell like the bag.Update after using the bag...So I used the bag a few times. Each time I carried the bag about 7 hrs a day in woods that weren't so easy to navigate. I carried a 3L water bladder in the main compartment since it wouldn't fit in the velcro pocket pouch (located on the very back of the bag, just under the shoulder straps) that I think they intended to be used for water bladders of 2L. The longer I carried the bag the more I noticed how narrow the straps were placed, and it was beginning to cause my neck to ache which gave me sore shoulders the next day. My hiking bag has wider strap placement and is more comfortable to carry for longer periods of time.Now to the waist belt and other "cinching" straps. The design of the (tai-glide slides) plastic devise that is meant to keep the tension on the straps doesn't have any bite or abrasiveness to keep the straps from slipping loose while under pressure. I cinched the hip belt tight around my waist to take some of the weight off my shoulders. As I would walk it would loosen up. After it actually came undone completely my husband fixed it by looping the strap back though (forward and then reversed it back in) the "Tri-glides Slides" (the D ring looking part that doesn't have the buckle part) and this made it stay put. Before he did the I was contemplating how I was going to replace them all with new ones that were better with "teeth" for grip. So at this point it doesn't look like I will have to replace them. I did buy seatbelt cover pads for added cushion for the straps and hip belt area. I think that will help for the days when I'll be hiking with bag most of the day.My overall experience with the bag is good. I think that you get what you pay for and this bag being under $40 is worth that to me. If it were in the $60+ range I would have returned it due to the lack of comfort and design issues. Overall it's a great bag for light duty use.

I have it for 2 years so far and really satisfied with the quality. Indeed, it's not huge, but I carry my laptop, water bottle, few notebooks and textbooks, and other school staff. So it is an ideal for going to college/university or some trip to see historical sites and/or a little weekend trip.

This assault pack is excellent. I am using it as my everyday carry get home bag.I like the compartmentalization of the pack, as this setup lets me stay very well organized. The extensive MOLLE webbing is really helpful for hanging gear off the outside of the pack, and could be used to strap on external pouches for added space. The pockets inside the compartments add great utility for storing small equipment and pens and pencils without them being lost. It is not excessively large, being only roughly 18-19 inches high, about 8 inches across, and expands out to be about 8 inches front to back. It serves well as my get home bag, or day assault pack. I would not think that this would be suitable as a 72 hour kit, as it is far too small, but if you're looking for a tactical EDC, this is likely a good pick for you.It seems quite well made, with lots of double stitching. There are some sections have that rubberized, waterproof material lining the inside, but this material isn't found everywhere, so it will not be strictly waterproof. The straps are thick and well padded, comfortable for extended walks. The waist belt sits quite high up, and doesn't really allow for weight transfer to the hips for someone my height, and I'm not excessively tall. The zippers appear to be tough and heavy duty. The nylon that forms the pack is thick, tough, and I suspect will withstand some abuse.I recommend this bag. It likely isn't built to the standard of a Maxpedition or 5.11, but I think for the average user, it will stand up to a few years of use with no major issues. It is also important to remember that it is roughly 1/3 to 1/4 the price of comparable bags from Maxpedition or 5.11. If you're in the market for a reliable tactical assault pack, and you don't want to break the bank, I would suggest you give this pack a try!This picture shows my pack loaded, with some paracord bracelets, and a pair of Condor Hard Knuckle Tactical Gloves hanging off of carabiners clipped on the MOLLE webbing.The

Such a great bag for the price! Zippers, pockets, and molle webbing are all good stuff. more molle on the sides could be great, but I can't really complain. The bag is a tiny bit smaller than expected, but once it's full you'l realise there's plenty of space for a LOT of things, and if you really need for more, you can still customize it with some of so many molle pouches availlable!My only small complain would be the shoulder and waist straps, especially the waist: If your bag is heavily fulled, they might not give enough you support and weight balance... Anyway, this problem can be solved with better straps, so I still give it a 5 stars.Overall, the bag is awesome and sturdy. I really like the classic US Navy style camo, I feel confident with this thing and I can't wait to bring it on the field test!

It only holds 20 liters of volume, but for a daypack, that is plenty. Plus, it's expandable. I like the way it is divided into several large, medium and small compartments, each with subpockets and holders. It allows for organization of my gear. That way I can find it quickly when I need it. The stitching is solid and the material is tough. A large water bladder pocket holds up to a three liter bag and the molle compatible straps all over it make it expandable. One can easily fit a molle compatible knife sheath, expansion pouches and/or one or two water bottle carriers. For day hikes where you won't need to carry much gear with you, and for hunting, it is an excellent pack. Its only negative (in my opinion) is that its waterproofing is inside. I wish it had a pouch to carry an external waterproof cover, as do many packs of less tactical design, but I also understand that such covers can be grabbed and ripped by brush and make it less handy to get into the pack, so it's comme-ci, comme-ca, as they say.It's a bit small if you'll be hunting or hiking in conditions where you have to carry several changes of clothes (like here in east Canada where the whether can change wildly in the course of a day). Still, I find it it excellent for its purposes. I like the design so much that I bought Condor's similar and excellent 3 day assault pack for overnighters.

Backpack was smaller than anticipated, but I made it work, and it was worth the compromise. This bag is one tough SOB, it’s a real beauty to own. Plus, the aesthetic of the bag is quite pleasing in my opinion.The MOLLE straps on the sides and front of the backpack can fit MOLLE pouches, for me I have two MOLLE pouches on each side of the bag, they help with storage space.
