RUPUMPACK Military Tactical Backpack Army MOLLE Hydration Bag Rucksack Outdoor Hiking School Daypack 33L

In October 2020, I bought this pack in lieu of buying a weight vest. This was during the peak of COVID. I couldn’t find a weight vest at a reasonable price and I had some old weight plates lying around so I improvised. This use case is clearly not what the pack was designed for, but I figured for the price, why not give it a shot. I have had the pack for 19 months and used it 3-5 times per week. In addition to carrying a first aid kit, binoculars, frisbee, water, food, etc., the pack has consistently been loaded with an additional 40-60 lbs of old school weight plates (see photo).I’m happy to say that the pack has held up extremely well to a punishing life. However, all good things must come to an end. The eventual stress finally popped a zipper. Other than that, the pack is still in great shape. If this pack can hold up to what I put it through, it will definitely serve others with a typical use quite well.

I was served in the Military as a long range shooter in special teams. I say that because I've always put my rucksacks to the extreme.I bought this for a 3 week hiking trip in Costa Rica. I actually used it as a carry on as well. The MOLLE / PALS and the rear loading straps are very secure and I did and still put then to the test. I have bought additional attachments and switch them out as I need. I've carried a lot of weight and a lot of gear in this, pushing the zipper strength and the durability to the maximum.I still use this on weekends for hiking, as well as weekdays for work. It collapses down to as thin as I need, holding my laptop securely with an inside elastic strap, while enough compartments to keep my wiring, my tools and network testing equipment securely and easily accessible.The compartment that holds the camelback is exceptional. It keeps your water cold for a lot longer then the suggested 4 hrs. It is extremely accessible, as the zipper makes the accessibility to it very open. I've honestly used this area frequently as a cooler, storing food and cold drinks, as long as you keep them stored evenly, you don't feel them inside.I also use this to take my handgun and ammo to the range. It really handles the weight nicely. The padded shoulder straps are really good.I know I mentioned it, but it has an enormous amount of attachment capabilities, the straps are solid and I've accidentally picked it up by an attachment or one of the straps, when it is fully loaded down. They still continue to hold up very well. I did use large zip ties to a few attachments, because where I was going, I couldn't afford to lose it where some attachments I've used the manufacturers of that products, strap with a snap. When it was weighted down, the only thing that's happened when I've grabbed it by the attachment, is the attachment snap popped off. That has nothing to do with this backpack, except to show the backpacks MOLLE/PALS are very solid and do not come off or rip.My only con is, I mistakenly ordered 2 black backpacks, and I meant to order 1 black and 1 tan. But that con is 100% on me. The irony is, I liked it immediately, so since some reviews talked bad about quality long term, I thought for the inexpensive price, I'll save the other one still in the packaging, in case this gets messed up during my hiking and camping in the Jungles of Costa Rica.I still have the 2nd new one and it's still unopened, just collecting dust.I'm assuming I'm past my window of exchanging the 2nd one for tan, so I just need to order a tan one, because I already bought tan accessories as well.The point to that story was to reinforce, how much I'm impressed with this purchase.* I would highly recommend this!

Compact and can hold a lot of things you need to go camping, school or work

Amazing deal! Solid construction! Has plenty of space and pockets for organization. Molle system to add extra features! This pack is 100% worth it!

Great backpack

I have had this for a couple weeks now and I bought it primarily to ruck as another source of exercise. I have 40lbs worth of plates wrapped in a towel. After multiple trips the bag is holding up well.

Worth the buy

Difficult to insert the bladder.

Let me start off by saying what a great backpack for the price. I purchased this as I intend to make a bug out bag for a laugh more than anything but looked through the available backpacks on Amazon and this one stood out. When I opened the box I was kind of disappointed at the size, I was expecting this to be a little bigger. However as I opened it up to look inside I realised this thing is like the tardis and an accordion's had a love child. It expands outwards significantly allowing for a serious amount of kit to be added it.The build quality is very good indeed, I have tested the stitching by tugging on the straps, webbing/pockets inside and it is all very strong and well stitched together. The material is tough and looks like it can take a beating and should hold out light rain no problem at all. I wouldn't want to get caught in a rain storm with it but you can say that for most backpacks without a rain cover. The padding on the shoulder and waist straps make it comfortable to wear. There are MOLLE straps and compartments all over the backpack which is great. The only 3 very minor points I can find so far are that the top handle has no padding so if you are carrying this by the handle and not over your shoulders it may get uncomfortable very fast. The other is that the stitching is a but sloppy where hanging threads are concerned. This does not effect the quality of the stitching I just had to cut the hanging bits off. The last is the plastic D rings on the front straps for hanging things off. Im going to cut these off and spend the relevant £1.50 to purchase some replacement metal ones.All in all very pleased.

So I previously had a Mil-Tec (I believe 50L) and thought I'd try out this new bag.. I think the Mil-Tec brand is German whilst this pack is made in China. The Mil-Tec bag is bomb proof after 2 years of purchase. However, whilst first impressions of this bag are favorable I don't believe it is of the same build quality as the Mil-Tec brand. What is good about the bag are its extra features. It has a built in waist band with pockets (and a useful space area behind). It has a hydration bladder pocket that is insulated which is big enough to store food and keep cool. It has extra webbing on top so roll mats / sleeping bags can be attached. My only gripe is it doesn't have the same build quality as the Mil-Tec such as the zips, waterproof lining, inside pocket in main compartment and the side only has two sets of Molle webbing rather than three. If the Chinese manufacturers could sort this then in terms of design I think they would be onto a winner!

I researched every Military Backpack with all the attendant capacities and features and settled on this Rupumpack 35 Litre capacity backpack. It is not only perfectly functional it is also very smart looking and well made. In short, this is a lovely Military Backpack with extremely well designed compartments, soft and sturdy waist band and chest band and all pockets very well proportioned so I can carry a Tactical Helmet & Face Guard, Military Gloves, Headscarf, GoPro, Tablet, Charger, Mobile and all the accessories needed for a weekend trip. It is very well made and very strong and the inside lined sleeve that contains my water bladder is excellent and keeps the bag cool due to its built-in thermal insulation. I really cannot recommend this backpack highly enough. It is a Military Grade Molle System so you can hang whatever you like by clasps and expand its carrying capacity greatly. Furthermore, the straps all weave through the compartment exteriors so you can tighten or loosen them to ensure the compartments contents are snugly held and do not slither about as you walk. Exceptional Military Backpack I really highly recommend.

Great bag for many uses from going to work to getting the shopping in.I read so many horror stories about bags like this design but the only thing I changed was the string pulls on the zippers as after only a few times they kept falling off.I was actually amazed at just how much I could actually get in the bag and how light weight it feels on when full from the waste strap makes this bag second to none in the price bracket.

Not bad for a very cheap bag, but you pay for you get I suppose.This bag is a really cheap budget bag for £30, I use it for my tabbing runs carrying 25kg. The bag holds the weight but only just, parts of the bag have already started to give way especially on the top straps.If you want a bag to carry light items under 10kg this will be fine, anymore the you need to buy a proper bag for £100.This bag has already ripped at the straps
