Tru-SpecElite 3 Day Backpack

My highschool son participates in JROTC and has to carry many things in his backpack. The backpack has to be rugged, ergonomically sound as much as a backpack can be, and hold alot. So far, this has fit the bill! Though it is technically not a school backpack, if it can survive a high school boy who plays sports and participateson JROYX

The pack is truly a milspec design. Heavy materials and stitching make it a great choice for most applications. The straps, pockets and zippers are designed and placed suitably well for ease of use and access. Get one!!

Got this bag for ALC so far it’s is holding up great mind you I have only been using it for a month est.

Sturdy backpack with large pockets. Exactly what I was looking for.

Made in America Prices but the quality falls short of that. Stitching is ripping with use and the zippers keep failing with use. I wish I knew this before I purchased, would not recommend this bag.

Great bag, lots of space and sections. It is a bit heavy - it's great as a travel backpack, but I recommend something a bit lighter for a daily commuter bag. This has become my go to bag for short trips (1-4 nights).UPDATED REVIEW, YEAR 3.----I'm still happy with this bag but I will highlight some of the places it has broken down. I use this bag almost every single day. The zipper pulls (not the zippers themselves) came off on several of the zippers after only a couple months. They are somewhere in the bottom of my bag but there is no simple way to get them back on that stays. Maybe I should try hot glue.The "water bottle" side pockets are still holding together but the elastic at the top is breaking away from the pocket on both sides but not enough to cause items to come out or loose.Other than those two items, the bag has held up in all of my travels. I wish it was a little bit lighter but it is very solid.

Backpack is very comfortable and I travel a lot. Very durable and plenty of storage. Really enjoy concealed carry pocket. Thanks.

Lots of space and it works well for everyday carry for first responders/ military

Malgré son côté tactique très appréciable et ses 36L, personne ne remarque ce sac à dos (modèle noir), et c'est exactement ce que je voulais. Je précise que mon ordinateur de 17 pouces entre dans le compartiment principal sans problème dans sa pochette, par contre il n'y a pas de compartiment spécifiquement dédié à l'ordinateur, contrairement à ce qui est écrit dans la description !Il peut faire un très bon EDC, un sac d'école ou un sac pour un court voyage, à votre guise. Je trouve très sympa qu'ils aient intégré une housse de pluie dans le bas du sac (fixée par un élastique en plus). Niveau confort, j'aurais aimé que la ceinture soit matelassée, ç'aurait été vraiment parfait, mais le sac est déjà confortable tel quel (surtout les bretelles). Le dos aurait gagné à être plus épais au niveau du matelassage pour une meilleure aération, mais rien de dramatique. Rien à voir avec un sac à dos avec dos en tissu plein. Dans les commentaires, j'ai lu pas mal de critiques portant sur les fermetures éclair : je n'ai pas encore eu à m'en plaindre après plusieurs semaines d'utilisation régulière. Idem, les filets sur les côtés (et les filets des poches internes) sont apparemment bien solides et épais, mais j'ai l'impression que le modèle a un peu changé car sur le site internet de Tru-spec les filets ont l'air nettement plus fins et fragiles...En résumé, un bon sac à dos très polyvalent, robuste et discret si vous évitez les tons "militaires" olive/kaki. Je le recommande.

This bag is my go to, I use it every day, even grocery shopping as there are no more plastic bags where I live. I’ve had a year to wear it around the world and it hasn’t let me down.I’ve used the conceal carry pocket for my glock 19 which fit nicely. I used it for school and travel and a day pack. My nalgene fits nicely in the water bottle/utility pocket. It is durable and haven’t had issues.3 critiques: there is nothing to hook the rain cover on to on the top of the bag besides the carry handle which leaves 2 inches of the top exposed. This was an issue only in very heavy tropical rains. It is so close to covering the whole bag it was a bit disappointing when full coverage was actually needed. Light rain and it isn’t a big deal though.The other critique is the shoulder straps are sewn right next to each other at the top of the bag. This means if you like tight shoulder straps, the shoulder straps will tend to pinch around you neck, and will chaff if you are running or walking for a long time.Last, I really had to do some serious strap management with this thing when I first got it but i used some tricks so there are no extra dangly straps so that ended up not being an issue either.Besides those issues I’d call this perfect.

J'ai rien à dire de négatif à vrai dire...Il fait vraiment TOUT, j'ai pu faire de la randonnée, du vélo, des départs en week-end sans m'encombrer, j'ai même pris ce sac pour travailler dans la graisse et la chaleur, le froid, la grêle, la pluie, il a été lancé à plus de 10 mètres du sol sans qu'il s'arrache ou même que quelque chose casse ! VRAIMENT, c'est que du bonheur ! Alors voilà. :)
