I needed a smaller, sturdy backpack for drill weekends that could just hold water bottle, snacks, wet weather gear. This is the perfect size, it's well built, and stupid good price at only $22. I wish it had one velcro strip that was full length for a nametape and didn't have the ranger skull nonsense on the velcro as I don't wear patches other than the nametape on my bag to cover it. Otherwise it's a great, compact bag for carrying the essentials for a drill day. It's not the bag for carrying a full extra uniform + boots, though. At max, I can carry my wet weather top, extra socks, a pouch with batteries+cables, pens/notepad, snacks, a small hygiene kit + baby wipes, and a uniform change and it's very stuffed at that point. Boots are hand carried.
