This is my 3rd Maxepedition product. I have a general purpose bag, a VultureII back pack and now this. I bought this to replace my Camelback. I do more commuting on a bicyle now and also bicycle runs to the store. It is substantially smaller than the big VultureII, which is perfcest for a bicycling/commuting bag. It is very comfortable, has lots of pockets to seperate things, has tons of Molle straps on it for adding everything that you want to and it has the space for the water bladder.

Well, it arrived today, and I was planning on going to the bank and then the grocery store. I bought (2) large containers of Rice Milk, a large container of orange juice, a jar of coconut oil. It all fit perfect in the large area with room to spare. The other 2 compartments were filled with personal stuff, phone, ipod, biking glasses, etc and one filled with bike tools, tubes, flat repair kits.

The cashier actually asked me if I wanted another bag, as she must have been in disbelief that I was going to pack the bag, put in my back and actually ride a bicycle several miles home. Well, I told her if she wanted a killer bag, get a Maxpedition.

So far, the quality of thier products has proven good. This particular bag is going to go through the paces, for hiking, edc, mountian biking, and daily commuting loaded with clothing, books, food, etc.

I got a great deal on Amazon too, paid much less than if I had gone directly to Maxpedition website. I bought mine used, but it looked like new. It must have been a return that they call used. I would highly recommend this bag and looking for a "used" one from Amazon Warehouse.
