This bag is great; well made, just the right size, and versatile.  I have been looking for a "do it all bag" for a year now and my browsing kept me coming back to Mepedition and Amazon.  The Condor 2 seemed like the backpack for me.  I took this on two trips since I got it a couple months ago.  The first was a 4 day outdoors adventure including hiking, fishing, ATVing, and shooting.  The other was a day hike up to a National Park cave.  Every time I passed by a group of adventurers, I heard "He's got a great backpack".  This was self assuring that I made a good buy.

I wanted a bulletproof, reliable, comfortable, and adaptable pack.  Sure, some were rated higher in one or maybe two of these categorize by customers and patrons.  But not one bag, even from Maxpedition, could meet all my demands.  And the price, with Amazon beating everyone price (coast + shipping) it was hard to find a reason to buy anything else.  Trust me, I'm finicky when it comes to dropping a bill for a backpack, but I was tired of spending $20 here and $40 there for a bag that I had to replace either because of the functionality or it just didn't last.

The only downside to this bag is that the Maxpedition modular pouches coast so much.  Expect to pay the price of the bag itself if you want to add two extra medium size molle pockets.  I am cheap but still found was of using the molle straps  and Velcro cable tie to secure everything from a survival knife to fishing pools and reels for me and my son.

Using the molle system the Maxpedition Condor 2 pack can be a 3-4 day rucksack.  As is, you can get by with a 2 day supply of food, water (I took a 72 oz water bladder), emergency kit, tools, and a change of clothes if you pack right.  When not used for the outdoors, the pack is great to hold a laptop in the padded water bladder compartment.

I can say so much more about this bag but I'll end hear.  Save yourself time and frustration.  Just buy this from Amazon and call it good for the next few years.  If you're like me, spend some nights researching and I'll bet you'll come to the same conclusion.
