The color of the bag is khaki, but with quite a greenish hue, making it less attractive than other non-maxpedition bags that I own in khaki. Most khaki bags are more brown than olive. The only actual problem i have is that it seriously needs a carry handle like most other maxpedition bags. Otherwise it's as bomb-proof as anything they make and I suspect it will last just as long under rough conditions. I'm using it as a manly diaper bag so I suspect I'll hand it down to my kids when they have their own.
