SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Ninja Tactical Daypack Backpack, Desert Clay, One Size

I recently purchased the SOG Medium Size Backpack, and I couldn't be more impressed! This backpack is the perfect combination of rugged durability and practical design, making it an excellent choice for daily use, hiking, or travel. First off, the build quality is top-notch. The materials used feel extremely sturdy and are clearly designed to withstand the elements. Whether you’re out in the rain or braving tough trails, this backpack holds up well. The zippers are smooth and robust, and the stitching is solid, which gives me confidence that this bag will last for years to come. The size is just right – not too big, not too small. It’s perfect for carrying all of my essentials without feeling bulky. I’ve used it for everything from work commutes to weekend hikes, and it fits my laptop, books, water bottle, and snacks comfortably. The main compartment has plenty of space, and the smaller pockets are well-organized, helping me keep my gear neatly packed. The adjustable straps are another highlight. They’re comfortable and provide good support, even when the bag is packed full. Plus, the padded back panel adds extra comfort during longer periods of wear. There’s also a handy chest strap for added stability when you’re on the move. SOG has clearly paid attention to the little things – the high-quality materials, the water-resistant finish, and the ergonomic shape – all come together to create a fantastic backpack that feels tailor-made for anyone who needs a versatile, reliable bag. Most importantly I must say this was a great value. Other bags at this price point done even come close to the quality of this bag. Highly recommended! Update – 6 Months Later: Stitching Issue Between Compartments (Still a Great Bag) After 6 months of regular use, I have unfortunately run into a durability issue. The stitching that connects the front compartment to the main body of the bag has come loose, creating a hole between the two main compartments (photos attached). I have not been rough with the bag, just normal everyday use, so I am disappointed to see this happen on an otherwise excellent product. I have reached out to SOG in hopes they will offer a replacement or repair, and I will update again once I hear back. Still giving 4 stars for now because I really do like the design and functionality of the bag. It just needs to hold up better over time.

I absolutely love this backpack! The SOG Ninja Tactical Day Pack is the perfect size for everything I need — not too big, not too small. At 24 liters it holds my daily essentials, extra gear, and even has space for a hydration bladder when I’m out hiking. The build quality is fantastic: durable fabric, solid stitching, and smooth zippers. I’ve carried it in the city, on trails, and while traveling, and it’s handled everything with ease. The padded straps and ventilated back make it really comfortable to wear all day, even when loaded up. I also appreciate the thoughtful design — multiple compartments to keep gear organized, MOLLE webbing for attachments, and side pockets that actually fit water bottles. The tactical style looks great, but it’s practical too. Overall, this is hands-down one of the best backpacks I’ve owned. Whether you’re using it for everyday carry, hiking, school, or travel, the SOG Ninja delivers way above its price point. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat!

I just bought this bag again to replace the one I bought almost 9 years ago. I carried it to work everyday, packed to the gills. I would still be using it but the zipper on the front compartment finally gave out. This is an excellent bag, well worth the money.

I’ve been using this bag for about 2 weeks now. It’s durable, plenty of space for everything I need to carry with me every day, and helps keep everything organized. The zippers are much better quality than some other versions of this bag I’ve owned by other companies. It’s pretty comfortable to wear and easy enough to adjust. I gave it four stars for one simple reason. It seems like when they designed this bag, they just took the design of a smaller bag and just expanded it in the software and used those measurements to make the larger bag. Which in turn is not necessarily a bad thing. But a pocket that used to easily hold keys is now an oversized bottomless pit. The cup/bottle holder in the side is now larger, which isn’t necessarily an issue. The straps on the other hand, the excess is entirely too long. I was able to take care of that simply by cutting them. Other than that. Great bag. No complaints. Great EDC back or even as an overnight bag or day pack.

Not a huge backpack but impeccable quality. Zippers are awesome, dig the color. For its smaller size, you can fit a fair bit in it. Great for a day hike or something. Straps seem good and I love that its got molle on it for modularity.

I like this daypack a lot. It's lightweight and has good storage for its size. The straps are comfortable and have cushion I've used it a couple of times for hiking and has held up well. The material is strong and durable, in my opinion.

This is a great pack, strong and durable, worth getting

This bag kicks ass, I've taken it with me more or less everywhere for almost a year now and it's taken everything I've put it through incredibly well. Same bag for work, hiking, urbex, mundane travel. Very durable, very comfortable, and given its ample amount of molle webbing it's likely to hold more than you think (as long as you are thinking reasonably.)

Excellent

Good quality backpack for a good price.

Bought this three years ago and it has been a daily backpack. Unfortunately it falls apart. Seams are breaking up making the outer compartment to almost fall off. The zippers are also of poor quality and have broken. Did contact the reseller a month ago and ask for a refund. With the backpack there was a promise of life time guarantee. The reseller have not even mailed back. It looks good and has smart features but the poor quality and lack of contact results in that I do not recommend this product.

The quality appears satisfactory, but the current price point does not align with its perceived value.

This is one of the best budget tactical backpacks available. If you are looking to buy a foreign budget backpack which is strong, comfortable and spacious then this SOG Ninja backpack fits in this package. It's made of a mixture of nylon and polyester and is very rugged and strong. This is a 24L backpack and is perfect as a day pack or a everyday pack. It is works out as a very good get home bag too. It's molle equipped on both sides and the front for added customization. It comes with a water bottle pouch on the side and has velcro patch space in the front on the top and centre for you to add morale patches. The straps are long and comfortable and can be adjusted to almost every body type. It has a top cushioned small compartment for keeping sunglasses. There is one large main compartment in the centre and one big compartment in the front which can be utilized as an admin compartment. There is also one pouch on top of the admin compartment. You have your dedicated compression straps on both sides to adjust the bag as per your gear. There are also drainage holes below the bag. There are also molle below the bag in case you want attach a sleeping bag, trekking pole, tripod stand etc. As a whole it's just perfect for an every day carry bag which will last you a long time.
