3 DAY ASSAULT PACK

lets get one thing straight.. i am not an elitist gear-snob. I own many condor products few have failed to meet my expectations. However, this bag is ultimately crap. rather than just make sweeping statements ill break down what i consider the pros and cons and let you come to the same conclusions.The Pros:Price. you cant beat the price. 5/5Color. various colors available although the price point will suffer if you want a premium pattern negating the price advantage 5/5Molle compatable 2/5 while it does have MOLLE i find it is rather sparse and unusable for a bag of this size.removable waist belt. 3/5 the waist belt is corny but can be removed. a feature i appreciate.space and pockets 3/5 i think the overall layout of this bag is fairly well done. its got lots of space. strap options, and various mesh pouches. in my mind simply adding pockets for the sake of adding pockets doesnt make a pack awesome. especially when its apparent the sizes of pockets arent really made to hold something specific. say an AR mag, or a tactical light, or guaze. but if you want to carry like a thousand bic pens then maybe this is for you. however, they are there if you can think of some way to use them.Adjustability 5/5 condor nailed this. im 5'8" and 155 lbs i have huge hurdles when finding bags that will size down for my slightly smaller than average height and athletic build. not only does this pack sinch up everywhere i want it to for my size i am confident it would fit my skinny girlfriend or linebacker best friend. all packs should adjust as much as this one does.now the cons: while they are few they are gamechangersconstruction 1/5. this feels like a cheap knock off in every way. the cordura is not thick. i am not even sure its cordura, its thin and in my opinion easily torn. the buckles are not typical condor quality and i feel like if i were to use this pack i would have to replace them or upgrade them from the beginning. the mesh pouches in the main compartment are actually pretty cool, but the mesh of my laundry bag is obviously stronger. these would tear undoubtedly. the straps are thinner and not out of a very robust material however they are acceptable for a bag of this price point. the stitching is incredibly poor. especially where the belt meets the pack. this is a critical area and would not last more than one or two hours of heavy use.for this one reason i must absolutely fail this bag, while i wanted to like it and i really liked the price, i wouldn't recommend it to a friend, and honestly cant say that i would wear it myself. i read so many raving reviews how could i go wrong? i own condors standard assault pack and love it. but the 3 day feels like a toy for dress up. not a serious pack.

I bought this bag to use as my personal bag on my ambulance, to keep my extra clothes, cell phone charger, snacks, and other necessities for the day. I was initially pleased with its large size, the many compartments, and it's apparent durability. However, after a couple months of light to moderate use where the bag mostly sat on the ambulance with a light load without much use, the first zipper on the main compartment fell off. This happened because the zipper teeth were pulling away from the canvas end of the zipper (which had ripped out due to faulty stitching) that would prevent the zipper from exiting the row of teeth. (See my photograph to understand what I'm trying to say here!) Several months later, the second zipper was snagged off, pulling the zipper teeth out like a slinky and preventing repair. I am not pleased at all with how easily this broke considering how good it was treated and how little it was used. Now I just have a useless $80 canvas heap that I can't use as a bag because the main compartment will not zipper shut.

I like the pack but ultimately returned it. ITs huge and could fit everything! I'm sure it wasn't a knock off but there were no labels interior or exterior to assure me I am getting the expensive pack I am paying for. the Rush had a ton of labels and tags and a patch stitched on the lower right side. I know it sounds like a line from Tommy Boy "that I like nice labels on the box" but if you are shelling out 100 clams Plus know what you are getting. the interior liner of the pack is this thin light grey material that feels like a pen or pencil will go through it in just a few hours of wear. it actually has the condor logo pattern on the grey material but that is the only thing that kind of confirms the pack is from condor. I ordered 2 ultimately and the 2nd came with different designed "condor" tags so be careful you don't get a fake. I did a side by side of the rush72 and ultimately went with the Rush for $40-50 more but had high hopes for the reviews and size of the condor just didn't do it for me.

Bought this back in 2014. Thought it was great, until....Update 2018: I bought a bunch of bug-out equipment and filled this backpack with it. I hadn't even gone camping or taking it out much, and 2 of the zippers on the inside of the pack had popped completely off. I thought okay, they were just the small zippers. But then the zippers on the outside had also given way too!I don't recommend this.

I've been using this big in Afghanistan for the past 7 months. I give this bag 4 stars and here's why.Pros: Great quality build with quality material. I have not had one tear or rip in the fabric. The grab handles on the top and sides prove very applicable if you have to grab the bag and move out quickly. The side pockets are large enough to hold a large Nalgene bottle and the bottom pouch is large enough for any accessories you take with you.There are plenty of pouches and room for me to keep everything I need for a 4-day trip, to include the Laptop computer I put in the main compartment. I am extremely pleased with this bag and expect it to last me years, even after this rotation to the 'StanCons: The pull-tabs on the zippers break off. Easy enough to fix with some 550 cord or any other type of cord. Here's the reason I removed one star. The flap that covers the zippers for protection always, and I mean always gets in the way of the zipper and gets caught up in the zipper when I'm in a hurry. It is almost impossible to zip this thing up in a hurry. The design of the zipper flap sucks and is more of an irritation of mine than it is prohibiting the function of the bag.
