I took my Blitz 35 through Turkey, Greece, Italy. Can't complain. It's a very high quality backpack.

[@thepsychdocron7114]

Excellent. Thank you so much. Great review.

[@Feldmutze]

Thanks for watching and glad you liked the review!

[@nikkimontgomery6889]

Very interesting pack! Thanks for the thorough review!

[@Feldmutze]

Glad to hear it, and thanks for watching & commenting!

I bought one (coyote), and it’s a very nice pack. But after a couple of weeks I decided it’s too tacticool 😂 for a edc for me. However it’s an excellent backpack and I recommend it highly. You will need strap keepers ( not included )for housekeeping. I already had some

[@Feldmutze]

I can see that, especially for EDC this pack will stand out a bit. Thanks for mentioning the strap keepers, I've always just wrapped excess straps with electrical tape but that's a much more elegant solution to retaining those.

@@Feldmutze naturally mystery ranch sells them, I had them from when I had a 3dap

[@SebRaubenheimer]

As it's a 3 day assault pack type thing, the waist belt pouches are really meant for little food items, maybe sour patch kids, trail mix or whatever comes in an MRE as patrol fuel. Genuine lifesaver when you're not finding yourself able to stop for a full scran. Or, you could probably cram your phone or GPS in there or something.

[@Feldmutze]

Trail mix would probably fit. The waist belt pouches are really small though, and even some of the snacks in an MRE won't fit into these, and a normal smartphone definitely won't fit.

[@SebRaubenheimer]

I'm a British squaddie, so I straight away thought of British MREs, the snacks come in these little foil packets comparable to skittles packets, but a bit bigger. It's a shame phones wouldn't fit, though, that's more or less the best spot for them! How're you finding the pack a little while on, has it been easy enough to work with the quirks?

[@Feldmutze]

I've been liking the pack a lot. The quirks are there, but they're easy to work around, and even then it's still a remarkably comfortable pack with a lot of good features.

[@user-ej9dz4de3n]

Thanks for the review~ May I ask is the bottom of the pack waterproof ? Like whether would the bag get wet inside when puting it on the raining day floor ?

[@Feldmutze]

Thanks for watching! The bottom of the pack is NOT waterproof. It's somewhat water-resistant similar to the rest of the pack, but it will soak through pretty fast if placed directly in water.

@@FeldmutzeI see … , recently trynna find a trusty backpack that’s around 28l~35 , and since I live in Taiwan which is a rainy country,I would like to have a backpack that can be waterproof to some extent. I would be grateful if I could have the opportunity to have your recommendations for backpack that fit above condition. Would you like to give some of the recommendations? Thank you for the response !

[@user-ej9dz4de3n]

And I my EDc would be laptop ipad and several textbooks …some a college student stuff xd

[@Feldmutze]

I'm not aware of any packs that are fully waterproofed. I use a standalone rain cover for my pack and those work great to keep everything 100% dry when it's rainy.

​@@user-ej9dz4de3nYeti has a fully waterproof Backpack. Dont Know the exact Liter it has but its for daily carry for Electronics Like Laptop, camera, Tablet, etc. Really good quality but expensiv.

[@The_PaleHorseman]

BE AWARE THESE BAGS ARE NOT USA MADE Just got mine and it says on the bag “made in Vietnam” I was under the impression that all their bags were made in the USA and finally get the Blitz 35 and right on the wrapper MADE IN VIETNAM right on the front. Garbage, got a return shipping label and getting my money back. Not spending this kind of money for a Walmart bag

[@SINBREAKER24]

Dude I was thinking the same thing. MR has fallen off and the competition is making better,cheaper,durable bags.

[@The_PaleHorseman]

@@SINBREAKER24 yea, the other thing about them is, the straps feel cheap, like they can snap at any time. I own a blackjack 35 and it’s one of the American made ones but the straps feel really cheap, too thin. I have a flying circle bag that has last over 20 years and 4 combat deployments

4 combat deployments with who…i call bs…
