I did look at the GoRuck GR1 nice pack but the $300 is kind of a lot. Also saw this pack by Direct Action called the Ghost looks nice. I did check out the London Bridge Trading Company 3 day pack sale must be gone because they where around $191 when I looked at them they look nice just wish they had more photos of the pack. I also looked at a few of the packs from BDS the 378 and there 72 hour pack.
So far I like the Ghost and read a lot of good reviews on it also like how I was told it also comes in Kryptek Highland have not seem any reviews on BDS 387 but also comes in Kryptek Highland also also made in the USA and lifetime warranty does not hurt. Edited to add what I have looked at so far. |

You had a Maxpedition that lasted 12 years....why not get another one?
If you don't like the Vulture II, how about: Zafar Internal Frame Backpack Xantha Internal Frame Backpack I have the Zantha and love it. However it might be a little big for a 3 day. |

What I don't like about the vulture ( notice I did not say II I have one of the OG packs.) is that there hydration bladder area is right in your back mine is very uncomfortable. The newer one has the pouch in the same place and since I have not held or seen the new one I'm not going to buy it just to find out I have the same problem as my old one. I also looked at may of there other packs like them but they all have the same problem to me hydration bladder in your back. |

I'm digging my slumberjack strider. It's not a true three day pack as it's around the 1800ci mark iirc. But it's plenty big for 1-2+ days right now. Not so much in winter.

Fabric is 500d pu/dwr backed ..zippers are large #10 iirc ykks. Bladder wise there's a sleeve but no hangers for the bladder on mine. So I shoved it in the sleeve for the frame sheet. Works better that way on the pack I have. Hardware is all ju iirc. To be honest it's bigger than I thought. I wanted something a tad bigger than my cbak mule. Its more the size of a hawg but bigger. Like u I was Leary....once price was dropped sub 50$ I jumped...but I agree more info on specs would be nice. |

I just "borrow" some ribbon from my wife's crafting stash and add hangers to packs that don't have them. It's really easy:

Still like that Direct action Ghost pack seems like a good company to deal with! Link to Ghost pack |

Mystery Ranch 3DAP is the end all be all of packs in this category. LBT, Eagle, THE Pack, civvie packs, Not even close especially with the belt upgrade. Maybe a Kifaru X-Ray might come close.

Also the hard to swallow $325 price right now that is my top pick but I can afford that right now maybe in a few months if I land a better job! |

How big? "3 day" size? Look at a Kelty Redwing of whatever size and color you like. Very comfortable with a small internal frame. Every Kelty pack I have had is high quality. I have the old model Redwing which is 20ish years old, and a new model which I really like. If you watch sales, or surf the internet you should be able to find them for at or just under $100... This is the only picture I have of my new one: 
My old one, it was my first internal frame. My father got it for me when I was 12 or 13. 
The interior water proofing started to delaminate a bit a few years ago, a couple of the tie out points started to weather check and crack so while searching for a new Kelty of similar size I found some posts about their lifetime warranty. So I called them told them about my old pack that I used for decades... They said they can't fix the waterproofing issue as it has more then lived its life but they can try to fix the tie outs. At that point they gave me a 50% off coupon and free shipping for any pack on their website. I used that to order myself a new Redwing which has been a really good pack. I shipped them my Old Redwing, which was returned to me a few weeks later with fresh lashing points sewn on it. I have since got a Coyote, and a Cache Hauler. My EDC pack is a Kelty Windjammer... Many of my current packs have been discontinued so I am glad I got them while I could After being treated so well by a company, that provided me with exceptional customer service, I would buy any of their products without hesitation. Any ways I have enough packs to last the rest of my life at this point...
I see a couple others mentioned slumberjack... I do have their frame hauler which I think they call "rail hauler" and it is a quality bit of gear. I can't speak for their other packs but the one I do have from slumberjack is good to go. |

I really like my Kelty MAP3500. It has two sleeves for bladders (although I think one is actually meant for a radio).
Available in many tactical and non-tactical colors. |

Don't know if Camelbak is still making this model. Its been going strong since 04' and does hold a 100oz bladder. Its been on every deployment since then and when I was and Robin Sage instructor. Have a smaller one for hunting. On avg. its gets used for 7-14 days a month since then. Just came back from another 10 day mission in northern Iraq. This is an older picture of it in Astan in 11'. These are built tough!

Like to know more about that pack! How long have you had it? How much weight have you had in it? What do you like about it and what would you change about it if you could? |
