TT ACU vs Eagle A3 Multicam
 The Tactical Tailor 3day pack photos on the first page are old, although that's still what's shown on their website. There is more rows of molle webbing on the sides, and that side webbing and the rear outer webbing have their channels sewn much closer together instead of so wide like before. |

BeckettOfNevada- Hows that thing ride? The pic on the website showed it low, that seems uncomfortable. Hows your experience with the no padding straps?

Considering the spec ops "the pack" in acu or the eagle a111 molle in multicam.
I've been thinking of the spec ops for a long time but not certain about the straps after reading the posts about it here. It would be the 1st assult size military pack I've had though so not certain what to look for exactly. they each seem to be quality packs overall though. |

My first reaction was the same. I have a feeling that the Kelty pack isn't nearly as rigid/stiff (material wise) as the BHI pack. To me BHI stuff, when it's new, seems like starched cardboard... and don't brush up against it, you'll get "rug" burns.
Can't say for sure though. BHI's pack: - $199.99 - Includes 100 oz HydraStorm® Hydration System ($27.95 value) - 1000 denier NyTaneon and Mil Spec webbing - ?,??? cubic in. volume - Dimensions: 21” H x 14” W x 7.75” D - Wt: 4.20 lbs - 3 color choices Kelty: - $134.95 - No hydration system - 1000 denier Kodra construction, double stitched - 3,500 cubic in. volume - Dimensions: 21 H x 14 W x 11 D - Wt: 4 lbs - 5 color choices

At your Request:
Some things to keep in mind: Every pound adds up, just as fast as every ounce does... You will feel it. Once Im happy with a piece of gear I remove things I dont use or need. (i.e. tags, excess straps) When you start adding the pouches and piggy-back packs Your adding more pounds and ounces. So youll better serve yourself by starting off light. The pointman is the lightest for the capacity. You can weigh everything you have individually, then pack it in two packs then weigh them individually. It will add up to more when weighed as a whole. Then weigh both packs and it will weigh more. Funny how it works, but it happens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACK--------VOL.----------WT.---------------ACCESS---------------Accepts cargo chair EMR -------- 7,500 c.i. ----- 8 lbs.---------top/ bottom/ sides/ radio------------------ yes MMR-------- 4,300 c.i.------ 7 lbs. 4 oz.---top/ bottom/ sides/ radio------------------ yes Navigator---- 4,000 c.i.----- 6 lbs. 5 oz.--- panel/ radio/ bottom ---------------------- yes Pointman---- 3,000 c.i.------ 4 lbs. 15 oz.-- top/ bottom/ radio------------------------ yes |

Here's a photo that I took of my Tactical Tailor 3-Day Assault Pack this morning.
  I have removed the metal zipper pulls and replaced them with 550 paracord. The left side of webbing holds a MaxPedition M-2, and the rear webbing holds a TT three-magazine panel. I use this pack for running and range duty. I recently used it to carry all of my needed gear for a week of carbine operator training, and it was very convenient. I got it for $68 during the sale last month. |

You can remove the waistbelt by running web material back through slides attached to bag along the bottom corners. I tried my pack with and without the belt a prefer it without. I hope this helps.

Great thread....
I was a little confused as to what size was considered a "3 day pack" Apparently backpackers need a lot more crap for 3 days than most .mil people considering the size of most packs presented here. From Backpacker.com 2,500 to 3,000 cubic inches. This size works as a high-volume daypack or an ultralight overnight bag. These packs will hold a light sleeping bag and the minimum of camp essentials (light stove, pot, small tent) for short, warm-weather trips. 3,000 to 4,500 cubic inches. You'll find this size ideal for three-season weekend trips. They'll hold all the camp essentials as well as some warm clothes and enough food for a couple of days. 4,500 to 6,000 cubic inches. This size is the mainstay among the backpacking community. Perfect for long weekends or weeklong outings. These packs comfortably hold all the essentials, additional warm clothes, plus any extra camp comforts you might want to bring along. 6,000-plus cubic inches. Whether planning a month-long expedition or just a week of snowshoeing, you'll need this size to swallow all the extra gear and clothing for the adventure. They're also useful for folks who end up with the bulk of their family's communal gear (e.g., tent, stoves, food) during family trips. |

Thanks Pathfinder. Agreed on#2, more specifcs are needed. I guess I was trying to get a sense of general loads and packing methods. Think of #2 as a more specific of #1 that might include examples of current loadouts used by members. |

Here's a pic of the Kifaru E&E (and my backside).  They are great folks to deal with and after a minor glitch on their part, .......they made things better and sent me a few free items that I simply inquired about  . Excellent Customer Service, willing to make things right and direct contact from the owner was Above and Beyond what I call "Service". Their products are heavy duty, quality gear and made in the USA

Can anyone give a good apples-to-apples comparison of the Eagle AIII and the Tactical Tailor 3 Day packs (current TT sale notwithstanding, i.e. if price weren't an issue)?
I think I have narrowed it dow to these two (and possibly the Camelbak BFM.) Basically I am looking for a pack that can use a framesheet, hydration compatible, waistbelt, molle webbing a bonus, and has a way to mount a sleeping pack/stuff bag to the outside (for carrying spare jackets and the like). I am pretty much sold on the TT pack EXCEPT that I don't see an easy way to mount a stuff sack or butt pack directly to the pack. Am I missing something? Amusingly, I have a Jansport backpak that is pretty much the forerunner of the 3 day pack, except that it has 3 top zip compartments and 2 smaller zippered compartments and is dark blue. I used all through college and currently use for hiking with the g/f...We pack some spare layers of clothing, water bottles, etc in it. The only problems I have had is that it was made long before contoured straps (amrs can get numb with heavy loads over long distances), it is not bladder compatible, and needs a framesheet when it has 2-3 layers of soft clothing in it (rides low and funny). Hell, maybe I should just send it to TT for the pack strap mods!

I've used the Eagle and own a TT. Essentially the same pack, though the fit and finish on the TT is way better and for me the adjustments actually stayed adjusted vs. the Eagle. There are no straps on the bottom of the TT to mount a compression sack but there is a piece of webbing that has 4 loops in it, I got two pieces of strapping and put it through to get it to attach. Looks kinda rigged but it survived 200+ miles of hiking, trips through 4 european airports + checked baggage. I still want to get something sewed on for piece of mind. If those straps are a must have I'd go with the Eagle. |

LOL, well prety much the stuff sack would be for stowing a spare jacket and sweater, not lugging a sleeping bag 200 miles. Sounds like the TT will be more than suffiecient.
