Camelbak makes some large 3-day packs, I have one that lasted a deployment with shit tons of weight in it. I am sure the LBT bag would ast a long time as well
|
|
I can't defend that pack.
But I have spent as much or more on similar sized packs from good names. Kifaru and Mystery Ranch come to mind. After owning and using good packs, (as in actually using a pack, not hauling stuff to the range and up from mom's basement) a good pack is worth it's weight in gold. Rucking 60+ lbs through the mountains for several days you will appreciate it. But that pack is not a 'pack'. More mursy. |

I am a confirmed gear whore...and I could see myself paying 600 bucks for a state-of-the-art, Cuben fiber, carbon fiber, internal framed, miracle of modern engineering.
9.9 times out of 10, you get what you pay for. But I don't see where that pack is any better than a Maxpedition or similar. |
|
What comes inside the bag to make it $500+ ?
Better have a bunch of dikfurs and bullets and meds for that price. No thanks. |
|
all from the same Chinese sweatshop, just rebranded 100 different labels.

Tell me why that isn't a $200 pack. It looks no much different than the $200 pack I just got from them on sale for $60 delivered. It is a nice pack. But I would not spend more than what I paid. |

Are kidding? You can't see it has Velcro? Velcro and molle is expensive.
|

I can love Alice long time for $550 bucks.
[brand new one's with everything included are $25 around here] |
|
It goes on sale for $89.99 all the time, I have one seems like a heavy duty bag.
|
|
That bag looks very much like my Maxpedition bag...except the Maxpedition cost about half that.
|
|
I have two of that exact same pack. Bought it several years ago. I can't remember what I paid now, but I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near that price. Maybe $150 at the most. |

Nice bag. If you don't have one, you're just not operator as fuck like me. <a href="http://s58.photobucket.com/user/deputythrust/media/Weapons/8DBB44CD-071A-4FDF-B445-1759ED77B5EA_zpspmiikia5.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/deputythrust/Weapons/8DBB44CD-071A-4FDF-B445-1759ED77B5EA_zpspmiikia5.jpg</a> View Quote Is that what those tabs are on the side are for? Attaching shit? How about the ones on the bottom? Also, there awesome (the bag) And here: Retail prices on the site: HERE With the GSA pricing: HERE GSA is down right now, but it's $300 price difference between retail and GSA. |

A 6 pound day pack is not a feat of engineering. |

The only reason people are starting to hear about LBT now is they have been dumping their overruns for cheap. They've been available to/known by the military for ~20 years, and some of their jumpable RTO rucks were the shit. |
|
I paid $90 for mine and it is hands down the best-built bag I have ever owned. $90 was a freakin steal.
|
|
That is the government contract price.
Be patient and you can buy one for $90 |
|
|
|
If don't have one, you don't understand.

My Eberlestock pack was less than that and it holds a rifle and two camelbacks and a ton of other gear.
|
|
I guess it's OK if you want to play Army. There's much better stuff out there for backpacking that is lighter and costs less. |
|
|
I don't know if I can defend that but I have a TAD Gear Fastpack EDC that I paid $300 for and it is worth every penny.

NFW I would pay list price for that. Maybe half price. Be all over it for significantly less than 1/2 price, though.
