I am looking for a nice small pack for day trips and for range duty but don't want the traditional large backpacks that I see so often. My ideal pack is the Kodiak Gear Slinger by maxpedition but they are to expensive for what I am looking for. Does anyone know a cheaper version of that pack? I would be happy with a Condor style knockoff or something comparable that is around the same size and has the pocket for a water bottle. Also, something not overly tactical looking would be a huge plus. I appreciate any packs you may suggest!
Thanks |
I've had this one for a little over a year. Mine is black. I use it for overnight trips and for dragging stuff to the range. It will hold a ton of stuff and has multiple compartments that actually are useful.  I bought it at Dick's (I know I know....this was before their shenanigans) for about $70. |

Can you post up a pic of the back padding? |

Tactical Tailor has their Removable Operator Pack in Foliage Green right now for $47 (plus s/h). That's half off retail on that bag.
Foliage Green is really grey-ish in color. I don't think your average person would consider it to be a 'tactical' looking backpack in that color.. I have the 500D Cordura version in multicam and I love it.

http://www.tacticaltailor.com/removableoperatorpack.aspx This was gonna be my suggestion. |
Here is a pic of that Tactical Tailor ROP in Foliage Green so you can see what it looks like in this color. To me, the lighting is off in this photo. I think they look more grey in person.
A Mil-Spec Monkey Patch Panel (in FG) will cover right over the area of PALS webbing on the back if you wanted to do that.. NOTE: This is not my pack. I cropped this photo down in size, and re-uploaded it back to the web. PS - I can remove this pic should anyone object. Just sayin'..

Get this:http://www.supplycaptain.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=621&ParentCat=66, and dye it black with Rit dye. Add-on with black pouches as desired. Bottom has PALS webbing, and will accept a USGI waist-pack.
Exceptional quality. I bought one, and it's a GREAT little pack all by itself. the price is stupid low for what you get. disclaimer: no financial interest. |

Vendor knows, but isn't saying. Definitely GTG as far as I'm concerned, and I bought one.. YMMV. |

All that I seen on GGG is the outside. I want a bag that can be a trunk bag as well as a one day trail bag. I hate using big packs when all I need is a minimal setup and I want American made so Maxpedition is out. |

Someone posted pics of the newly revised interior of the GGG Stealth Operator Pack, but I can't find them. You can however see the new interior in this video by some French Gun Blog.. [Inside the main compartment (mounted on one side) you have two M4 sized mag pouches with velcro closure flaps, and a large zippered mesh pocket that goes the width of the bag just below them..] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1A0q2zvttQ#at=28 |
