If every company behaved like Maxpedition, this forum would probably be fine. There might be a bit more variety in bags that people carry, if anything. You need a better bag, though, Max.
Rothco makes some c heap canvas bags. I got three different bags for a total of $50.00. Now each of my family has one. Except me of course I am always the last to get something for myself. I always end up feeling guilty so I have not gotten anything for myself in a good while. No biggie though cause I enjoy doing for my family!
My Eagle Industries Crossover pack is a pos! It quite literally came apart at the seams where the back attaches to the straps! Need another bag now. Oh well........
