Not going to do a full review, mainly just a picture compilation since there's not too much out here about the pack.

It's really small, and that's particularly the reason I bought it. You could easily navigate small spaces without rubbing/ bumping into anyone or anything. It stores easily anywhere, and empty it weighs less than a maxpedition lunada and can fit taller items like jackets.

Of course with the name being the 'Essential Pack' and all, you need to stress the importance of efficient use of space. I know most of you guys prob wonder what the hell you'd buy a 6L pack for, just think of a decent sized hydration pack with the option to hold other small items. Not much different, really.

The main reason I bought this particular model over all the other similarly sized packs is the front compression straps and absence of front pockets. If need be, I'll buy the Tac 7 pouch to add to the massive amount of molle, which IMO doesn't look half bad. For now, I wanted to attach a jacket (can hold a full sized softshell like my Condor Phantom).

Interior
The inside doesn't hold a crazy amount, but it's absolutely perfect for my EDC- tested daily. I can tell you honestly, it's exceeded my necessity.

There's the hydra compartment and a little port under that doodad strip on top of the pack, as well as a velcro strap on the top interior to secure the hose.
When I take out the thermals (which I can wear) I can fit in my Canon eOS along with everything, but obviously I was taking pics with it.

I carry various pouches with a bunch of crap, shown here:

Really not much to say about the pack, other than it's small, light, and durable. It's what I expected. AND I LOVE IT. :raa:

worth every penny. Oh, and probably gona buy a pack insert to slimline things even more, and a bottle holder for the side.

saw that one-but the bottle corset seems more secure and can store up flat. :thumbsup:

(Although the MOAB is good as a car/grab bag cos it sits well on a floor)

That's a really nice pack. Agree with AJ that it's better proportioned than the MOAB 6, and 2 strap so I guess it carries nicer too.
One thing I do love on the MOABs though is the full clamshell opening, something I miss on my rush.

I'm seeing all the replies by chance...quote biznatches!! I'd love for a clamshell opening, but it's been working out just fine. I'm deeply in love with this pack, and actually thinkin about buying more for it. Already have the bottle corset and flyye op pouch that's so not khaki colored....well, it's "flyye khaki" :rolleyes:

They make a bunch of packs and pouches.

And the fleece:

It's hotter than a demon sasquatch getting buried in a bed of hot coals in the middle of a volcano in anything warmer than 60 degree weather. I've since gotten a blackhawk training jacket which is more appropriate for southern california for most seasons.
