I have a BUNCH of levels of go bag though.

this thing in black wouldn't be too bad. I am honestly considering it.

Their Coyote color also doesn't SCREAM and honestly may blend into most stuff a little better.

I have a Camelbak Transalp that I have carried for 12 years on and off. It is smaller than what you are refering to as a three day back, which I thought that the CamelBak Mystery Ranch Tri-Zip fit the category of, size-wise.

yeah I forgot about the trizip. I want to get my hands on one of those BAD.

You might want to consider the Ogio packs. I have an Ogio Metro, and have carried it for several years.

It's very good if you want to carry a laptop.

i've got a maxpedition pack i use for school.. very nice. lots of little pockets to organize my calculators and pencils too.

[calicojack]

can anyone comment on LL Bean's Build quality? i think i may have found something that will work <for now> that will work a little better than the raid i'm currently using.

in the long run i think i'm going to have a friend make me a updated version of the small alice pack. say 18hx11.5wx6d What I'm thinking is instead of being a top loader, it'd be a full zip front loader with the same front pocket, left pocket and a custom pocket on the right. the pocket on the right will be made from three "pouches" (for the nalgene, binos and light). and it'll be in a more "crowd friendly" color. I'm thinking charcoal or a "canvas brown"

I just got a Camelbak Tri-Zip, designed by Mystery Ranch. I really like it.

It really is a brilliant pack for hiking and beach use - I'm too attached to mine to take it on deployment now.

In Foliage, packs can actually be quite discreet, but still blend in great. My wife certainly appreciates her TT day-pack.

My Tri-Zip is Coyote, pride prevents me from having any foilage colored gear. Semper Fi.

I have one of these



In all black, and it works for me. I can even listen to my ipod It was like $50, has compartments and a generous main storage area.

I have one of these from my office. It's okay for day-to-day stuff, but simply lugging around my laptop, spare power supply and a pistol gets tedious quickly. I wouldn't want one of these for any kind of serious use.
