EMDMAK Military Tactical Backpack, 42L Large Military Pack Army 3 Day Assault Pack Molle Bag Rucksack

Bought this in Jan 2023. Its April 2025. This bag is still going strong. The inside lining in the main compartment came undone around the top because I had a heavy battery pack stored in the top net portion. other than that, its still in tact and I've used it daily since I bought it.

Excellent bag in the military tradition. Tough, very roomy, plenty of pockets and molle for additions if desired. Very fond of the chest and waist straps, which make for a nice balance. Very secure, very versatile.

I am honestly pretty blown away with the unbelievably high level of craftsmanship and quality with which this bag was made. I am extremely hard on my backpacks and other storage or transport containers and I've had probably 10 different backpacks in the last 10 to 15 years, and I could tell immediately just by the feel of the canvas material that this bag was made of that it was going to be good quality. I mainly just use it as a work bag But I routinely transport about 35 to 40 lb of stuff back and forth from my job to home and I've been using this for about a month now and I don't have a single loose thread, tear, zipper malfunction or anything at all. And the cubic footages incredible inside, and the fact that it can be folded open completely 180° makes loading and unloading it so much easier. The many different attachment points for third party equipment was also very nice. Apparently I didn't read the description very well because it also comes with an insulated cup holder that can attach to the backpack as well as about six or seven clips for connecting other things to the bag. And the inside is full of different little pockets small zipper areas which makes it great for tactical use as well as day to day. I am 1,000% guarantee you that you will not disappointed if you purchased this product, and no I have not been given anything from these people nor do I know who they are, but I can tell you this.. whoever they are they know what the hell they're doing with tactical backpacks.

The 4 stars is because of the value and the shape/pockets. I'd give the quality a 3 stars. The material just doesn't feel the toughest, and the way the zippers have to go around the very square, 90 degree edges of this bag make me nervous for the future. But this is a very early judgement... the bag could prove me wrong. And that's where I bump it up a star to 4 stars... because lets face it: You didn't pay a lot for this backpack. So for what I paid, the value is very high. I'm not taking this thing into combat, I'm carrying around my laptop and gym clothes with the occasional day hike.If you love a pack with multiple cinch straps, M.O.L.L.E. strapping, a good waste belt, and many different compartments to organize your stuff, you'll love this pack. It's also a great size... not too big, not too small. I can fit my 17.3" laptop in this thing, but realize the bottom isn't padded like a backpack meant to carry a laptop.

UPDATE 3: 15 months in (December 2021) and the bag is still going strong. I see some reviews where the bag didn't hold up, maybe they have some quality control issues where some weren't as good as the one I recieved? I don't know but I'll tell you that mine is very well built and I do not regret the purchase in the least. It's a very durable backpack.UPDATE 2: Five months in of daily use (Feb 11, 2021) and still as good as new. They also lowered the price (at least on the black one, the others are still pricier) back to a reasonable place so I will be ordering a second one. At roughly the $30 mark, this bag is a steal, it you're going into the $50 dollar range like some of the other colors, you can probably find better value elsewhere.UPDATE: Three months in (Dec 14th, 2020), still holding up beautifully. The backpack is as rugged and durable as it looks. A quick note based on a review I read. The bag comes shrink wrapped for protection, so it'll take some use before it fills out fully and looks just like the pics. However, mine now looks JUST like the pic.I actually went to buy a second one and I've noticed they raised the price by roughly 33% since I grabbed mine. That's disappointing and is a massive price hike in such a short period, however, it doesn't affect my rating of the product itself.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I searched for a while before I bought this. I wanted something I could cycle with that had a lot of space. There are MANY similar backpacks on Amazon. I'm assuming the pattern has been taken by many different Chinese manufacturers and copied and recopied with varying levels of quality. I spent days reading reviews, especially as I wanted to make sure I got one with good zippers as this bag will be getting a lot of use.Though this review doesn't speak to the longevity of the product as I've only been using it for a week, I can say that at this point, I am VERY happy with it. It is quite large and holds everything I need. The material seems very durable and the zippers are quality. It also has multiple compartments for organization.This particular backpack also had something that many others didn't, a thicker waist belt in order to take the weight off the shoulders. The waist belt also has two small pockets for wallet, keys, gum, etc. It also has a smaller chest strap to keep the shoulder straps in place.I couldn't really be happier with it right now. If things change, I will update the review.Oh, and it came with a couple of bonuses that aren't listed in the description. Aside from the water bottle pouch listed, it also comes with a little drawstring pouch. Also, it came with an odd little credit card shaped multitool. I'm not sure how useful it is, but hey, it was free.

Made my husband a 'go bag' for a gift. This bag is strong with tons of space and lots of pockets.

I've had this backpack for about 2 years. All zippers still work. The straps are still perfect. I have a lot of storage organization for my tools and organization is a must for tools. The color is just a bonus.

Exactly what I need for my workout! 💪🏽
