I will start off this review by saying that i reallly, really wanted to love this pack. When i first received it, everything about the pack felt amazing. the build quality was great. Or so I thought. I am a Paramedic, so I constantly am taking my pack in and out of the ambulance. We are a street corner posting style system, So I basically live out of this pack for 12hrs. I has enough room for the basic essentials and that’s about it. Perfect as a Day Pack for hiking or a smaller bag to take to work at an office job ect. It fits my 14” laptop, some charging stuff and a few books just fine, but one thing that I noticed that was very odd was no water bottle pouch??? I know this is supposed to be a “tacti-cool” bag but you would thing that they would consider this. But back to the build. I looooved the way this pack felt. I have had it for about 8 months. it’s done well except one flaw... the buckles.. the one on the sturnum strap and the right shoulder strap both have cracked due to stress. Maybe it’s because of the climate i am in, or maybe it was just a faulty batch of plastic. but i would say the plastic started chipping and cracking at around 6mo. of ownership. I still love this back, and wish i could use it. Looks like I will be switching to a different brand until Condor figures out their quality a bit more..
