Military MOLLE Large Transport Backpack

Rothco Transport Pack in Woodland Digital - LargeWasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't heard of the company or supplier before and the bag seemed to be very similar in look to another product offered on amazon made by Rothco. The Rothco bags seem to be of decent quality according to reviews, but this one, made by Fox, really impressed me. I was expecting a medium quality backpack for 60 bucks, but this bag surpasses others costing 3x as much.

MOLLE compatible, hydration bladder compatible, 3 separate "self-healing zipper" compartments, several compression straps, sleeping mat/bag straps, contoured shoulder straps, several D-ring attachments, thick canvas construction and a rugged heavy nylon/rubber bottom that will last forever. You won't be disappointed with this bag. Great for camping, hiking or just the daily commute to work or school. Holds a laptop well, though there's no small compartments or pockets for pens, MP3 players or phones, but maybe you can find a MOLLE attachment for that ;-)

I picked up the coyote color one, which is not represented accurately here as it looks very green in the picture. In reality it is a desert khaki color, nearly identical to standard military issue. Beautiful bag. Worth every penny.

First, about myself. I have spent a lot of time outdoors covering a lot of ground as a civilian. Also, I spent several years humping loads while in Special Forces. I've moved over mountains and plains, thru jungles and woods. I know something about this kind of equipment.

The Military MOLLE Large Transport Backpack appears well constructed. Mine is made by Fox and seems to be a good bag for what it is, but one thing IT IS NOT, a "Large Transport Backpack". It is better described as a day bag than a transport bag. Read the description carefully for the measurements. I missed them (it was late, I was tired and in a hurry) and judged the bag by the words "large" and "transport". I was further misled by some of the reviewers' comments that the bag was large. It's a day bag. A nice day bag and useful to me, but not large. Furthermore, it is suitable only for smaller people. The shoulder straps are designed for a smaller man, say medium build and 5'6" or shorter. For anyone bigger, you cannot distribute the weight of the load to the hips. Think of this bag as a sturdy book bag for high school and you will probably have a good idea of it's size and functionality. It's a nice bag, but if you are looking for a "large transport backpack", keep looking.

First of all, It took around 3-4 days to get here. Its really cool, has nice look with lots of space. Although there is 2 things I do not like about it. Its the rubberized bottom and the foam back padding mainly because it gets scratched and it will rip easily.. Im 5'9 and it fits me well didnt have to adjust it, fitted me well the way it came. For this being my first military backpack i rate it a 4.

So after 2 times of using this backpack for SCHOOL ONLY not abusing it during anything ex: paintball, airsoft,hiking,hunting. AFTER using it 2 times ONLY the bottom of the backpack has started to peal off come off therefore i will return this item and vote it 3 stars.

These packs are strong and do exactly what they're supposed to do. They hold quite a lot, as advertised, but when full you'll find the belts a little short. The only other thing I can gripe about is the lack of drain holes; fortunately these are built with adequate rain flaps over the zippers and if I really think I'll need drain holes I can easily install them without any trouble. Again, despite my crabbing, these are excellent packs and well worth the price.

I bought this backpack when the description said "Rothco Black Large Transport Pack". It was not a Rothco pack, but instead is made by Fox Tactical. The pack is made from heavy nylon and has lots of straps, probably too many to be honest, but they can easily be removed. I used it exclusively for carrying textbooks at school. This backpack only lasted one semester, however, before a seam separated on the top between the zippers. Very disappointing, especially considering the price. Spend a little more and get a backpack that lasts if you are actually going to use it for carrying things.
