Condor Compact Assault Pack w/ Hydration Compartment (Color: Coyote Brown)

"I was very surprised by this little pack at first, mainly because I wasn't expecting the Marine Corps to give me one. This became standard issue in the USMC late last year.

It's a sturdy, well made pack. Seems more solid than some Camelbak gear I've bought. It's heavyweight nylon and stitched well, and the strap system takes a lot of the load off of the zippers and seams.

The pack has four cargo pockets total, plus the hydration pocket. The two main pockets can each hold an issued hygiene kit bag plus some extra items, just to give a sense of scale. You could definitely live out of this pack for a day or two if you packed smart. There are straps underneath for a shelter or rain poncho, just be careful as that can interfere with web gear.

I have not used the hydration pouch yet, my camelbak is leaking so I'm not to keen on sticking it under a heavy pack.

Maybe not the best pack out there but $40 ain't bad, in my case you can't beat free. I've been using it as a day pack since getting home and I haven't been gentle, it's holding up. The difference in price between this and a more expensive pack is probably weight, this one doesn't exactly have high-speed low-drag warplay in mind.
