Haley Strategic Flatpack Plus (Color: Coyote)

"Got this as a birthday present and I loved it. I have had this backpack for quite a while, and have used it for an entire semester of high school. Its been tossed around in the dirt, sat and slid on the semi dirty floors of classrooms, and was used multiple times as a place to sit. I also use it to store stuff when i go play airsoft. Throughout all of that, this backpack has held perfectly and well. Its expensive, that's for sure, but its great quality. Everything about it looks great and feels great. It can fit quite a bit of stuff and still stay small.
Overall though, this backpack is very nice, and definitely worth the price.

"The Flatpack + is one of the best pieces of gear I have ever owned. I have no qualms of spreading the word of how good Haley Strategic's gear is (I own a D3CR-H as well, which is equally as fantastic). In specific regards to the backpack, I have an abundance of pros and very little cons, which are purely personal preference.

Pros:
-It is the perfect size for a recon pack, school backpack, gym bag, or carry on, as well as countless other similar uses.

-The space, as advertised, is gigantic for the low profile of the bag and the expandability works incredibly well. Just unzip the expander and your bag becomes perfect for whatever you want to store in it.

-The Velcro in the main compartment is incredibly smooth and is unnoticeable until you put some,thing Velcro there. It instantly attaches to the walls of the pack and is incredible strong and resistant to being pulled apart, which is in no way a con, only a testament to the quality of the components.

-While this may just be my opinion, the bag is good looking expanded and closed and the patch space on the front is extremely generous.

-There is PALS webbing on the back of the bag to attach to plate carriers, and although I have never tried to use it as I run it connected to just a D3CR-H, I am sure that it does its job well and there seems to be a generous amount.

- All straps are completely removable for customization if you so wish.

-Build quality overall is very durable, stitching is the best I have ever seen.

-Ample space for Hydration Bladders. I am not sure on what the listing states is the maximum Bladder Volume it can support, but I easily fit a 3 Liter inside the pack along with a full loadout sans the uniform. (Various goggles, face pro, etc.)

-Zippers are high quality and do not slip even under pressure.

-While this may be a con to some, the back has no padding and conforms to your body very well allowing you to connect it to yourself and have free range of movement without unnecessary bouncing, even when fully loaded.

-Straps are highly adjustable.

-As advertised, it seamlessly integrates with a D3CR-H to create a highly adaptable and competitive chest rig, and when disconnected can store the unattached rig inside of it (as well as a bulky battle belt that I run, to my continued surprise and impressment) all in the main compartment.

Cons:

-I only have one con and to be honest is very minor and opinionated. The straps that come stock are rather thin and completely unpadded. A very small amount of padding would have been very nice to ease on your shoulders, however they are durable and when worn to not really cause much disco,fort, and are no problem whatsoever.

Overall I Highly recommend this pack to anyone who is in the market for a high end backpack of this nature. Haley Strategic makes amazing gear for Airsoft and Real-World use, and will not let you down. The price may be high but only because it is 100% worth every penny HS asks for.
