CRAZY ANTS Large Military Tactical Backpack Hiking Camping Daypack Duffle Upgraded Version

Just came in. At first look this bag looks amazing well made. Im a product designer so it passes my initial inspection. It surprisingly has a rain protector built into the bottom. A little hidden compartment with a rain protector that wraps around the whole bag. You can see it in one of my images.I got this bag for a 6 month contract I will be fulfilling out in Hawai as a photographer. So I will update my review 1-2 months in after I have gotten some good use out of it.1 Year Later Update**** August 2020*** I was supposed to add to this review 1 to 2 months after initially purchasing the bag. It has now been over a year and I still extremely and highly recommend this bag. I have continued my stay in Hawaii and use this bag many times to transport all kinds of things and this bag is top-notch. The versatility makes it a must-have.

This is my initial impression of the duffel/pack I received, I will update later on after putting it into some 'abuses'.Initial impression of the quality of material used was overall good. It is a very good size for me to use as a check in piece of luggage while it is just a tad big for many planes' overhead compartments.I found that my pack has one of the paracord zipper pull carelessly sewn to the seam of the zipper- a QA issue there. I could return the pack and await a replacement but I decided to simply cut the portion of the paracord out from its sewn location; it might weaken that inch-long paracord zipper pull in the long run but right now, the paracord is more like a fray. That is extremely minor as I could simply replace it in the future as the pack get used.Pros-The size is simply WONDERFUL, not overly big as a real duffel but big enough to carry a lot.There are numerous interior pockets though I would like to see some it not all with zippers, but that would probably add to the cost of the product.The four external cling straps served wonderfully to tighten the overall load.Four external handles to aid in haul this thing about while trying to catch a flight.Wonderfully situated shoulder straps, hip belt and sternum strap long enough for adjustments.Zippered cover for shoulder straps when not in use- great to prevent snag as check-in luggage.Lots of molle attachment straps all around.Cons-Though the zipper shoulder strap cover was wonderful, it was only held up in its rolled up position on the top of the pack with a narrow strip of hook and loop tab. I would have appreciated maybe a couple of small straps/belts or even paracord tie downs to secure the roll more firmly so it would not get undone accidentally.While I like the shoulder straps, I would like them to be thicker as fully loaded, the weight could really cut into the shoulders.The same goes for the minimal sling-over shoulder strap, at least provide a thicker, wide piece of Velcro closed pad that would also keep the two loose straps together as one. That would have to be replaced by an aftermarket shoulder strap or something better I have laying about.I would appreciated some belt keepers for all these wonderfully long straps too, just so the loose ends would not simply dangled about. There are aftermarket hard plastic belt keepers that I will purchase for that purpose then.One last minor nitpick, that freebie American flag patch that came with it was more reddish than tan or coyote brown; I would have like a more subdued one but hey, it's a freebie.All in all, I like this pack and can't wait to haul it about in a couple of flights and then, I will update my review here!

I like the bag. What I don't like about it, it's more like a duffle bag and loads from the side rather than the top. In addition the waist belt didn't come around far enough where I could buckle it. So I had it altered with an additional 10 inches of webbing in order to be able to buckle it. (I'm large person around the middle). I wanted it for a my bug out bag and I've been watching a lot of guys on youtube on how and what they put in theirs. Now, I've followed their advice and suggestions and I can't figure out how they get all the gear they suggested in a smaller bag which weighs in at 25 - 30 pounds. When I load my bag, (there are some items they suggested that I haven't added and I've removed some items to lessen the weight) it's stuff full and weighs way more than 30 pounds. Still a project in the works, but having a lot of fun doing it.

I bought the 50 liter version to use as a gym bag to take to karate. I've been wanting "the perfect" bag with compartments multiple compartments to hold my gear and keep stuff organized. That bag doesn't exist.So I decided to try out a tactical bag with MOLLE webbing and just buy various pouches for the gear that can't just be tossed in the main compartment. And that was a great decision! The bag itself has plenty of room for both my gi and a few kobudo weapons, there's a large outer pocket that's perfect for paperwork I need to carry with me, and the addition of a gear pouch and first aid pouch gives me the gym bag I need with the right customizing.I wish the the shoulder strap had a cushioned pad on it but 1) those are cheap to buy and 2) I knew it didn't come with one so I can't ding the ag for not having one. The shoulder straps are comfortable and there are multiple ways to carry the bag, which I appreciate.So far, the bag is holding up well and I'd definitely recommend it for light to medium duty use.

Bought this back in 2018 - not sure if the durability issues have been fixed since then, but mine did not hold up very well.Within a few months the outer pouch internal sleeve ripped, removing the option for me to use this as an all-in-one back for laptop+clothes+etc. Still works as a one-compartment duffle though - just have to rip out the interior dividers or try to fix them again. Everything else has held up very well. Zippers are still good after 2 years, no rips on the exterior, exterior seams are still holding up.

This si a good bag in concept. It is roomy, well balanced decent design. It how ever is poorly made. the materials are good but the workmanship and quality control are not. It comes with a shoulder strap and 2 anchor points at each of the long ends, one of my anchor points was completely ripped out even though the strap was packaged inside the bag. But the curious fact was the plastic D ring was still attached to the strap. Someone had tested it ripped it out and packaged it any way. Very sad quality control.

A good size pack with many alternatives for storage. Lots of slots and zippered compartments and pockets. I use it for a gym bag while I am riding my bike to my workout. Only down side for me is the lack of the stopper at the end of the webbing to prevent the webbing from slipping out of it's buckle; when you take the shoulder strap off your shoulder, you have to be careful not to pull the webbing too loose or it will come right off. For the tiny effort of stitching the stopper at the end of the webbing, they should have just done it properly.

I've been using this bag for over a month now, and and have taken it on several out-of-town trips. These trips have been 3-5 days in length. This bag is big enough to hold all my essentials, except my shoes (size 12/13), but I could probably stuff them in as well.There is an internal sleeve that I throw a laptop and tablet into, but the interior is wide open. This makes it a little cumbersome to put all your clothes into without any way of organizing or separating. To get around this, I purchased a four pack of compressible packing cubes from Gonex. This makes packing and unpacking very easy. I prefer the versatility of the wide-open main compartment.I mainly use the bag in the duffel bag configuration. I haven't tried it in the backpack configuration yet. The backpack straps are hidden behind the zippered section and out of the way until needed, which is nice.My biggest complaint is the shoulder strap in the duffel configuration. There's no padding, so it does get make carrying a heavy bag long distances a bit painful, especially if the buckle is digging into you shoulder. I'll be looking into getting a third-party pad for the strap.Zippers have opened and closed smoothly, and appear durable. I have made sure not to tug too forcefully when the bag is full. Points where the shoulder strap connect to the main bag also appear to be durable.So far this is a great bag. I'm looking forward to taking it on camping trips, flights and places more rugged than hotel rooms.

Bonne qualitéSemble résistant mais peut-être limite pour un usage intensif, quotidien!Impressionnant de voir tout ce qui y entre

Great bag really big fits alot I also like how the straps pack away for a nice clean look with only the carrying Handel

Been around the world & remains unscathed. No complaints.
