TRU-SPEC Elite 3 Day Backpack Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

I have used this pack everyday for the past month. I take it everywhere with me. I use it primarily for hiking but also as a gym bag lunch box and a general catch all. I like to be prepared wherever I go. I was pretty impressed with the pistol pocket in the lumbar region. I have a full size 9mm and it fits nicely without causing any discomfort while using the pack. I have a 30lb ruck plate specifically made to fit in the hydration sleeve. On 4+ mile hikes the loaded pack is pretty comfortable even without the hip belt. The attached rain cover is handy. I haven't had to use it yet but it covers the pack nicely even when loaded. The smaller compartments help you stay organized and the mesh makes it easy to see anything you have stowed in them. The only reason I have only given this product 4 stars is because I haven't had time to test it's long term durability. But so far I haven't noticed any distressed seems or lose stitching and it has performed well in the areas I bought it for.

Just what I needed. I bring this to work packed with gym clothes, paperwork and the days food. It has more than enough space for the daily routine. I put it to the test this weekend when I took the family for a day hike on some local trails. Plenty of room for food/snacks, daipers/baby stuff. The hydration pouch is nice too but the hose port at the top was too small for the hose and I'll have to cut it open, no big deal. The bag is lightweight, well made and has plenty of storage options. The only thing I could find an issue with is there's not a good spot for paperwork. I've found if you put them in a folder and stuff it in the hydration pouch they won't get too damaged. Overall a good buy.

This is a very nice pack for the price. There is plenty of space and the quality of the material is excellent. I use it every day and constantly run between 20 and 28 lbs. of gear. I did strengthen the stitching at the point where the shoulder straps meet the body of the top of bag using a heavy waxed thread cordage. This was done not because of the bags failings but because I intend to use this hard. It was my choice to do so. This pack is a BIG bang for the bucks when you compare it to other more expensive bags on the market. BUY ONE!

I like the backpack. The design is comfortable and practical. However, the zipper broke the first time I ever used it. I had the same problem with all of the zippers on the last Tactical Gear backpack I ordered and I am not pleased. I probably won't order from them again.

I been using this pack for about a year now in my work as a FEMA Site Inspector at disaster sites. Functionally it has everything I need. But the shoulder straps started separating from the bag and I'm hoping it will hold out till this deployment is over and that this pack was the odd one of the bunch because I'd really like to replace it with another just because of it's features. Sure wish you'd reinforce where the straps hook to the top of the pack though.

THE BAG IS DECENT AND HAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF ROOM BUT THERE ARE LIKE-QUALITY AND SPACE BAGS OUT THERE FOR HALF THE PRICE. I TOOK A CHANCE WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS ASKED FOR, SADLY ITS JUST NOT WORTH THE MONEY. NOT BAD BUT DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!

This pack is terrific. It has plenty of room, the interior organizational pockets/pouches are handy, and the integrated rain cover is awesome. (oh, and it comfortably conceals a firearm too...!) It's exactly as described, well made, and worth the money.

I like the pack but i was disappointed because the multi camo picture you show on the website shows the colors being camo with brown coyote style molle straps and when i got it was all green.. So kind of a dissapointed

This is the second one of these products I've bought (the first from a competitor). These packs are perfectly set up for the work I do as a FEMA Site Inspector. My first pack lasted about a year before the shoulder straps started separating. I'm hoping that one was a fluke because these packs really are just what I need. This one is about to get the test in N.C.

The pack is awesome, the padding and stiff back really helps when rucking. camelback pocket and hose port is A+. The zipper tassel paracord already came undone on the zipper. Tied it back on and trying to keep the knot from coming undone. If you can't unzip it, then it is kinda useless, other than that, the pack is high quality.
