To be truthful, I did not expect much of this purchase. With high end bags running into he several hundred dollar range, I thought, for what I was using this for, it would be sufficient. I can assure you this is much more than "sufficient". To the point, and, in an effort to calm the pack purists, I am not using this for combat deployment, rappelling, or any attempted emulation of a Bear Grylls episode. That said, for what it is, I doubt I will ever wear this thing out. It has a bit of heft to it, and,most everything you would want in a low priced pack. The straps are comfortable, the loops are plentiful, and, the MOLLE loops are firm, yet pliable. Attaching my BK to it was effortless, (you should hope it would be) and it held quite firmly. There are more pockets than you can imagine, and misc loops are provided for small carabiners and the like. Shoulder straps are equipped with lateral chest straps to keep the mains from sliding, and, there is an adjustable waist loop that easily adjusted to a size 38. ( Someday I would like to see if it will adjust to a size 36;) Zippers, as expected on anything new, are a touch stubborn, however, quite usable. I would not say it is waterproof, more water resistant, with a flap over the vulnerable zipper area to shed the water. I am not sure on fabric saturation. Lateral handles allow for 3-way transport, and they are well made in their own right. All in all, for the price, I do not see how you can go wrong with this. TONS of room at a reasonable price, great purchase.
