Red Rock Outdoor Gear - Defender Pack

Holds strong so far. The straps are kind of difficult to adjust. Looks great , very useful. I use this for work. A laptop and some accessories are what I carry.

While it held together it was a good backpack. The built in foam backpad is best removed and the front slash pocket is hard to open fully with out extra zipper manipulation. However for the price it is a good backpack. The pockets are simple and well laid out and I especially like the zippered mesh compartment in the secondary main pocket. The molle webbing is cleanly cut and though I used it sparingly it seemed well done.Unfortunately after about 8 months of use the zipper on the main compartment began to separate from the body of the pack at the stitching. After another month of continued use the zipper on the other side began to do the same, both at the corners of the pack. It might have lasted much longer under light use but under my fairly regular, daily use it did not last. Other than the zipper it seems to have held up acceptably. There are a few spots where the fabric on the pack is wearing away that might have been a problem in another year had the zipper lasted.Overall if I was used it more rarely it might have been fine, but for any constant or regular user the zippers seem most likely to be the point of failure.

Reasonably priced backpack. Wanted something to haul around a lot that excludes a laptop. Should do well for the days im not lugging a computer.Does not appear to accommodate CCW. Apparently it's some kind of proprietary liner, not meant for hook and loop.
