REEBOW GEAR Military Tactical Backpack - $31.99

Overview

This pack resembles the typical 3 day assault pack we know and love from our time spent in the military. With ample storage and MOLLE system integrated on the exterior, this pack is an easy choice for those in need of a scalable pack. Made of high-density nylon/polyester blends, this pack is moderately durable and a holds a level of average comfort, allowing the user to comfortably engage in survival-type situations, long distance movements and post-apocalyptic activities without having doubts that this pack will fail them.

Style

REEBOW GEAR offers a multitude of colors and camo patterns for any mission set or level of muted palette, giving this pack a ton of style points from us. Some teams are casual and want some flair when they step out while others have dedicated mission requirements to uphold; This pack gives everyone an option!

Storage

As you may know, MOLLE systems bring a piece of gear into the next level of storage; This pack has that next level. With MOLLE on the exterior and 4 extra full-size pockets, this pack maxes out on our rating for storage!

Comfort

The comfort of this pack is pretty average, meaning the user can expect a decently comfortable ride if heading out for short to medium range. The wider shoulder straps hold well against the body, easing the load across the shoulders. On the other hand, this pack (like just about all others) fall short on its sternum cinch clip. The sternum cinch clip is the key for maximizing load for long distances although this pack’s cinch digs in deep without much relief for the user.

Price

At a cost like this, you cannot go wrong! Priced at $49.00, this pack can go the distance without breaking your bank! We frequently see this price discounted from REEBOW and at the time of this writing, it is currently priced at $31.99!

Water-Resistance & Durability

Although this pack is advertised as water-resistant it should not be mistaken as water-proof; This pack resists water as far as the exterior nylon material it is made of allows. The interior lining of this pack is essentially the same as a normal backpack and after our tests, we have found that it’s water-resistance is quite minimal although simple water-proofing bags can render this issue irrelevant to the educated user.

The heavy-duty zippers on this pack have been tested to work under duress, ensuring the user will have access to their items after a long trek through neck-deep shit-water without zipper strain or breakage!

Extras

This pack is compatible with hydration systems, offering the conveniently placed port for your sippy tube that would be expected from a “chadly” assault pack, although it has been placed directly behind the users neck which is… off (in our humble opinion). Furthermore, the hydration system is meant to be placed directly within the back support area which could prove uncomfortable for some during long treks beyond the realm of civilized reality.

Love them or hate them, REEBOW GEAR has proven themselves as reliable gear manufacturers and this 3-day assault pack is no exception to that dedication to quality. Although they may not be American made, they offer a great quality for the price and that’s something worth mentioning!

Gowara Gear Tactical Sling Bag - $27.98

Overview

This pack may give the right user the edge they need. This sling bag has a limited style with an ample storage capacity for such a small carry, utilizing the MOLLE system to expand the capacity further. With average comfort (depending on user opinion on a single-strap pack), this pack could definitely dominate in the EDC arena but may come up short for a long-distance trek into voids unknown.

Style

The available style options for this pack are minimal offering only a black color option and coyote tan option for the user. This shouldn’t deter anyone looking for a pack like this, especially at this price! The redeeming point for the style of this pack is the sling-style carry, it’s different and offers it’s own unique usability to the trained user.

Storage

Featuring 3 main pockets and a MOLLE system exterior, a user can be pleased to find ample space for any type of jig or jag needed for an adequate bug out bag.

Comfort

Adequately comfortable depending on your opinion on sling-packs, this bag get a solid rating from us. However, it must be noted that this bag is unfit for long hauls with heavy weight.

Price

This price is unbeatable, Period.

Durability & Water-Resistance

The durability of this pack is adequate. Boasting a heavy-duty 600D polyester exterior, this pack’s durability closely follows that of a nylon-made pack.

This pack is advertised as water-resistant, not water-proof. Yes, we have to clear for some of y’all because we don’t want to hear any shit about us steering you wrong! This pack can’t be expected to handle submersion or even heavy rain fall while maintaining dry interior although a simple water-proofing pack or two can fix this issue.

Extras

This pack features a space for a handgun which can be optimal for a quicker draw-time than another pack.

Gowara Gear has been around for a short time although they do not seem to skimp out on quality. They may not be American made but that is hardly a worry for those needing a solid pack for under $50!
