Review on 🎒 Ultimate Hydration: Exos Tactical Backpack Rucksack for Outdoor Enthusiasts by Paula Rodriguez

I've only been using this bag for about 24 hours so I can add details on durability later but so far I'm totally impressed. First, the quality seems pretty premium (I have a better quality bag but it costs 6x the price). The zippers are big and strong. There are plenty of straps to compress the bag to keep it compact, most with elastic straps to control excess straps. The shoulder straps are large and well padded. As a touring backpack, it looks very comfortable and all compartments can be opened completely for easy loading and unloading, so you don't have to blindly rummage around for something that made its way down. I started looking for a "hiking bag" or "bug bag" to pack my essentials, but I think I'll use these rather than "keep it by the front door filled with supplies, which I'm probably a typical one." , use family bag. It also looks like a great carry-on, maximizing capacity and fitting neatly under the seat in front of you on the plane. We struggled finding the right bag for this when we had kids and needed to pack one with loads of snacks, games and electronics to keep them (and I) busy for a few hours. For $45, it's an easy choice if I decide I need another one for another purpose. At the moment I have stocked up on a change of clothes for the whole family, first aid, diapers and wipes for the baby, typical snacks and many other little things (sunscreen, cell phone charger, bottle opener etc.) and there is still room for b more. My only criticisms are: 1) I wish there were more pockets and such in the compartments to organize and store all those little things, and 2) a vertical compression strap (clearly visible in the photos) went under the MOLLE fabrics for both bottoms and top, the outer compartment made access to the bottom compartment difficult. However, this was easily detached by moving it outside of the strap on the top compartment, allowing it to fold down and out of the way when the bottom compartment was opened. But these are VERY minor issues, and overall it's worth the $45 I paid for it. Update: Almost a year later and this bag still works. No cracks, scuffs or scuffs despite almost daily use. Still gets five stars. Would give six if I could.
