Review on ๐ŸŽ’ 17 Pack: Optimized for Backpacking by Sam Anez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bigger and seems stronger than I expected and looks good.

I carry many work-related items in my backpack weighing up to 30 pounds. In the last 5 years I have looked through 2 Oakley backpacks, they never completely fell apart but looked very shabby but they were very reliable and worthy. for $150 each, I had them repaired twice by a cobbler for zipper tears. Wanted to buy a new one but found out Oakely discontinued this particular model and the rest were 2 little ones who specially got my bin of screws and bolts. I had my doubts but was surprised at how much more space it has. everything fits comfortably there, including my 2 drills and the back, and the strap is nicely padded. Now a few months will tell how it holds up but if I get 9 months I'll be happy with the price. Now this bag had a lot of pockets which is a little annoying for me but might be useful for other people and I'm not a fan of the mesh pocket on the side, I gave this one 5 stars for durability and hope I don't do have to change it. Very happy with this bag so far and I'll see if it holds up. If I have 9 months to a year I definitely consider it a better backpack than my Oakley. Considering the size of this bag I don't expect the edge on the zip to take any pressure when closing so I'm jumping to make sure the straps hold up and the padding doesn't fade quickly, time will tell but so far I'm enjoying it it.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
