Revainrating 5 out of 5

*Bladder test update* Pretty good looking bag so far. Fake MOLLE however. (4>5 stars)

Regarding the included "Thin Blue Line" patch: I really didn't want that at first as it was used by the police as a privilege symbol for the last few years. certain type of people. However, on one particular day in early January 2021, these people proved they didn't really support the police when they agreed to beat the officers to death. I personally wouldn't do that, and they've seriously lost the right to wear the symbol. Now to the bag itself. Of the good things that initially caught my eye: - a thin profile, but a roomy main pocket and an additional pocket. The small pouch is also lined with a comfortable material. The reflective tapes are amazing as I'm often outside at night. I will probably add more. In addition, the chest strap and shoulder strap are fully adjustable and removable. There is a hose passage, I don't know why some reviews say there isn't one. The opening for the hydration bladder is big enough. for me to place my hand, great for cleaning! - The bladder was very clean and gave nothing but the fresh taste of water. - The hose is detachable and the bladder will stop the water flow when the hose is detached. - Classic American flag. After the first test: - Feels quite comfortable on the back. - Actually somewhat ventilated. - The insulation works great. - Could use a better shoulder rest. The previous bag I returned actually had adjustable straps over the shoulder straps that provided extra support, but I don't think most backpacks have that. The pockets aren't as close together vertically as in a real mall, meaning you can't make that secure weave with extra pouches you might want to add. - The diabolical use of police badges to sell "tactical" gear styles to a certain demographic. I'm counting the second
