I'm in in the Marine Corps, have had this bag for a little over a month, and it has proven to be well worth the money. I use the bag daily and it comfortably fits all my gear for the day (books/papers, pt gear, lunch, etc). The side zip pouch for your laptop is awesome because it provides a little more structure/rigidity to the bag while you are wearing it. I also took it for a weekend trip and it fit all my clothes, toiletries, and computer. If I had any criticism it would be that I wish the zippers were of a better quality. The zippers are fine, but you can tell that they are not the kind you get on the $200+ Blackhawk and Camelback bags. Having said that, for the money you can't go wrong with this bag.

This bag has durable stitching but some of the padding material that pushes up against your back has a pretty weak weave that just seems to rip very easily. It's nice and soft but don't drag this thing on a trail or prop it up against a tree.

It doesn't have any kind of internal frame, and the shoulder straps mount to the very top of the bag. Higher than the top of the bag, really. This makes the weight sit very low, meaning you have to lean pretty far forward with a heavy load to put your center of gravity over your feet.

The waist belt is pretty nice, the adjustable web belt part is pretty thin, but wide and the combination of the padded waist strap and belt does a pretty good job of comfortably seating the weight on my hips.

The chest strap is very nice also, it rides on a 3 bar slider on 1 inch webbing on the face of the shoulder strap, so it stays where you put it and is beefy enough to help raise the load up slightly higher as well.

Aside from not being able to adjust the ride height, the other change I would make to this bag would be to put more PALS attachments up high on the sides. The side PALS only start about a third of the way down the bag (there are attachment points higher up on the front of the main flap, but if I add another pouch or 2 in that location that puts the load further out from my center of gravity). That being said, I was able to use the top handle on each side (there are 3 handles at the top of the pack) to mount a couple old sustainment pouches.

Day to day this is a nice bag, but not for serious hiking. On a side note, I'm pretty sure "Daryl" uses this bag in "The Walking Dead" and you trivia folks can correct me if I'm wrong.

I purchased this pack based upon what I could find out about it with reviews and other information. It's construction is solid. There's one place where the stitching on the molle loops is coming loose, but I used a lighter to burn off the tags and it seems okay now. I've put about 30 pounds of gear, clothing, shelter and survival stuff and hiked with it for a total of about six miles. It seems to ride pretty well, except for a pinching sensation in my right shoulder which I attribute to the carry handle being attached to the shoulder straps. I have wide shoulders so, it takes some getting used to.

Other than that it will hold a 100 oz. water bladder and has lots of pockets for small stuff. I've attached two canteen pouches to the lower sides and an EMT pouch to the back. There's a pouch for my lensatic compass, one for my ammunition and a pouch for my multitool. Clothing, rations and small stuff go inside.

Honest reviews on Condor Urban GO BAG

This backpack worked great in the beginning. It held everything I needed for my whole day and I could attach even more to the outside if needed and the laptop slot accommodated my thick 15.6" laptop.

But then one of the straps on the side (the ones that reach from the back of the pack to the bottom of the front) ripped out when it got caught on a doorway. Now part of one of the straps is coming out of the seam, and one of the plastic ends on a zipper pull broke. This is not the construction quality I expected. The material itself seems solid enough.

This bag shames all the similar North Face, Under Armor, etc bags I see on the subway. Be warned, it gets big when filled with all the stuff it fits. Very good build quality. Is made of the rougher texture nylon. Not the "shiny" type the aforementioned bags use. I still put my money on this vs the rest. Those bags might even cost more, but the attention to detail and stitching is worthy of mention. There are many well-thought out compartments and straps all over this thing. The pictures don't do it justice.The padding on the back is great. The straps, too. I wore this yesterday during 92 degree, humid and nasty NYC weather and it was still comfortable. There seems to be air trapped in padding and high quality mesh in the straps and padding. It's weird for a chinese-made, "no frills" bag to seem to have been made with love and care, but this bag is very well-designed. I want the atacs one, now.
