The ideal tactical backpack should be roomy, functional and of course reliable. How to choose the best when everyone is good on the counter? We did a little research to find out what are the differences and weaknesses. Our readers deserve the best! Enough sentiment – let’s get started.
This backpack has a good combination of price/quality. A large selection of colors and a well-thought-out structure can suffer due to the poor-quality work of Chinese sewing machines. Many Amazon customers have enjoyed the versatility of this backpack. It can be used as a bag for every day, and tourism.
What I liked:
Stylish design and about 20 colors
3 sizes – 25/28/35 liters
Lots of pockets of different sizes
Fits 17 “laptop
Able to carry 30-40 pounds
+ 4 hooks to fasten a couch, tent or something else.
The backpack is made of 600D polyester.
YKK zipper
Hydration system – you can drink on the go (compartment with a 2.5-liter water canister, the tube is fed through the top of the bag next to the handle)
MOLLE mount for extra bags and equipment.
Belt support to reduce stress can hide in the space behind
Adjustable chest straps with chest and abdomen support
The breathable back pad will remove excess heat and will not slip
Strong backpack for strong men. It will be a good choice for military service, as it has tactical design, pockets for a walkie-talkie and a compass. It looks reliable and roomy.
What I liked:
Strict military design (9 colors)
The backpack expands from 40 to 64 liters.
Lots of pockets of different sizes
Able to carry 40 pounds or stock for 3 days
Side mesh pocket for water bottle
2 small removable pouches on straps (convenient to put electronics)
The backpack is made of waterproof 600D polyester
Reversible zippers for protection against dust and dirt
Hydration system – you can drink on the go (compartment with a place for a 3-liter canister for water)
Belt support, to reduce stress, can hide in place behind
Adjustable straps with chest and abdomen support
100% money-back guarantee if you don’t like it
MOLLE mount for extra bags and equipment.
What I didn’t like:
Lateral vertical MOLLE – is useless for many
The side pocket for the bottle breaks very first
It is not indicated whether the tank of the hydration system is included
This is a really big backpack for tourist trips. Will be useful for relaxing in tents. It is very conveniently designed and has many useful features. Too bulky for daily use.
Even with such a small size, this backpack remains roomy enough. It is convenient to go camping for 3 days or every day to school. The seller pays great attention to quality control.
What I liked:
Small army backpack (34 liters. 11 “* 18” * 12 “(W * H * D),
Allows you to transport a laptop 17 ”
Made of high-density waterproof fabric
Double-stitched and heavy-duty zippers
Compatible with hydration system (2.5 liters)
Inside the pockets are many compartments and partitions
The distance between MOLLE is less than 1/2″
Belts fix the backpack well and you can run along the slopes with it (does not bounce)
The seller puts a patch with the US flag as a nice gift (that’s cute!)
This backpack is very roomy due to the large size and extra bags on the sides. It distributes the load well will help to cope with the military campaign. The rifle can be secured with straps instead of a side bag. A good choice for mountaineering, camping, and army training. Too bulky for daily use in the city.
If you were looking for a durable tactical backpack for travel or everyday use – this might be a good choice. Be careful, the equipment 37L and 27L is different. Amazon users recommend choosing a larger backpack (37L).
What I liked:
Medium Tactical Backpack – 27L, 16.5 “(H) x 9” (W) x 11 “(D),
Chest strap MAX: 51 “
Waist Strap MAX: 45 “
MOLLE (for securing bulk cargo)
Thick fabric, durable straps, double seams, and heavy-duty zippers
High-quality control
Side and front load compression system
The back of the backpack and shoulder straps have a soft mesh upholstery
The 37L backpack can push one or two side bags on either side of the backpack (the 27L backpack could not extend)
The 37L backpack could be suitable for the Seibertron 2L water bubble (the 27L backpack did not fit)
This backpack is not a special model for hiking. This is a universal design and layout for wearing every day while studying, training, or outdoor activities.
What I liked:

9 types of color!
What I didn’t like:
To fully open the zipper of the main compartments, the side sliding straps can interfere

Tactical & Survival Expert
I am from the generation that tried to repeat all the tricks of Jackie Chan, hunted birds with homemade bows, and built my mini-base in the forest. At the age of 18, I was a scout in PLAST (scout organization) and participated in campaigns and quests. Somehow we decided to test ourselves, took our backpacks and walked 50 km (31 miles) in 1 day. We had a lot of fun!
Remembering my past, I ask in bewilderment: “How am I alive after all my adventures?” - harsh trials, reckless parties, love affairs, and a sea of silliness.
My hobbies are weapon upgrades, tactical gear, and the latest in wilderness survival technology. I have hundreds of different survival gadgets in my collections, which are sent to me for "test-driving" by Amazon, eBay, and other online retailers. That's what I write about, and I also make YouTube videos about them! Stay tuned!
