I want a good BOB that wouldn't look totally autistic to have with me at work. Decent capacity but I'd rather it not be huge/heavy.
Kelty Redwing 50
Most tactical packs suck penis.

For real. This is exactly why I don't want one, I want something that can replace one.
got you covered OP

>Aesthetically pleasing
Gotcha senpai

Word of warning, it folds out flat and it's very likely you're going to need velcro pouches to organize your kit inside the pack.
>>30592882
>folds out flat
That gives him easy access to his gear. Just buy some lightweight silnylon pouches for organization and he is ready to roll.
>>30592882
You can just open the top like a regular old crappy top stuff camping pack. The velcro inserts are getting harder to find (they were limited stock last year when I was buying them). And it hurts really bad inside knowing you'll never use the MP7 velcro attachments.
>>30592912
I know, it's just that the majority of 'tactical' brands haven't really innovated for pack access outside of the few gucci brands.
Anybody got any other suggestions? Id like if it were as low profile s possible without being hipster trash.
>>30593359
any oldish bag that has metal buckles, leather preferably. you want a durable bag.
>>30593408
This is terrible advice.
>>30593423
how is something like this terrible?
>>30593469
Pls no
>>30593469
Put a lot of weight in it and see how much you hate your life.
>>30593469
its expensive for what it is.
its already needlessly heavy
its leather and canvas, so if it gets wet its going to STAY wet until you take everything out to dry it, and when its wet it will also increase the weight a lot
it has no back support
it wont breathe when its against your skin
the straps arent supportive and will dig into your shoulders hard
I've been using this one for about a year, it's waxed and decently waterproof, spacious and in the front pocket there is a holster
>>30593570
its also indestructible compared to most backpacks and a frame isn't hard to add.
>>30592818
Fuck for above $300 I'd better be getting something perfect, not something with no internal compartments.
Jansport. $50 or so for a good pack that will last you a good long while. All while making you look more "student on the go" than "THE TREE OF LIBERTY". It's great to have a neato super-duper Maxpedition pack that will hold your everything forever and look good doing it. But getting 90% of the performance for 20% of the price, while being largely discrete in a nondescript black or navy blue? That is absolutely BOB material.
>>30592587
I think I've decided to get the 44 version of this. I will get a real small 1 man tent and pad the hang under it innawoods, and then a first aid kit for the side. Some clothes in the bottom, food/cookware above that, and then the other side will have maps and shit. Ammo boxes stored in the middle near my shoulder blades, and mags on the hip supports.
>>30592532
just buy a MOLLE insert and use a jansport
>>30594029
I had no idea this was a thing, that's pretty cool
Any good, non molle laden edc bags out there?
This is a no-brainer: Savotta Jääkäri-backpack or Savotta Light Border Patrol-pack depending on whether you like MOLLE or not.

>>30594029
Nice. Where can I get that insert?
>>30592532
Just picked up a Kelty 1800 (AKA Peregrine 29) and it's super functional without being too "Tacticool". I have the Coyote Tan model but if I could do it again I'd get the Ranger Green or Black.
>>30593469
that looks like shit and seems heavy and uncomfortable as fuck.
>>30596321
Nice bag and not too expensive, good option right there. Also huge props for not having velcro shit for morale patches.
I have a brown Sand Piper back pack with mole attachments and compartments but I realize how much attention it gets. so now I stay away from "military" looking packs, Instead I have an LL Bean hiking pack which serves me well.
>>30592532
get a Mil Tec assault pack
pick a color like black, coyote tan or olive drab if you want to look not autistic
pick multicam or flecktarn if you want to look slightly autistic
>>30594559

Mystery Ranch. Pick your dimensions, make sure you get the right fit.

I want a kryptek tan one. How autistic am I and can I abuse that fact for financial gain in the form of autism bucks?
>>30596611
>kryptek
No, fix yourself.
>>30596611
>kryptek
that's not autism. thats pure faggotry of the chinese airsofter tier.
>>30596524
wasn't sold out a couple hours ago.
>>30596321
This. Peregrine 29 is awesome. Only bad thing is it can't fit binders/computer for work/school.
>>30596321
that looks kinda huge
and, an i the only one who hates mesh and external bottle holders and especially external mesh bottle holders?
from what i understand though, kelty makes top notch stuff
my jansport is falling apart after good amount of use over 2 years, and I need a new university sack.
how durable are these things? it may not be fashionable, but I don't get pussy anyways. who knows, maybe it'll start a convo with a slav qt3.14. are they big enough to fit a laptop?
>>30597537
>that looks kinda huge
It really isn't. I'm a 6ft 200lbs male and its a small pack on me.
Molle 2 assault pack is bretty good. Swissgear laptop backpacks are good for low-profile carry, only complaint is that the stitching in the straps is weak.
>>30597537
Where am I supped to put my bottle then? Inside? And then stop every 5 minutes when I want a sip?
>>30598138
>Where am I supped to put my bottle then?
your call bruh
> Inside?
again, up to you
camelback - dye?

>its also indestructible compared to most backpacks
Sure if you buy condor or pick em up at Walmart. If you like one and you have disposable income sure. Otherwise the price/performance ratio is shitty
>>30594559
Only correct answer. There will be a black version of the Jääkäri too.

This works just fine for me. It's on the small side, but it's pretty gray man.
I go to school in Florida and use this as my backpack. It's not any gear queer gucci shit and I didn't spend $600 so I doubt it will be well received but it does what I need, cheap and LL Bean customer service is top notch.
>>30593469
What the fuck man.
>>30599490
This is pretty dope
>>30596321
Huh that almost looks like my school bag but much more durable
>>30599490
LL Bean makes some pretty nice stuff. Buddy has one of their basic bitch backpacks from 10 years ago that survived high school, trips all over the country and a shitload of moves. It just now developed a rip
>>30596611
Kryptek needs to die
Thoughts on GoRuck? Is it a cult? Is it a meme? Or is it good?
>>30604379
Way too pricey for what they offer. It's a tough bag but other than that it has nothing that justifies its price.
>I don't care for money
Then just buy it if you like the looks.
Bout to blow my load getting a Mystery Ranch Crew Cab.
3 day pack sized, but it blows open to have extra storage for whatever the fuck you need. Basically you can use it for anything as long as you aren't planning to do a 2 week hike in the mountains.
>>30592532
I bought the $120 large SOB bag, or whatever the acronym is. Pretty big but pretty awesome
>>30604608
nice, but it seems a bit excessive
>>30598138
??? The open pocket on the side meant for your bottle perhaps??
>>30597604
By all accounts they are pretty durable since it's basically a burlap sack with straps. You could probably fit something in the 15" range in it, with some space to spare, but it would probably be a bitch to close.
>>30592532
I got one of these back in 09 and it's been holding up well since. Only recently did the chest strap buckle break, but that was an easy enough fix. I took this as reason to get a lapg 3 day pack(something else you might wanna check out) but I still find myself coming back to using this pack. It doesn't have a lot of molle, so it's more civvie looking. It also has more divided compartments so don't expect to just toss anything in there, you gotta be a bit selective. Though everything would be pretty well organized. If you do get it, I recommend you make a frame sheet from something, or pack a mat close to your back for support, helps a lot.
I just bought a TAD Fast Pack EDC. How fucked am I?
Mystery Ranch ASAP. I'd post pictures but I'm at work. Think of a internal frame pack but for a pack enough for 24-74 hours(day pack essentially) depending on how frugal you are with your load out.
>>30606798
>How fucked am I?
not at all. why'd you buy it?
i'be been using this one daily for about 5 years now and i like it quite a bit.
there's not a lot of built-in storage, but you can add pouches to it if you want
if you just bought it impulsively, you may not like it

This is an outstanding medium size pack, perfect BOB size. I've had mine loaded up to 35-40 pounds comfortably. It doesn't scream "tactical or military" either, especially in the grey or blue colors. They are on sale and in stock for under $110.
>>30608697
>mesh bottle holders
kek
>>30604379
>GoRuck? Is it a cult? Is it a meme? Or is it good?
All three. Occasionally they run huge sales, so just wait on one of those.
>>30609444
Kek...
Ive been waiting for a while to have them shipped overseas. Sadly Americans really hog their operator shit.
Goruck seems like the perfect combination between non-autistic, a tiny bit of molle. Neutral, yet tactical colors. High quality, wont rip. Inside molle straps...
One day... one day theyll come to Europe...
>>30608797
>mesh bottle holders
What exactly is wrong with that? There are bungee cords that you can't see in the pic to cinch up the top. It's not like you have to even use them anyway, the pack has a hydration sleeve.
>>30606798
>All that velcro
Quite disgusting otherwise it looks nice
>>30608797
Actually if you're a normal person and not a basement dweller prepper, mesh pockets are the way to go.
>But muh tactical
You'll never operate so relax.
>>30592532
A BOB should be as inconspicuous as possible, e.g. a pink little girls bag
tactailor m5 aid bag
