Mardingtop 65L Molle Hiking Internal Frame Backpack with Rain Cover for Camping,Backpacking

I got this pack on one of their sales and couldn’t pass it up for the price along with all of the reviews. The one that I received was the forest green 65 liter version with molle on the sides.Before I get into the pros and cons I just want to give some context. I’ve probably put around 20 miles or so on this pack thus-far, so not many. Last night I decided to load it up to about 80lbs and go for a walk to see if the straps would hold up. Some were saying it can handle 100lbs while others where saying it cannot. After a 3 mile stroll, the backpack was coming apart. What is disappointing is that the listing doesn’t actually give a weight rating to this pack so I had to test it myself. If you end up buying this pack, do not expect it to perform over 50lbs. I would say it is probably rated at 40-45lbs and you could probably push it a little and still get a decent life out of the pack, however, this is not a “mil-spec” bag nor is it meant to carry extreme weight (though I would hardly classify 80lbs as extreme).That being said, this is an excellent recreational bag for a moderate weight like 40lbs. I would say that the pack is basically a civilian bag with military features such as the colors and molle. If that appeals to you, I think this is a solid choice.The stitching is very good. With the exception of the shoulder straps in the pictures, I’ve had no issues pulling and tugging on these straps to secure equipment. I like my gear extremely tight. Just don’t go putting tons of weight on the suspension system and you’ll be fine.The last thing I’ll add about the weight: the version I bought weighs 5.8lbs. That makes it sort of limited in the amount of weight that is ideal to carry. If your going lightweight, go for another pack. At the same time, you don’t want to go to heavy with this pack either. Just food for thought.Pros:-Abrasion resistant-Natural color options-Molle-Fully adjustable torso-Comfortable shoulder straps-Heavy duty stitching-Comfortable suspension system-Quality zippers and clips (YKK)-Top AND middle access-Elastic straps work well for noise discipline and loose strapsCons:-Limited to 45lb pack weight-Not water resistant-Not for “lightweight” hikers

I just transferred all the contents of my numbered-brand-backpack to this one (I have a 65L model). while my former Go-Bag was already busting in the seems, this one had still plenty of room (like I only filled it up 3/5 of the way - you can tell since the straps are tightened almost to the ends) and it did not cost me even 75% of the former. what I loved most is the bladder compartment - you have to improvise the holder/attachment of the bladder though but with the opening and space, I did not mind (I have not filled up the bladder at this time). although I have not taken it to the outdoors, the material looks sturdy enough to endure the rigors of my survival treks. the shoulder and the belt straps fits nicely so weight is distributed quite well which makes it comfortable - the frame (actually, its just 2 pieces of flat aluminum situated at the spine) helped a lot in keeping the shape intact and to its stability. I wished I did not order 3 more additional molly bags since space is still plentiful. the bottom portion fits my US-GI bivvy and deuter sleeping bag just fine with room to spare. inner divisions doesn't seem to be much of a deal since if you organize your stuff well in individual bags/containers, it could be readily accessible. not to mention that there are already too many pockets to go around with (you really have to remember where you placed everything!). was also able to attach my gerber parang without any hassle and a little ingenuity. the medical bag (trauma kit) fits nicely (via molly) into the top portion. I have no doubt that I can still put in at least 2-3 MREs inside as well. OVER-ALL A VERY GOOD BUY FOR ME since it complies with my required specifications and reasonably priced! added actual pictures of my set-up - still missing the additional molly bags but it already looks great...

I like that I can put so much stuff in it including my rifle and the weight stays centered or forward it never pulled me backwards like so many other packs, the only reason I didn’t give five stars was because I was disappointed in the hip belt support it’s just your basic black nylon strap wrapped with foam and yeah it has big pockets but come on guys make these belts adjustable from the back so I can pull the foam more around my hips and why does the connection have to be a cheap black nylon strap like my kids third grade backpack.The chest strap also is no different than a Walmart kids backpack just a cheap nylon strap that clips in the middle come on guys you can’t make it a little more comfortable a little padding maybe some fleece wrapped around it like on my dogs collar or at least have a removable piece for those of us who want the comfort. It’s not a lightweight pack but is an extremely durable.If you’re looking for a good pack for hunting or you don’t mind having a little bit heavier backpack this will carry everything easily, I put three days supply in there for a short backpacking trip and there was so much extra space.I loaded it up with over 60 pounds, 65 pounds to be exact, of canned food goods and the weight did not pull me backwards and I was able to adjust all the straps so that it felt really comfortable but I didn’t go for a hike with 65 pounds of canned goods I don’t think I would get very far.I have three days supply of food for two people for three meals per day including my dogs food and snacks, an A.R. 15 SBR, 60 rounds of 5.56 ammo 2 L of water, tent, sleeping bag, camp stove and 2 fuel cans and my total weight including the pack is 37 pounds, everything easily fit into the bag and closed up tight and nothing needed to be attached to the outside and mole, It’s more weight than I really want to carry especially hiking mountainous WA state but since it’s so comfortable I’m gonna go for it and go slow, and since I have so much food I can stop and enjoy a really nice meal, oh I also have coffee sugar and creamer and powdered creamer is very heavy for some reason almost as heavy as the liquid.So if you’re just a tree hugging hippie looking for a lightweight sissy pack then this is probably not for you but if you’re a real man who likes to carry a gun then this is a great bag for you and you should get it you’ll love it.

Lo que necesitaba, ni más ni menos, caben perfectamente todas mis cosas para acampar y más, lo único sería que se tenga que reforzar la agarradera superior de la mochila, pero en este caso no hay nada que una forrada con paracord no arregle

Es una gran mochila me ha sido muy útil

At least as good if not better than what I was issued as a ruck in the forces, not that that's saying much. Haven't used it extensively, but haven't had any major problems so far. Ample space for all my camping gear, it all fits in the bottom compartment with the top compartment free for clothes, food, etc.
