TadGear EDC Fast Pack

I'm always looking for a good solid backpack that can go camping with me, go to work, and serve as an overnight bag while traveling.  I've found exactly what I need in TAD Gear's FAST Pack.

It's not just another tactical looking backpack.  It's built very sturdy, and has solid components like zippers and stiching.  I've loaded it up in the high 40 pounds and carried it with the handle.  Many other packs would have torn (I know this from experience), but this pack does fine.  I've also thrown this on my back with a heavy load and have been amazed how comfortable it is.

In addition to the construction, it has some other cool features like a compartment for a hydration bladder, a transporter tail (fold down module for securing a rifle to the pack), and a "flashlight cave".  The flashlight cave basically is a little zipper compartment underneath the pack, that allows one to access the compartment while wearing the pack.

Here's the specs from the manufacturer's website:

MILSPEC 1000-Denier Cordura Nylon.
MILSPEC High tensile strength composite nylon thread.
MILSPEC High tensile strength nylon webbing.
MILSPEC YKK Nylon Coil Zippers.
Features our Modular "Transporter Tail".
Primary zippered external Admin top pocket.
2 zippered side accessory pockets
Features single right side TAD Gear "Flashlight Cave".
Flexible HDPE removable framesheet.
Volume = 1800 cu in / 29.5 L.
Colors: Foliage Green, Multicam, OD Green Limited Lifetime Warranty.

I've enjoyed using this.  The various webbing on the outside makes it possible to attach commercial and milspec equipment pretty much anywhere.  There are plenty of external pockets and one internal pocket.

When I was getting ready to purchase this pack, I was also looking at the Kirafu line of packs, but went with this one.  I still might purchase a Kirafu for longer trips.  The TAD Gear is perfect for carry on luggage for an airplane, but if you're going for more than a day or two, it might be insufficient for everything, although I've never been known to pack light.  1800 cu. in. is  a decent amount, but it can get tight if you're carrying another pair of shoes and maybe a laptop with  a couple changes of clothes.  That said, I've used while camping to carry water, snacks and other junk while hiking, and it's been more than enough.

The bottom line is that this is a bullet proof pack, great for everyday carry situations (hence the name EDC).  I highly recommend TAD Gear.  I've gotten other stuff from them and will say they have good customer service in addition to their products.
