I've been using mine quite a bit and it's a very good deal for the cash. I also realized that I like this design much better than the Maxpedition Colossus, which I ended up getting rid of because I like this one that much more. The Leapers one rides better, especially with the integrated water bottle holder. I had mine loaded with a 28 Ounce SS bottle, G27 w/ spare mag, flashlight, SAK, GPS and a few other odds and ends and it was noticeably less cumbersome than the Colossus packed with a similar load.

I also like the fact that the material is not as rigid as the Maxpedition. The Max is built like a tank, but this one just feels more comfortable all around....with out sacrificing quality.

I may eventually pick up another one for the g/f
