huh???.......paint to paint.

as far as that camelbak it is something i thought of for hunting.i want to incorporate the MOLLE/PALS system into my hunting gear but i dont know about UV brighteners in that stuff.i know clothing made for hunting doesnt use any since deer pick up on that.

all in all i have herd some good reviews on them.i got a good look at the spec-ops brand one last weekend at the gunshow in CB,not bad.

you can find interceptor vests around in good condition too.

MRPINK,

here's a pic of the BL pack on my person

i think it looks a little big to me in these pics.i'm 5ft 9in,170pnds for size referance.

as far as which kifaru i'm getting i chose the zulu and i got the E&E pack for an add on.i also plan on getting the XTL {extreme top lid} and a whole slew of other pieces of kit for it.

its a 2800cu pack that i could make a 5500cu or more if need be with all the "DOC'N LOCK" options and pouches.

i can spend 2 hrs on that site drooling.their packs are so versatile.you can havw so many different configurations with just one main pack.

i would suggest getting the omni belt with any bigger sized pack like the zulu.

i figure i'll have it in a month or so if they are true to their 4-6 week delivery time.i ordered 2-3 weeks ago.i cant wait.i hope to lug all my BLADE bounty home in it.

this summers off to a great start and i orderd my first RMD last night.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm going to call them tommorrow morning and ask some questions (like how the BL belt attaches to the pack, warranty, etc.), if all works out well, I'm going to order.

I can't tell from the pictures, but does the backpack have a chest/sternum strap?

Is there a pouch in the "red circle", where you can slip the belt through? Like the green Kifaru pack.

I was going to order it right now, but came home and saw your post, which states the opposite of what they said. When I called and asked them if it had a sternum and waist strap, she said, no to sternum and yes to waist. Now their office is closed and won't open until Monday so I can't call back and confirm with them. Sucks, because I was ready to order. I hope they don't sell out over the weekend...

Right now the TAD Gear Fast Pack EDC (only Coyote Brown) is on clearance for $185 and I could pick it up since I don't live to far away, but I'm liking the Battlelab better.

well i've been wondering how the hell the waist belt attached.i just went upstairs and really checked mine out and i finally found it.

its not the middle piece you circled.if you look at the black material on both sides of the piece you circled,right where the black ends on both sides is where it is.

see where the bottom section of the shoulder straps connect to the pack?,right around where the SR buckles are?

that opens up at both ends and has velcro in it.

other than that they dont know what they're talking about.it definitely comes with a sternum strap and not a waist belt unless things changed in the last month.the waist belt is sold separately on their site for around $33.00

i think they got it backwards.

if you talk to them again ask them if the 3-day is discontinued.

other than that........BUY IT!!!!

Since they're not open, I emailed them. Hopefully they check their emails even when the office is closed in the weekend. I also asked if they are discontinuing the 3-day backpack. We'll see.

Yeah, I saw the belt they sell, the price is nearly the same as the Kifaru Omni belt. The Kifaru belt just seems more well designed. I'm thinking I should just order the pack and worry about the belt later...

I've been wanting a good backpack, I just got one sooner then I thought.

I can't wait for it to come in. Now I'm trying to decide what patches to get for it.
