• I have no review since this product was not recieved. It was delivered to the wrong address by Fed Ex and they do not know what happened to it after that.

• I had originally purchased this bag as a bug out back to keep in my car. However, after using it for a while it has replaced my other backpack almost completely. In fact I liked it so much I purchased a second pack as a gift for my friends birthday.

  The quality of material that the backpack is made of is self evident after some ware. The backpack is made of cordura nylon and the zippers are some of the sturdiest I have ever seen on a backpack in the $70.00 price range. The features of this bag include an insulated camelbak pocket with multiple outlet ports, an expandable pocket at the bottom of the backpack with drainage ports, and a detachable shoulder back that is perfect for use as a medical kit if in theater, or a toiletry bag while camping.

  The shoulder straps are also completely adjustable and designed for people wearing body armor, so if you happen to be a big guy (like myself) it will fit you comfortably with a little elbow grease. The Molle attachment system is also excellent with many attachment points and strong stitching.

  All in all I would say that this is a great bag both for civilian and military use. However, I recommend that purchasers make themselves familiar with the Molle system before buying as the webbing can be a bit tricky for a novice to deal with. I also recommend purchasing some malice clips, or tacties, as many accessories that say they are molle are actually not. Tactical Taylor in particular makes very high quality molle gear, and attachment mechanisms, an is also a U.S. company.

• I bought this to use as my GOOD (Get Out Of Dodge) pack, replacing a MarTac bail out bag that just couldn’t hold everything I needed. But where the first bag failed, this one succeeded.

  There’s enough room in this bag for me to pack a spare change of clothes, maps of the surrounding states, 2 books, all my electronics gear, 4 spare magazines, a poncho, 4 MREs and a couple nalgene bottles. That doesn’t even include the front pouch, which I made into a detachable field medic kit.

  The bag feels solid, everything fits, and there are even MOLLE straps on the belt!

• Red Ledge Women’s Thunderlight Parka Rain Jacket,Bamboo,Small
  This is a very thin waterproof windbreaker. I thought that it would be warm, but it was just for rain.

• Red Ledge Women’s Thunderlight Parka Rain Jacket,Bamboo,Small
  This jacket is just as described. It is a light-weight, well constructed, truly waterproof jacket with lots of great features, at a fabulous price. The previous reviewer rated this based on their expectations, apparently without reading the description.

• Red Ledge Women’s Thunderlight Parka Rain Jacket,Bamboo,Small
  I purchased this jacket to replace a yellow pullover that had ceased to be waterproof after five years. I prefer keeping a lightweight rain jacket in my bag to carrying an umbrella. I am very pleased. It is exactly as depicted. I got the “New Moon” color and is is a very slightly lime tinged yellow. Visibility is a good thing on a bike and this color is visible. Three zippered pockets will hold everything I need. The hood folds into the collar. A well-made jacket that will probably give me a few years of good service. Longer in back for cycling. Nice bag to keep it in. Exactly what I was looking for.

• NEW CUSCUS 7500ci Internal Frame Hiking Camp Backpack Travel Bag- Gray/Black
  I decided to get this bag (the CUSCUS 120L) a few months after buying their 88L model – I liked the 88L & thought that this bag would be about 30% larger (120/88=1.36). To my utter and profound astonishment and dismay (and horror, and disgust), when it arrived I found out that it is NOT a 120 liter bag. I laid the new 120L on top of my 88L (both empty) and the 120L is slightly smaller than the 88L model.

  I’m not sure how a company (CUSCUS apparently) is able to market two nearly identical bags in such a manner: the stitching on the sleeping bag compartment and the product name clearly imply that these bags are a different size, to say nothing of the product claims on both Amazon (by Adventurer’s Bag) and CUSCUS’s own site ([...]) where the 120L is described as being 23″(L) x 13″(W) x 34″(H) [note: if these were accurate measurements then the bag would be 10166ci - they only claim 8100ci for some reason, even though that would still require the bag to be over 18 inches deep, the W&H measurements seem accurate]

  Here’s the kicker: the 120L came with a nice little tag on it describing the bag, the tag says the product dimensions are 36.5×23.5x73cm (this is just slightly less than 63 liters).

  I was (eventually) able to get a full (cost+shipping) refund from Adventurer’s Bag, however they have failed to update their listing for this bag as I requested, so I’m writing this review to help Amazon customers make an informed decision.

  Backpack buyers beware! Size specifications are “estimates” and can vary widely between manufacturers, unfortunately it appears that CUSCUS has abused this fact to falsely advertise one of it’s products.

  Summary:
  
  CUSCUS 120L: sturdy, simple, cheap backpack. Approximately 80L in actual volume. Comes with “A reinforced handle at back for better holding” and a flimsy “FREE” rain cover.

  CUSCUS 88L: sturdy, simple, cheap backpack. Approximately 80L in actual volume (slightly larger than the 120L). Nine (9) dollars cheaper when i ordered (though you still pay the outrageous shipping) – Spend less, get more.
