No wheels. No pockets sewn where a factory guessed you wanted them. Clip your own pouches where your hands go, and take them off again when the day is a short one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe front of this bag is a mounting board\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOLLE is the grid that lets a pouch, a sheath or a first aid kit thread onto a pack and stay there all day. The webbing version does it the traditional way, with six rows of webbing stitched across the front pocket and more around both sides. The laser cut version swaps the stitching for a double layer of fabric punched with seven rows of six slots, forty two in all. Same standard, less thread, nothing for grit to sit behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither way you build the outside of the bag yourself, and you rebuild it in ten minutes when the next trip wants something different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour zipped compartments, not one deep hole\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment takes the bulk, and in front of it sits a second full height compartment with a zipped mesh pocket in its lid for the small flat things. Then two more on the front face itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the webbing version the lower front pocket folds down flat onto a proper organiser panel. A slip pocket swallows a phone, three pen loops sit beside it, and a row of elastic retainers runs along the inside of the lid. The upper front pocket is flat and deep, and a laptop slides straight into it. Load it once and you stop hunting for the head torch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the cheap one gives itself away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA forty dollar tactical pack is a camouflage print on a slab of foam. The back is one flat pad that sits against your shirt and stays there. The straps are webbing with a little sponge in them. Nothing pulls the load in, so a half empty bag swings behind you on every step down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has a padded mesh back panel, with the padding raised into channels so air can move behind it, and shoulder straps padded and faced in the same open mesh. A webbing waist belt takes the weight off your shoulders, and two compression straps on each side squash a light load flat before you set off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich of the two versions to pick\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWebbing MOLLE is the rounder, more traditional shape, with its compartments stepped forward and a Spanish flag patch on a hook and loop strip. Laser Cut MOLLE is squarer and flat fronted, with a large hook and loop panel across the top pocket and a black and white American flag on it. It also adds what decides it for most people: a deep mesh pocket on each side, cinched with a drawcord, holding a shaker or a wide bottle upright while you walk. Take the laser cut one if you carry a bottle, at the gym or on a trail. Take the webbing one for the traditional look and the lower price, because everything else is the same bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoad it in the hallway the night before, and where everything lives stops being a question at six in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity: 45 L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Polyester, water-resistant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttachment system: MOLLE.
